XF and AU coins are very rare, and Mint State examples are extremely difficult to locate. This Choice AU piece displays orange-gold surfaces and luster in the protected areas. Distributed small marks are visible on each side, but are in concert with a gold coin having seen some circulation. Only 3780 pieces were ever minted, and less than 75 examples survive today. Some experts estimate that number at closer to 60. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin

HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT - If your a Seated Dime Collector you understand the importance ...moreof this lot, Up for auction is an uncirculated 1844-p Seated Liberty Dime! Less than 20 known examples survive in mint state. Proponents of originality and vivid toning are sure to appreciate this beautiful choice uncirculated example. Both sides are layered in a blend of rich cobalt blue, deep rose and golden-gray patina through which near proof like fields show their reflectivity. A needle sharp strike and silky smooth surfaces further enhance the appeal of this impressive key date Liberty Seated dime. This is one of the key dates to the Liberty Seated dime series, with a tiny mintage of just 72,500 pieces. Survivors are few and far between, especially in higher grades. At this lofty Gem Mint State grade level, only a few are known, and this is clearly one of the finest to exist. Furthermore, the toning is exquisite for its depth and colorful hues which invite study of this incredible rarity.

*HIGHLIGHT OF ENTIRE AUCTION* NGC 1936 Gettysburg TIED FINEST KNOWN Old Commem 50c ms68 BY NGC (fc)

Lot # 744 (Sale Order: 503 of 608)      

***Auction Highlight*** NGC 1936 Gettysburg TIED FINEST KNOWN Old Commem Half Dollar 50c Graded ms68 BY NGC. HIGHLIGHT OF THE ENTIRE AUCTION - TIED for FINEST KNOW...moreN, Gettysburg, 1936, NGC ms68. North and South, Blue and Gray, the War Between the States ... the Civil War. Whatever the name, there is little doubt that those four years of bloodshed irrevocably changed the nation. Commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, the pivotal battle of the war, seems worthy of a coin. The authorization came in 1936, however, and in keeping with the attitudes of distributors at the time, various attempts to wring more money from collectors soon followed. Even before the bill authorizing the coins had become law, the Pennsylvania State Commission, promoters of the issue, had pressed for a three-way split between the Mints, though this effort failed. In addition, the commission's desire to get funds as quickly as possible led to a bizarre situation: The coins were dated 1936 (as required by the legislation) and struck in 1937, even though the event would not take place until 1938. Even with their rush to put the coins on the market as quickly as possible, the commission missed the market peak in 1936, and the subsequent slide in prices made collectors wary of new issues. Of the 50,028 pieces struck, 23,100 of them were sent to the melting pot.Unlike many of the classic commemorative issues, the Gettysburg coins meet high standards of quality, and like most examples, this piece has strong, slightly frosty luster. The surface preservation, on the other hand, is distinctly finer, with none of the usual ticks or abrasions visible anywhere on the coin. Each side has stunning toning; splashes of gold, peach, and red against silver-gray. A gorgeous, simply outstanding representative, tied for the finest known. A Corey'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

***Auction Highlight*** 1879-o Morgan Dollar $1 Graded ms66 By SEGS (fc)

Lot # 746 (Sale Order: 505 of 608)      

***Auction Highlight*** 1879-o Morgan Dollar $1 Graded ms66 By SEGS. A brilliant and beautiful example with bountiful mint luster and bold to sharp striking detail...more. Production of the 1879-O marked the reopening of the New Orleans Mint following the Civil War. With a mintage of 2,887,000 examples, this issue is readily available overall thanks to the storage and eventual release of thousands of Mint State coins. According to Q. David Bowers in his 1993 silver dollar encyclopedia, the largest releases came in 1957 (five to ten bags) and during the early 1960s (multiple 1,000-coin bags). As with many Morgan dollars, the 1879-O is rare in the finest Mint State grades, which for this issue means MS-66 and higher. One of the most impressive examples of this New Orleans Mint Morgan dollar that we have offered in recent sales, this coin is sure to appeal to discerning bidders.

***Auction Highlight*** 1892-s Morgan Dollar $1 Graded au58 details By SEGS (fc)

Lot # 753 (Sale Order: 512 of 608)      

***Auction Highlight*** 1892-s Morgan Dollar $1 Graded au58 details By SEGS. The 1892-S Morgan dollar is plentiful enough in lower circulated grades from a mintage...more of 1.2 million coins. However, those pieces that grade AU or Mint State are elusive, and demand for such pieces is at a high level. There were no quantities of this issue that appeared in the early 1960s U.S. Treasury dispersal. Afterward, demand for high-grade circulated examples escalated. This impressive near-Mint example would feel right at home in a Mint State collection of Morgan dollars, while saving the collector significant funds to be used for other components of the collection. Both sides are nicely toned, the obverse has great luster commensurate with the grade, but the reverse has less luster than appropriate for the grade, which is the root of the details grade. All in all, a great strike and eye appeal for the grade.

***Auction Highlight*** PCGS 1882 Large Size $20 Gold Certificate Fr-1178 Lyons/Roberts Graded vf25

Lot # 755 (Sale Order: 514 of 608)      

***Auction Highlight*** PCGS 1882 Large Size $20 Gold Certificate Fr-1178 Lyons/Roberts Graded vf25 By PCGS. This 1882 $20 Gold Certificate, an incredible conditio...moren rarity.This design ranks #95 in 100 Greatest American Currency Notes by Q. David Bowers and David M. Sundman. The face depicts the recently martyred (1881) President James Garfield, while the back shows an eagle clutching a lightning bolt, with two cable-laying ships in the distance, titled Ocean Telegraph, engraved by George D. Baldwin. A portrait of Garfield also appears on the $5 National Bank Notes of 1882; a close copy mirror-imaged. The inscription "GOLD COIN" is in the "shingle"-style lettering layout. Gold coins, absent from commerce since the waning days of December 1861, achieved parity with Legal Tender and other paper on December 17, 1878. The Atlantic telegraph, as it was best known, was completed in the summer of 1858 amidst great celebrations on both sides of the Atlantic. In New York City a grand display was held in the streets and within the Crystal Palace. Conceived by Cyrus W. Field, the connection made possible fast communications between Europe and America, with great implications for news and financial information. The transmission was not instantaneous, however. A message of 99 words from Queen Victoria to President Andrew Johnson took 67 minutes to transmit. This was deemed satisfactory, far eclipsing the sending of news by steamship. There was trouble, signals were often interrupted or incomplete, and the last clear message was received on September 1. Soon afterward, the project was abandoned. Not until after the Civil War was an effective connection made. In 1866 the S.S. Great Eastern laid new cable and repaired some cable laid in 1865, achieving the success that is honored on this note design. The print run of F-1178 (W-2220) was 16,344,000. PMG estimate that about 525 to 550 survive in All Grades

***Auction Highlight*** 1893-cc Morgan Dollar $1 Graded ms64 PL By SEGS (fc)

Lot # 757 (Sale Order: 515 of 608)      

***Auction Highlight*** 1893-cc Morgan Dollar $1 Graded ms64 PL By SEGS. The 1893-CC dollar is a popular, desirable issue owing to it being the last of the Carson ...moreCity dollars. Fortunately for collectors, NGC/PCGS population reports indicate a large supply through the Select level. Proof like examples are very elusive, however, especially in MS63 and finer.The devices on this near-Gem Proof like offering yield a degree of contrast with the fields over both sides. The design motifs are typically struck in that the centers are soft. Nearly untoned save for an occasional wisp of gold color. Some scattered marks and grazes are far fewer and much less severe than typically found on the issue. Indeed, this date is nearly unobtainable above MS63 because most survivors exhibit excessive marks. A Corey'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

***Auction Highlight*** 1923-p TOP POP Saint-Gaudens $20 Gold Double Eagle Graded ms66 By SEGS (fc)

Lot # 758 (Sale Order: 516 of 608)      

***Auction Highlight*** 1923-p TOP POP Saint-Gaudens $20 Gold Double Eagle Graded ms66 By SEGS. While many 1923 double eagles avoided mass melting in the 1930s, th...moree issue is scarcer than other non-melt Saint-Gaudens twenties in the 1922 to 1928 date range. It is also a notable condition rarity -- scarce in Gem condition, and rare any finer. In lesser grades, the 1923 is considered plentiful and generally follows the market for generic issues.This Premium Gem example is anything but plentiful, and it is of the utmost importance to Saint-Gaudens specialists. Tied for the Finest known at ms66 with none finer known. Silk-smooth surfaces display vibrant orange-gold color, and a needle-sharp strike everywhere except the lower-left border (which has the typical slight softness characteristic of the Philadelphia issue). There are simply no marks of significance, and the eye appeal is extraordinary. At the MS66 grade level, the 1923 is nearly unobtainable -- we encourage advanced double eagle collectors to take note and bid accordingly.

***Auction Highlight*** 1884-s Morgan Dollar $1 Graded ms62+ By SEGS (fc)

Lot # 761 (Sale Order: 519 of 608)      

***Auction Highlight*** 1884-s Morgan Dollar $1 Graded ms62+ By SEGS. The 1884-S Morgan dollar has a certain "mystique," as Wayne Miller put it in The Morgan and P...moreeace Dollar Textbook. The date was once considered to be a rarity in Mint State, but since the dawn of third party grading numerous Mint State coins have emerged onto the market. Most of these are low-grade pieces, and the 1884-S remains scarce in attractive Uncirculated condition. Such pieces are so difficult to acquire that most collectors opt for a pick out of the plethora of AU coins that continually flood the market.The scarcity of the 1884-S in high grade is due to the fact that most of the 3.2 million pieces struck were released into circulation during the 19th century. It is believed that additional coins may have been among those melted a couple of decades later under the terms of the Pittman Act of 1918. In A Guide Book of Morgan Silver Dollars, fifth edition, Q. David Bowers notes that a few bags of this issue were paid out from the 1920s into the 1950s, but these again were unnoticed by numismatists and largely went into circulation, or, as Bowers suggests, possibly casinos. Whatever the fate of most 1884-S dollars, the inherent fact of its modern availability is that collectors wanting a coin graded finer than MS61 will encounter a challenge, and only a handful of fortunate specialists will be able to acquire a coin in MS62 or finer. This piece displays impressively sharp definition and brilliant, satiny luster. Slight reflectivity is seen in the fields when angled beneath a light. Those fields -- particularly on the all-important obverse -- are largely unabraded, and were it not for a few stray marks, this piece might have been considered for ms63 classification.

***Auction Highlight*** 1934-s Vam 3 Top 50 I3 R4 Peace Dollar $1 Graded Select+ Unc By USCG (fc)

Lot # 762 (Sale Order: 520 of 608)      

***Auction Highlight*** 1934-s Vam 3 Top 50 I3 R4 Peace Dollar $1 Graded Select+ Unc By USCG. This example presents outstanding Select Mint State quality for this ...morekey date Peace dollar issue. It is highly lustrous with a softly frosted finish. The strike is above average for a San Francisco dollar of this type, with the overall detail bold and the centers showing plenty of emerging definition.Although it did not have the lowest mintage in its series, the 1934-S has long been recognized as the rarest Peace dollar in terms of total number of Mint State coins extant. Writing in his 1993 reference Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia, Q. David Bowers speculates that many of the 1,011,000 coins minted went into circulation as early as the mid to late 1930s, most being paid out for face value from the San Francisco Mint or West Coast banks. Dealers and other numismatists active in the market of the 1940s paid little attention to the 1934-S, falsely believing that thousands of Mint State coins were still safely tucked away in vaults at the San Francisco Mint. When such pieces failed to emerge during the 1950s or early to mid 1960s, the key date status of the 1934-S in Uncirculated preservation was solidified.

*HIGHLIGHT OF NIGHT** 1800 BB-192 B-19 'AMERICAI" Draped Bust Dollar $1 Graded xf By USCG (fc)

Lot # 763 (Sale Order: 521 of 608)      

***Auction Highlight*** 1800 BB-192 B-19 'AMERICAI" Draped Bust Dollar $1 Graded xf By USCG. HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT - Up for Auction is a coin we have never brough...moret to auction, The Ultra Rare AMERICAI variety of the 1800 Draped Bust Dollar, specifically BB-192. Lovely toned surfaces and strong definition for the grade are displayed on this popular Guide Book variety. Lightly toned in dominant silver gray, both sides also exhibit intermingled pale apricot highlights that are boldest when the coin is admired at direct viewing angles. And there is certainly much to admire here, including overall sharp striking detail, and pleasingly smooth surfaces. One of the most popular varieties in the Draped Bust series, the bold, naked eye diagnostic of the 1800 AMERICAI gives it popularity that goes beyond early dollar specialists to include many generalized collectors. The feature on the reverse that looks like an extra letter I after the word AMERICA is actually a stray line imparted to the die either by a device punch or a stray piece of metal. This reverse was used in both the BB-191 and BB-192 die marriages. Most will have to settle for lower grade pieces through VF, however, for BB-192 is scarce in XF.

But people still needed to purchase a 3¢ loaf of bread, a 1¢ newspaper, a 5¢ quart of milk and countless other goods that required coins. And vendors had to make change when an item’s price was less than a nickel, a dime or a quarter. In some cities, businesses gave customers I.O.Us, private companies created “Civil War tokens” and paper money was cut into several pieces to represent a fraction of a dollar. Clever remedies for sure, but none that were widely used or accepted. All of this radically changed on July 17, 1862, when Congress decided to address the coinage shortage and passed a law that allowed postage stamps to satisfy debts of less than $5. People began to carry stamps in their purses and pockets and used them repeatedly for daily purchases. Vendors gladly accepted the stamps as payment. But all of this hand-to-hand usage quickly resulted in damaged stamps with denominations sometimes unrecognizable. The local post offices would not exchange damaged stamps for new ones, so a remedy was needed. John Gault, a New York entrepreneur, decided he had the best solution. On August 12, 1862, Gault obtained a patent for a “postage stamp case”, or as he named the item in a newspaper advertisement, the “New Metallic Currency. Gault didn’t sell the encased stamps to the public. Instead, he sold them to stores and businesses that needed “coinage” to make change for customers’ purchases. Gault’s profit came from the 20% markup over the face value of the stamp. To increase his potential profit, Gault’s second idea was to inscribe advertising on the back of the encased stamp. He would charge companies who purchased the metallic currency an additional 2¢ for each item. Encased stamps were widely accepted in the general commerce realm until later in 1862 when the government issued “fractional currency”. This legitimate, government-sanctioned currency quickly eliminated the coin shortage. Having no other value than the stamp, people tore apart the encasements of their metallic currency to remove the stamp to use as postage. Thus the scarcity of the 1862 encased stamps today. The Example being offered today is EP90,Gage Tremont House Chicago, 5c Jefferson Stamp. The case is a very rare advertiser, and the case is in bright attractive condition. The stamp is slightly faded, and unfortunately the mica is not present. Leaving this at VF30, where normally with a case like this it would be closer to AU.
