Dale Bartlett
An auction date has been set for items belonging to Dale Bartlett, one of the former executives of Turner Grain, which collapsed in 2014 leaving some farmers without payment.
Bartlett filed bankruptcy last year. Arkansas Business reported in November that, to help repay debt, he’s auctioning his coin collection and three cars, including a 2007 Mercedes.
The collection includes 250 U.S. half dollars, 149 U.S. Peace dollars, 87 U.S. Morgan pieces and 35 gold pieces, according to a filing by the bankruptcy trustee, Warren Dupwe of Jonesboro. The Peace dollars, so called because the word “Peace” is on the coin’s back side, contained silver and were minted from 1921-35. The Morgan dollars also had silver in them and were minted from 1878-1904.

Auctioneer Joel M. King of Jonesboro said the auction is set for Thursday, Jan. 14 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Jonesboro. An auction of land that Bartlett has interest in is scheduled for sometime in February.
