Beverly Hills, California - (Business Wire) - November 16, 2005 - Superior Galleries, Inc. ("Superior") (OTC Bulletin Board: SPGR) announced today that the #1 Professional Coin Grading Service Registry Set of $4 gold "Stellas" will be on display at its bourse table at the November 17th through 20th Santa Clara Coin, Stamp & Collectibles Expo. This set is part of the 10 coin Superior Galleries Collection of "Stellas", valued at nearly $5 million. The entire set will be on display, including the two highlights of the collection, an 1879 Coiled Hair variety certified by the PCGS as a Proof 66 Cameo and an 1880 Coiled Hair variety graded as Proof 64 Cameo. Only 12 examples of the 1879 Coiled Hair "Stella" and only 8 to 10 of the 1880 Coiled Hair "Stella" are known exist. These coins are worth in excess of $1 million each.

Said Superior Galleries Vice President of Numismatics Paul Simonetti: "I have worked closely with my client to assemble one of the finest and largest collections of gold "Stellas" in the world. These coins are considered by many collectors to be the pinnacle of numismatics. They have everything going for them. They were minted in very small quantities, the designs are beautiful, and they have a terrific "story" behind them, which has resulted in a sort of legendary status for the "Stella" among buyers seeking the very finest rare coins. My client is eager to buy more, but finding suitable examples is becoming increasingly difficult in today's strong rare coin market."

Collectors wishing to view the Superior Galleries Collection of gold "Stellas" are encouraged to visit the Superior Galleries of Beverly Hills bourse table at the Santa Clara Coin Expo Thursday November 17th through Sunday November 20th.

Superior is also the official auctioneer of the Santa Clara Coin Expo and will be holding its Elite Auction on November 17th and 18th.
