WELCOME TO THE AUCTION

Lot # 1 (Sale Order: 1 of 832)      

Just to Reiterate from our terms and conditions: I do my best to estimate the grade/condition of the coins, but please note, unless specifically mentioned in the descrip...moretion, I do not guarantee grade or condition. I DO ALWAYS GUARANTEE 100% AUTHENTICITY, on an immediate buyback including any premium paid. But please understand, if you win a coin and receive it and send it out to one of the grading companies and it comes back graded less than I estimated or "genuine but Ungradeable", we will not buy back that coin. No refunds will be issued. Please understand this and look at the large pictures and make your own decision on the grade/condition. I do my best to give you my best estimate and your repeat attendance at my auctions is what I strive for, so I always attempt to give my best description/estimate of the coins being auctioned.

NEW! *WatchmakerÕs Hoard* Original Covered End Coca Cola Mixed Lincoln Wheat Cent Roll 1c 50 Coins 1

Lot # 6852 (Sale Order: 9 of 832)      

NEW! *WatchmakerÕs Hoard* Original Covered End Coca Cola Mixed Lincoln Wheat Cent Roll 1c 50 Coins 1909-1958 Some BU WOW!. It has been hard to find a wheat hoard a...mores fantastic as "The McDonald's Hoard." I have found several hoards of wheats, but after opening a dozen rolls, all I saw was a bunch of junk. Based on about 4-5 offered consignments, I found that if the rolls appeared to have great dates in them, the rest of the roll was terrible.When I was in Long Island about three weeks ago, I asked the very stoic guys who had given us the exclusive on "The Long Island Hoard" if they knew of anyone who might have any large groupings of wheats. They barely replied, merely shaking their heads to indicate no. About a week had passed, and I had forgotten that I had even inquired, when I got a call from their very stern secretary advising me that ÒThey think I should call ÔThe Watchmaker.ÕÓ Long story short, "The Watchmaker" had invited me up to his very large home in Providence, Rhode Island. As I pulled up, I saw that his house was a cross between "The Addams Family" mansion and the house from HitchcockÕs "Psycho," and once again, I had that same very uncomfortable feeling that I had at the first meeting with the Long Island guys.Anyway, I made my way up the very steep stairs and rang the ancient bell. "The Watchmaker," a hunched-over, very old man, welcomed me inside. The first thing I noticed was the electrical system in the house was the old style, knob and tube, where you pressed little buttons. I was both fascinated and a little creeped out. I followed him down a long hallway past what seemed like countless rooms until finally, he led us into the dining room with a long oak table that had 9 large tubs filled with rolled coins. Just like that, this meeting was sprucing up. Inside the tubs, I found mini hoards of coins. There was a Coca-Cola batch, a NathanÕs batch, a Mills Novelty Company batch (one I had never seen), and a Gimbels and Korvettes grouping, a smaller batch of Radio Shack and TRS-80 ones, and those were just the ones I could reach at the top of the tubs. As we made small talk, he allowed me to open about a dozen rolls that I picked at random from the tubs, and each roll had me internally smiling wider and wider. After what seemed like a blink of an eye, as I was trying to mask my excitement, we finally came to an agreement on the rolls. As I thanked "The Watchmaker" and prepared to leave, he inquired, "WasnÕt I taking the pennies?" I chuckled and gestured to the huge flight of stairs and said, "Not with my balance." I explained to him that one of our runners would be by to pick them up in a day or two.I gave the boys double time to pick up "The WatchmakerÕs Hoard." You might think the tale ends there, but let me give you the epilogue. Not 20 minutes into my drive home, I got a call from none other than the Long Island guys' stern secretary. I said hello, and she quickly launched into telling me that the guys were pleased that the deal went well and that I got the consignment. I was dumbfounded how they knew so quickly. She continued todayÕs soliloquy by advising, not asking or requesting, but advising me that the guys would be paid $2 a roll on top of what I had negotiated with "The Watchmaker" as a finderÕs fee. And then she hung up.And now I am proud to present "The Watchmaker's Hoard" of wheat cents. I found lots of teens, lots of mint marks, 20Õs, 30Õs, and a few uncirculated red ones from the 40Õs and 50Õs. I found no Flying Eagles, and no Indians in the dozen I opened. Good luck, and I hope you will have many hours of fun, or buy a spare roll and keep it unopened. Get one of each; itÕs a great hoard.Best, Corey

*EXCLUSIVE* Hand Marked "Unc Peace Standard," x10 coin Covered End Roll! - Huge Vault Hoard (FC)

Lot # 6864 (Sale Order: 13 of 832)      

*EXCLUSIVE* Hand Marked "Unc Peace Standard," x10 coin Covered End Roll! - Huge Vault Hoard (FC). Up for auction is a (10 coin roll marked ÒUnc Peace StandardÓ an...mored having two covered ends and weighing 270.1g), one roll amongst the 2700+ roll hoard which after seeing it can only be described as the Long Island Vault Hoard. Inside the vault are hundreds upon hundreds of dollar rolls. Some are 10 coin rolls some are 20, most are hand marked as to whatÕs inside and most have covered ends. We have opened about 20 of the rolls and have not found any that were mismarked. The vault at one point I believe had the rolls separated into three sections. The markings standard, premium, limited were marked on the sections. Additionally there was a small safe inside the vault marked ÒReserveÓ. But when we first the saw the hoard, the sections were empty as was the small safe. It appeared that at some point the rolls were all put into canvas bank bags, which bags were all lying on the floor of the vault. The agreement with for the Consignee is that we wire on Friday their portion of the funds for any rolls paid that week and on Mondays we will send our runner up to Long Island to retrieve the rolls for shipment that week from our offices as well as photographing the rolls for the next weeks auction. We hope you enjoy these rolls as much as we have bringing them to you.
