WHAT IS THE BOSTON COLLECTION?

The Boston Collection was put together by a gentleman in Boston, Massachusetts. 

He is a retired physician who spent his career working in a hospital over the last 35 years.  His only passion besides medicine was coins. 

He thought of it as his “calm” after the long hours at the hospital.  He attended coin shows once a month on Sunday’s for most of his adult life.  He diligently collected this collection for over 30 years.  Constantly improving his collection, insisting that it was only a premium collection by changing and swapping out coins to improve on them until it was truly a collection to behold.

1886 $10 Red Seal Silver Certificate "Tombstone" FR-292 Grades vf, very fine Signatures Rosecrans/H

Lot # 11990 (Sale Order: 426 of 1111)      

1886 $10 Red Seal Silver Certificate "Tombstone" FR-292 Grades vf, very fine Signatures Rosecrans/Hyatt. FR-292 Listed as #85 in 100 Greatest American Currency NotesPoo...morer Thomas Hendricks. The man served as Grover Cleveland’s vice president for only a few months, from March 4, 1885 to November 25, 1885, before dying of natural causes in his sleep. Less than a year later, a $10 Silver certificate was issued that featured his portrait. And, in what may NOT have been an accident, the artists at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing framed him in what appeared to be a tombstone. Besides prompting some initial claims of poor taste by a grieving public, the design also led to these certificates being nicknamed “Tombstone Notes” – a moniker that was destined to forever overshadow the former Vice President depicted on its surface.As it turns out, this story isn’t just sad, but spooky as well, since the design and even production of this certificate began before Hendricks passed away! First issued in 1886, the design was issued again in 1891 and 1908. Hendricks remains the only vice president who did not serve as president whose portrait appears on U.S. paper currency. The intriguing history behind this note has led it to being listed as #85 in Q. David Bowers’ book 100 Greatest American Currency Notes.Here’s your chance to make the famous $10 “Tombstone Note” part of your collection with this scarce note Thomas A. Hendricks (1819-1885) was a popular politician from Indiana who served in both the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. He was also Indiana’s 16th Governor before being elected as the nation’s 21st vice president. Unknown to most people, however, was the popular Democrat’s poor health. Hendricks suffered a paralytic stroke in 1880, and while he was able to return to public life, he could no longer stand for any length of time. No one outside his family knew of his health issues and with his popularity unblemished, Hendricks ran as Grover Cleveland’s running mate in the 1884 Presidential election. Serving less than a year as vice president, Hendricks died unexpectedly during a trip home to Indianapolis. The vice presidency remained vacant after his death until Levi P. Morton assumed office in 1889 following the election of Benjamin Harrison as the nation’s 23rd President.Share the story of this eerily prophetic piece of numismatic history and secure yours today!

1928 $10 Gold Certificate Signatures Woods/Mellon Grades xf

Lot # 11994 (Sale Order: 429 of 1111)      

1928 $10 Gold Certificate Signatures Woods/Mellon Grades xf. FR-2400 Alexander Hamilton is the central subject of this scarce $10 gold note, issued because of a change i...moren the size of United States currency beginning with all series dated 1928. This change in the size of America’s currency came about from a study that had determined that printing smaller currency would save the government a hefty amount of money in production cost. Because of the nature of gold certificates – each one accompanied the deposit of gold coins – they are somewhat scarce to begin with, as gold is far more scarce than silver. Add to that the decision to drop the gold standard by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933, thus making owning gold coin (or notes promising gold coin) illegal, and you end up with a series of notes that was printed, then recalled less than six years after their initial issue. Many of the notes were destroyed when turned in, and few of them survived. Fortunately for collectors, the restriction for owning gold certificates as collectibles was repealed by Treasury Secretary C. Douglas Dillon in 1964, but the damage had been done to the stockpiles of said notes. Not many remain of the millions that had originally been issued prior to the depression.

1929-p Gold Indian Quarter Eagle $2 1/2 ms65+ SEGS

Lot # 11995 (Sale Order: 430 of 1111)      

1929-p Gold Indian Quarter Eagle $2 1/2 ms65+ SEGS. Per David Akers Of PCGS "This is an unusual issue in that it is easy to find in MS-63 or lower condition but su...morerprisingly difficult to locate in MS-64 or better grade. Gems are rare without a doubt, considerably more so than any of the other late issues. Why this is so I really have no idea but I can state that I have not seen all that many 1929 quarter eagles that would grade a full MS-65 by today's stringent standards. A few superb, nearly perfect pieces are known but in MS-67 condition, the 1929 is clearly a major rarity.The strike on a typical 1929 is very good although some specimens are not quite as sharp as the several issues immediately preceding this one. Many examples also show obvious signs of die buckling at the borders. Lustre is nearly always very good to excellent and the color is most often a rich yellow gold with a greenish tint. "

20 SEARS Circ Morgan Dollar $1 Roll Silver 1894/'P' Rev Ends

Lot # 12000 (Sale Order: 433 of 1111)      

20 SEARS Circ Morgan Dollar $1 Roll Silver 1894/'P' Rev Ends. Up For Auction is a 64- 20 SEARS Circ Morgan Dollar $1 Roll Silver 1894/'P' Rev Ends Roll Weighing ...more527.9 g Based On this weight this is a Circ 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. The Sears rolls have a special place in Corey’s heart as he fondly recalls his father taking him to the Sears in Long Island to buy coins. The sears rolls all have open ends. From what we have found there were both Morgan and Peace Rolls, some being mixed. The mixed rolls have an “M” stamped on the wrapper. We photographed one roll from each type of end that we found that best represented each date. The roll you will receive is comparable or better then the one in the photo. We did this to be able to get you these rolls to you every week or (until they run out). 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.

1922 Grant w/Star Gold Commem Dollar 1 ms67 SEGS

Lot # 12002 (Sale Order: 435 of 1111)      

1922 Grant w/Star Gold Commem Dollar 1 ms67 SEGS. In 1921, the Ulysses S. Grant Centenary Memorial Association was established to raise funds to coordinate a serie...mores of special events and observances in commemoration of the centennial of the famed Union general and United States president. The Association planned to fund the creation of monuments, civic buildings and roads to honor Grant as well as celebratory activities through the sales of commemorative silver half dollars and gold dollars. Approved by Congress in February 1922, Laura Gardin Fraser was tapped to design the coin. Wife of the designer of the Buffalo nickel, James Earle Fraser, she was no stranger to commemorative coins, having designed the 1921 Alabama half dollar. The Grant design, shared across both denominations, bore a bust of Grant on the obverse and a representation of his childhood home surrounded in trees in Ohio on the reverse. The Association adopted an idea that was employed on the Alabama and Missouri commemorative half dollars, the placement of a special mark on a select number of the coin to help generate interest, and by extension increase sales. Here, the mark was a small star placed above Grant's name on the obverse. Originally intended to just be used on the gold dollar, a small number of half dollars were also struck with the star. The gold dollar was a success and the total authorized mintage of 10,000 coins - 5,000 of each with and without the star - were all sold out at the retail price of $3. Despite the revenue generated, none of the planned monuments were built, though the festivities did go on as planned.
