Beverly Hills, California - April 28, 2005 - Superior Galleries, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SPGR) today announced that it has been profiled in an article on TheStreet.com, titled "Rare Coins Offer Keys to Kingdom," by RealMoney.com contributor James Altucher, at http://www.thestreet.com/_tscs/funds/goodlife/10220235.html.

In the article, Superior Galleries' CEO, Silvano DiGenova, comments, "If you take the 12 Piece Gold Type Set, which can be thought of as an index of the 12 most popularly traded coins, and if you had put $1,000 in that 'index' in 1970 and held that basket of coins until now, your initial $1,000 would be worth $61,000 now. The same $1,000 put in the Dow Jones Industrial Average would be worth only $12,430 right now, despite the huge bull market in stocks from 1980-1999."

The article goes on to outline some of the principles of successful rare coin collecting and notes that Superior Galleries "is probably the only pure play in the space."
