Batjer, C. J.,
concurring:
I concur in the result for a reason different than that *499announced by the majority. I believe the order entered by the district court on November 4, 1975, was null and void ab initio and that the order dated January 14, 1976, was the only valid order entered.
The only estate property which may be sold without notice with or without an order of the court is perishable property or other property which will depreciate in value if not disposed of promptly or which will incur loss or expenses by being kept. NRS 148.170. There is no evidence in this record to show that the silver dollars were incurring loss or expense in being kept, were depreciating in value or were perishable. The district court’s finding and “belief” that a public sale would depress the coin market and significantly reduce the sale price of the collection were not valid reasons within the statutory scheme to support a private sale without notice. The order confirming the sale of the coin collection to appellant for $7,300,000 should be affirmed.
