Was this a Stacks or maybe a ANR auction? The article doesn't say.

Can you even imagine the extra coins that the Smithsonian must have in the vaults? The multi-millions of dollars worth of duplicate coins, stamps and other items could keep the museam going for quite a while and would give collectors an opportunity to own coins that otherwise are never on display and never available.
