Demand for eye-appealing and premium quality coins pushes Heritage Auctions' July 20 event over $237,000.

Composition of “silver-nickel” pieces may vary, not yet studied by modern numismatists; elemental analysis is required; only standard nickel alloy (75% copper, 25% nickel) pieces are known of light color.
