Rare RED Level MARSHALL FIELDS Unc Morgan $1 Roll 20

Lot # 11640 (Sale Order: 152 of 1111)      

Rare RED Level MARSHALL FIELDS Unc Morgan $1 Roll 20. Up For Auction is a 182- Rare RED Level MARSHALL FIELDS Unc Morgan $1 Roll 20 Roll Weighing 537.4 g Based O...moren this weight this is a UNC Roll We are very excited to present over 1,500 Silver Dollar Rolls from what we are calling “The Department Store Hoard”. Inside this hoard was a huge estate of hundreds of silver dollar rolls. The sheer size of it was unprecedented. Throughout the early-mid 1900’s the collector of the estate acquired hundreds of coin rolls of all different types. His family tells us that he was at one point a buyer for Macys and then a suit wholesaler to various department stores. While in these stores he would often pick up “investment rolls” at a lower price than they were offering the public. In his collection, we found original numismatic advertisements, catalogs, newspapers, and magazines from a wide array of places used to order these rolls and various other coins in his collection.There were 10-15 different types of roll’s in this collection. However, the vast majority were stamped “Gimbels, Marshall Field, and Sears”. Among this collection are 10 and 20 coin rolls. Most of the covered end rolls are marked “Morgan, Peace, and Mixed”. The Marshall Field rolls differentiate themselves based on the color printing on the outer edge of the roll. We found rolls in red, blue, green, and a few in the illustrious black. One of the ends of the roll is stamped “Morgan” or “Peace” designating what type is found inside. With Marshall Field being a high end department store (comparable to Neimen Marcus or Bloomingdales today), it was no surprise that these rolls are the nicest rolls any of us have come across in any of our careers. The find of a lifetime. We have spent months going through this collection and identifying everything. We have opened several rolls of every type and did not find any that were miss marked. Based on all of our findings and what we have found when we opened various rolls, we have estimated the values of what we believe each variation tends to have.There were a lot of rolls in this hoard and the different kinds are quite confusing, Corey has made a PDF explaining each variety and what he has found in a bit more depth. If you are interested in a copy, send us an email at jordan@kdcauction.com and we’ll send one right over.The agreement with 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 New York to retrieve the rolls for shipment that week from our offices as well as photographing the rolls for the next week's auction. We hope you enjoy these rolls as much as we have bringing them to you.

1909-s Gold Indian Half Eagle $5 ms63+ USCG

Lot # 11645 (Sale Order: 156 of 1111)      

1909-s Gold Indian Half Eagle $5 ms63+ USCG. Per David Akers of PCGS "The 1909-S is one of the four or five rarest issues of the series. Among San Francisco Mint i...moressues it is virtually on par with the 1915-S and is far more rare than the lower mintage 1908-S. Mint State examples at any level are rare and in high Mint State grades, i.e. MS-64 or better, there are probably fewer than 20 specimens in all. The two best I have seen are the Brand and Norweb specimens, both better than MS-65 and undoubtedly obtained directly from the Mint at the time of issue. The Brand coin is now owned by Dr. Steven Duckor, the Norweb specimen by Dr. Thaine Price. Kruthoffer's specimen was also a gem and I have handled at least three others of that quality.The 1909-S is almost always sharply struck and the mintmark is bold and well defined. (On at least one specimen-Norweb-the mintmark is widely double punched.) Nearly all Mint State examples are frosty but I have seen a few of the satiny variety. Lustre is generally very good to excellent and, overall, a nice 1909-S looks very much like a nice 1908-S or 1910-S. Most specimens have a rich coppery gold color although some are light to medium yellow gold. " A Key Date's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation

1927-p Near Top Pop Peace Dollar $1 ms65+ SEGS. The 27-p is the big sleeper of numismatics in my opinion. It has the 2nd lowest mintage in the whole Peace dollar series...more. Lower than the 34-s, the 21-p, yet it does not command its proper value. Good coin to own multiple of and save, in my opinion, but if you've been coming to our auctions for a while you will have seen that this has always been my opinion.

1922 $10 Large Size Gold Certificate Grades Select AU Signatures Speelman/White

Lot # 11658 (Sale Order: 165 of 1111)      

1922 $10 Large Size Gold Certificate Grades Select AU Signatures Speelman/White. FR-1173 It is hard to believe that large size ten dollar gold certificates were only iss...moreued in 1907 and 1922. The United States first printed gold certificates in the early 1860s. For some reason they never printed the ten dollar denomination until 1907. 1922 was the last year of the large size gold Certificate Currnecy. In 1928 paper money was changed to the size we are accustomed to seeing today. The portrait of Alexander Hamilton was used instead of the virtually unknown Michael Hillegas. Hillegas was the first treasurer of The United States. Perhaps if Hillegas had died in a duel then he would be better remembered today. All 1922 $10 gold certificates were signed by Speelman and White. Interestingly enough, there is a small variety for the series. Some notes have smaller serial numbers than the standard numbers. The small serial number notes do command a slight premium, especially in higher grades.

1914-d Gold Indian Quarter Eagle $2 1/2 ms65+ SEGS

Lot # 11659 (Sale Order: 166 of 1111)      

1914-d Gold Indian Quarter Eagle $2 1/2 ms65+ SEGS. Per David Akers Of PCGS "he 1914-D is the third rarest issue of the series but there is more of a difference in...more rarity between it and the two dates ahead of it (1911-D and 1914) than there is between it and the five or six dates that follow it. Low grade Mint State specimens are not hard to find, but the population really drops off quickly after MS-63. I have seen a number of MS-65 pieces but I cannot recall ever seeing a superb MS-67 specimen, although a few have been reported by other specialists in the series. This issue is very underrated in top grade, and I dare say that even most experts have failed to recognize how difficult to find this issue is in MS-65 or better condition.Not as well struck as the 1914; often softly struck on the eagle's leg and wing and the feathers on the headdress. Less gtranular than the 1911-D or the early Philadelphia Mint issues and generally with very good to excellent lustre. The color is typically a coppery gold but medium yellow gold specimens with a touch of green also exist. The mintmark is usually fairly sharp and clearly defined, much bolder than on most examples of the 1911-D or 1925-D. Some specimens are weak at the borders, again probably the result of buckled dies. Overall, the quality of manufacture of this issue was not to a very high standard, possibly the worst in the series. "

1915-s Gold Indian Half Eagle $5 ms63 USCG

Lot # 11669 (Sale Order: 174 of 1111)      

1915-s Gold Indian Half Eagle $5 ms63 USCG. This handsome and inviting example would serve with distinction in an advanced Indian half eagle set. Lustrous surfaces...more exhibit vivid orange-gold patina to a satiny mint finish. Boldly defined by the standards of this challenging issue.One of the last half eagles struck at San Francisco, the 1915-S half eagle was struck in modest numbers to the tune of 164,000 coins. However, this is one of the most challenging issues in the entire Indian half eagle series even in circulated condition. The issue was released into circulation in the West which was in the midst of an economic renaissance boosted by that year's Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Few coins were saved for numismatic purposes and by the time the winds of war started to blow across the Atlantic after the sinking of the Lusitania, it was too late to obtain particularly nice examples from circulation. Many found their way to the Treasury in the 1920s and eventually into the melting pot. Often said to be one of if not the most difficult of all the Indian half eagles to find Choice, most uncirculated specimens are found only at the very lowest of the Mint State degrees of preservation and usually significantly bagmarked. Premium quality Choice Mint State examples provoke much interest from twentieth-century gold specialists and here is no exception. Worthy of a strong bid.

Lot # 11670 (Sale Order: 175 of 1111)      

1891 $1 Treasury Note Edwin M Stanton Grades Select AU Signatures Tillman/Morgan. Signatures of Tillman and Morgan. Treasury notes were only printed in 1890 and 1891. ...moreSome notes in the 1860s did say “treasury note” on them. However, those are not true treasury notes. These are also sometimes called 1891 $1 coin notes. 1890 and 1891 $1 treasury notes look very similar at first glance. However, there are differences in the seal type and color. The 1890 $1 treasury note also has a very dark green back. The back of the 1891 $1 specimen has a lot more white space. Like many large size currency notes from the late 1800s, the series of 1891 $1 treasury note has taken on a nickname based on the person featured on it. Many collectors simply call this a “Stanton” note. Edwin M Stanton is the bearded man on the left hand side of the bill. The biggest misconception about 1891 $1 bills is that they are star notes. Yes, every serial number does end with a solid red star. However, that does not signify that they are star replacement notes. The Bruce Roberts signature combination was only used in 1898; that is the least year that 1891 $1 bills were printed. Replacement star notes were not incorporated until 1910. Replacement stars are also hollow, not solid. So the star at the end of your serial number does not add any value. They are all like that. The star is just a design element.
