Default Important: Heritage Relocates Palm Beach Auction to Dallas

Here is the full press release:

Heritage Relocates Palm Beach Auction to Dallas!
Reserved Seating Offered to Floor Bidders

Dallas, Texas: Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers (HG&A) has announced
that its upcoming Numismatic Signature Auction, originally scheduled
for November 2-5, 2005 as part of the Palm Beach Coin Show, has been
relocated to Dallas, Texas for the same dates and times.

"Due to the effects of Hurricane Wilma and the subsequent cancellation
of the Palm Beach Coin Show, we have decided to relocate our auction to
our corporate headquarters in Dallas," said Greg Rohan, President of
HG&A. "I'd like to stress that only the physical location of the
auction has been affected; the session dates and times remain
unchanged, except that we are now starting the floor sessions based on
Central Time instead of Eastern Standard Time, which means each floor
session will actually start one hour later than originally planned."

"We've been monitoring this situation closely," said Rohan, "and felt
we had to make a decision quickly, due to the necessity of transporting
supplies and personnel to the show, as well as our need to schedule
delivery of our many consignments via Armored Transport. Yesterday we
thought the situation looked good for a Palm Beach auction and the coin
show, as the Convention Center, City Place and nearby hotels all had
full power restored. The Marriott across the street, where many of our
clients would be staying, had anticipated that their phones would be up
and running by yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately, as of right now they
still have no incoming phone service, and Bell South has been unable to
provide a guarantee as to when that service will be restored. In fact,
we have learned that the Marriott is full, and that several other
nearby official host hotels of the show are closed with no estimation
of when they will re-open. Additionally, officials in Palm Beach have
been unable to provide a solid timeline as to when services in that
area will be fully restored or when the current 9pm curfew would be
lifted. Coin show officials have also been told that security personnel
may not be available due to increased demands for law enforcement
presence in Palm Beach county and elsewhere in the affected area.
Therefore we felt that relocation to Dallas was the only decision we
could make given the information available at this time."

"I know that our decision will have a major impact on people's travel
plans," added Rohan, "and we're working with airlines and local hotels
to keep everyone's inconvenience to a minimum. We have included a list
of hotels with contact information at the bottom of this release.
Fortunately, we're told that there are plenty of hotel rooms and ample
flight availability to Dallas next week so getting here should be
relatively easy. The major airlines also have special policies in force
where you can exchange tickets for flights prior to November 15 to and
from West Palm Beach or Fort Lauderdale for tickets to and from other
cities, usually for no extra charge. Of course, none of this impacts
those bidders who were planning on participating via our phone or
Internet platforms."

"We are pleased to announce," Rohan added, "that NGC has agreed
to come to Dallas and grade coins during this event. Although we're
disappointed by this turn of events, we hope that our clients and
friends will join us in Texas for what is sure to be an exciting
auction."
