Ohio has started selling the rare coins that were part of an ill-fated state investment at public auctions, including a recent sale in California that generated about $3.2 million.
Superior Galleries, a California auction house, sold about 240 coins on behalf of the state as part of a Beverly Hills auction May 28-30. Several other auctions involving state coins are expected this summer and fall, said William T. Bodoh, the retired bankruptcy judge overseeing the liquidation.
