All bids must be received 6 business hours prior to the Auction Session. Your Absentee Bid Form should contain bids for one sale only; the sale name and sale number should appear at the top. Please place your bids as early as possible. In the event of identical bids, the earliest bid received will take precedence. Bidders MUST read through our Terms and Conditions before submitting bids. These terms contain important information regarding our guarantees, billing, shipping, and return policies.

Absentee Bids

Limit Bidders

Internet Bidding

If you are unable to attend the auction in person, and wish to place bids, you may give Ira & Larry Goldberg’s bid department instructions to bid on your behalf. Our representatives will try to purchase the lot for the lowest price possible, and will not purchase the lot for more than you indicate. This service is free and confidential. Note: Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles offers this service as a convenience to clients who are unable to attend the sale in person, and although we will make every effort, we will not be responsible for error or failure to execute bids.

If you have a “limit” that you must stay within you must clearly notate this limit on your bid sheet. We will buy your lots as inexpensively as possible but will not exceed your “limit”.

Bid live through our website or other ThirdParty Bidding Websites listed on our home page (varies by sale, additional terms & conditions and premiums apply). Go to our website for instructions. You must be registered with our firm to be able to participate in the internet bidding process. This service is free and confidential. Please note that Internet Bids are executed LIVE on the floor. Goldberg is not responsible for any missed lots due to network speed or down-time.

Placing Absentee bids To place bids, please use the Absentee Bidder Form provided in this catalog. Be sure to accurately put the lot number and the maximum price you are willing to pay on each lot. Always indicate a top limit or the amount which you would bid if you were attending the auction in person. This amount should not include the buyers commission noted in chapter 16 of the “Terms and Conditions of sale”.

Mail Bids When bidding by mail, you frequently purchase lots for less than your maximum bid. On the floor of the auction, bidding will open at 5-10% above the second highest mail bid: We act on your behalf as the highest mail bidder. If the auctioneer recognizes no other bids from the floor, you will be awarded the lot at the opening bid. If bidding proceeds from the floor, the company, acting as your agent, bids in increments over the previous bid. This process is continued until you are awarded the lot or you are outbid by the floor.

“Or Bids” Alternative bids should be indicated by using the word “OR” between the lot numbers. Then if your bid on an early lot is successful, we will not continue to bid on any other lots for you. Or, if your early bids are unsuccessful, we will continue to execute bids for alternative lots until a bid is successful. Bids must always be placed in the same order as the lot numbers appear in the catalog.

Telephone Bids Bids may be placed by telephone, but are accepted only at Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles discretion and at the risk of the telephone bidder. We will not be responsible for error or failure to notify the customer in a timely manner during the auction. The telephone bidder must notify the company at least 24 hours prior to auction all lots the bidder is interested in bidding on. The telephone bidder should have a preconceived idea of the top limit that he/she would like to bid prior to auction. In some instances, the representative of the company will request this information at the time of auction. This information assists us in the bidding process by giving us a range to stay active in the bidding. We will not notify the auctioneer of your limit and will buy your lot at the lowest price possible.

Buyer’s Premium The “top limit” you indicate on your bid form is for the hammer price only. Please keep in mind that a buyer’s premium will be added to the successful bid price of each lot you buy and is payable by you, together with the applicable sales tax and shipping charges which is applied to the total cost of your purchase (the total cost includes the buyer’s premium).

Successful Bids Successful bidders will be notified and invoiced within a few days of the sale. Prices realized are posted on our website immediately following each session, and are subject to change until the completion of the sale.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE These Terms and Conditions of Sale set forth the terms of a public auction sale conducted in Beverly Hills, California by Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc., a Nevada corporation, California Auction Bond No. 3S95453300 (hereinafter, the “Auctioneer” or “Goldberg”). The Terms and Conditions of sale, the glossary, if any, and all other contents of this catalog are subject to amendment by us by the posting of notices or by oral announcements made during the sale. By participating in any sale, you acknowledge that you are bound by these terms and conditions. 1 This catalog contains the description of property of multiple consignors (the “Consignors”), and may include consignments from Goldberg, its principals, and affiliated or related companies and their employees, officers, or principals. All persons seeking to bid, whether in person, through an agent or employee, or by telephone, facsimile or mail, must have a catalogue and register to bid at the auction, either by completing a registration card or by completing the bid sheet incorporated into the catalogue. The Purchaser acknowledges that an invoice describing a lot by number incorporates the catalogue by reference. 2 By submitting a bid, whether in person, by mail, by phone, by facsimile or through an employee or agent, the Bidder acknowledges (i) receipt of the catalogue, (ii) that the Bidder has read the Terms and Conditions of Sale and the descriptions for the lots on which they have bid, and (iii) that they agree to adhere to these Terms and Conditions of Sale. Acceptance of Bids: Anyone wishing to place bids on lots who will not be attending the live auction must submit their bid(s) at least six (6) business hours prior to the auction session. Bidder is responsible for verifying said bids were received by Goldberg. 3 Each Bidder’s determination of it’s bid should be based upon its own examination of the item(s), rather than the grade represented in this Catalogue or elsewhere. In any purchase or sale, the value of the item(s) is determined by the price. THE PURCHASER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS OF VALUATION CONCERNING ANY AND ALL PURCHASES. All Floor Bidders acknowledge that the Auctioneer can decline to accept bids from the a Floor Bidder who is known to have not, in fact, examined the lot prior to the sale. 4 All material shall be sold in separate lots to the highest Bidder as determined by Auctioneer. If any dispute arises during or immediately after the sale of a lot, Auctioneer shall have the right to rescind the lot

offered and put the lot up for sale again. In all cases, Auctioneer’s decision shall be final. For the protection of any Mail Bidder, no “unlimited” or “buy” bids will be accepted. Goldberg shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to reject any such bid received. When identical bids are received for a lot, preference is given to the first bid received as determined by the Auctioneer. A mail bid will take precedence over an identical floor bid; a Floor Bidder must bid higher than the highest mail bid to be awarded any lot.

ing an acknowledgment that the Terms and Conditions of Sale herein and indicating their agreement to be bound thereby on behalf of the Bidder.

5 Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale. No lot will be broken up unless the Auctioneer determines otherwise. Lots will be sold in their numbered sequence unless Auctioneer directs otherwise.

10 Goldberg reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time, even after the hammer has fallen, until the Purchaser has taken physical possession of the lot. No Consignor who has registered to bid at the sale (or at any other time unless otherwise provided in the consignment agreement), or any Purchaser or prospective Bidder shall have a right to claim any damages, direct, consequential or otherwise, if a lot is withdrawn, even after the sale.

6 All lots may carry a reserve. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions of Sale, a reserve means a confidential price below which the Auctioneer will not sell an item or will re-purchase on behalf of the Consignor or for the account of Goldberg. 7 The Auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the seller; a Bidder by mail, telephone or facsimile; or any other participant in the sale. The Auctioneer may also bid on behalf of the Consignor up to the amount of the reserve, by (i) accepting bids from floor agents on behalf of the Consignor, or any affiliated or related company of the Auctioneer or the Consignor; (ii) by placing successive or consecutive bids for any lot; or (iii) by placing bids in response to other Bidders. 8 Auctioneer reserves the right, at his sole discretion, (i) to accept or decline any bid, (ii) to accept or decline any challenge to any bid or bidding increment, (iii) to reduce any mail bid received, (iv) to open the bidding of a lot at any level deemed appropriate by the Auctioneer, and (v) to determine the prevailing bid. Bids will not be knowingly accepted from persons under eighteen (18) years of age without a parent’s written consent contain-

9 It is unlawful and illegal for Bidders to collude, pool, or agree with another bidder to pay less than the fair value for a lot. Bidders in the sale acknowledge that the law provides for substantial penalties in the form of treble damages and attorneys’ fees and costs for those who violate these provisions.

11 GOLDBERG IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ERRORS IN BIDDING. A Bidder should make certain to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is for an amount (plus the fifteen percent (15%) Buyer’s Commission) that he or she is willing and able to pay. Since other Bidders (by mail, facsimile or other electronic media and in person) will be present, and since a re-offering could damage the momentum of the sale, once the hammer has fallen and the Auctioneer has announced the winning Bidder, such Bidder is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot, even if the Bidder has made a mistake. 12 THIS IS NOT AN APPROVAL SALE. All lots sold to the highest Bidder as determined by Auctioneer are final. Floor Bidders are encouraged to carefully examine all lots which they are interested in purchasing because all sales of items viewed by Purchasers in advance of a sale, even if the sale is by mail, telephone or facsimile, and all lots bid upon by the Floor Bidders, together with all those presenting Goldberg with a resale cer-

tificate, out of state resale certificate, or similar evidence that they are acting as a dealer ARE FINAL AND SUCH ITEMS MAY NOT BE RETURNED. If the description of any lot in the catalogue is incorrect, the lot is returnable if returned within five (5) calendar days of receipt, and received by Goldberg no later than twenty-one (21) calendar days after the sale date. No return or refund of any auction lot will be considered except by reason of lack of authenticity, unless otherwise provided in these Terms and Conditions of Sale. All lots are sold under the condition that any claims challenging grading, authenticity or methods of manufacture must be made in writing within five (5) calendar days of receipt of material. All disputed lots must be returned intact as received in their original, sealed and unopened container. Late remittance or removal of any lot from its original container constitutes just cause for revocation of all return privileges for any reason. 13 All prospective Bidders who are allowed the opportunity to examine lots prior to the sale shall personally assume all responsibility for any damage they cause in so doing. Goldberg shall have sole discretion in determining the value of the damage caused, which shall be promptly paid by the prospective Bidder. 14 Title to any lot remains with Consignor, any secured party of the Consignor, or assignee of Consignor, as the case may be, until the lot is paid for in full by Purchaser. Goldberg reserves the right to require payment in full before delivering any lot to the successful Purchaser. 15 It is the Purchaser’s responsibility and obligation to have the lots fully insured while in his or her possession. Purchaser assumes any and all RISK OF LOSS once the lot(s) is in Purchaser’s possession. 16 BUYER’S COMMISSION OF FIFTEEN PERCENT (15%) will be added to all purchases made by all Purchasers, except Consignors, regardless of Purchaser’s affiliation with any group or organization, and will be based upon the total amount of the final bid. 17 Pursuant to a separate agreement with Auctioneer, Consignors or their agents may be permitted to bid on their own lots in the sale and may receive a rebate commission in whole or in part if successful. Under some circumstances, Goldberg may agree with a Consignor (i) not to require the Consignor to pay for all or part of any items bid upon or

re-purchased by the Consignor; (ii) when or where an advance has been made, to have the Consignor pay an agreed upon difference to Goldberg; or (iii) to allow an offset against other transactions with Consignor. Where the Consignor has re-purchased a lot and the lot is either returned to the Consignor or otherwise dealt with or disposed of in accordance with the Consignor’s direction, or pursuant to contractual agreement, Goldberg reserves the right to so note in the prices realized or to omit a price from the price realized. Every Consignor who registers to bid in the sale, whether to “protect” a lot, or for any other purpose, agrees to all other Terms and Conditions of Sale per this agreement. 18 Lots must be paid for within 14 days of receipt of invoice or delivery. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, auction sales are strictly cash above $5,000.00 in U.S. Funds payable through a bank in the United States. Contact Goldberg for wiring instructions before sending a wire. Goldberg reserves the right to decline to release lots for which funds have not yet cleared. Credit card (Visa & Mastercard only) purchases will be accepted on totals not exceeding $2,500. On any cash transaction or series of transaction exceeding $10,000, Treasury Form 8300 may be filed. 19 Purchaser agrees to promptly pay, on demand, any sales tax, or any other tax, if required by law to be collected, postage, handling, and shipping insurance plus the fifteen percent (15%) Buyer’s Commission, and any other taxes required by law to be charged or collected, together with any interest or penalty that may be assessed.

20 Purchaser grants to Goldberg or its assigns the right to offset any sums due, or found to be due Purchaser by Goldberg, and to make such offset from any past, subsequent or future consignment, or items acquired by Purchaser in possession or control of Goldberg or from any sums due to Purchaser by Goldberg. Purchaser further grants Goldberg a purchase money security interest in such sums or items to the extent applicable, and agrees to execute such documents as may be reasonably necessary to grant Goldberg such security interest. Purchaser agrees that Goldberg and its assigns shall be a secured party with respect to items bought by Purchaser and in the possession of Goldberg, to the extent of the maximum indebtedness, plus all accrued expenses, until the indebtedness is paid. 21 By bidding in this sale, Purchaser personally and unconditionally guarantees

payment. If the Purchaser is a corporation, the officers, directors, and principals of the corporation hereby agree to personally and unconditionally guarantee payment as part of the corporation’s agreement to bid. The authorized representative of any corporate Purchaser who is present at the sale shall provide Goldberg or its agent, prior to the commencement of the bidding (or at the time of registration), with a statement signed by each principal, director and officer that they each personally and unconditionally guarantee any payment due Goldberg. 22 No bids will be accepted from Floor Bidders and Mail Bidders who have not previously established credit with Goldberg unless they first (i) furnish satisfactory credit references or (ii) deposit at least twenty-five percent (25%) of their total bids for that session(s), or such other amounts as Goldberg may require, in its sole and absolute discretion. Any deposits made pursuant to this paragraph will be applied to such Bidders purchases. Any unused portion of such deposit will be promptly refunded upon clearance of the funds. 23 On any accounts past due, Goldberg reserves the right to extend credit and impose periodic charges, pursuant to these Terms and Conditions of Sale or as set forth in the Purchaser’s invoice. If the auction invoice is not paid in full when due, the unpaid balance will earn interest at the rate of one-and-onehalf percent (1 1/2%) per month until paid. In the event this interest rate exceeds the interest permitted by law, the same shall be adjusted to the maximum rate permitted by law. Goldberg further reserves the right to resell the merchandise, or to have an affiliated or related company do so. Purchaser agrees to pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and other collection costs incurred by Goldberg or any affiliated or related company to collect past due invoices, including reasonable costs of any resale of the merchandise. Purchaser also agrees to pay the difference between the resale price and any previous disbursements. Money realized from the resale shall be applied as follows: (i) to pay sums due to the consignor, (ii) to pay Goldberg standard commissions and fees for the resale, (iii) to pay Goldberg any sums owed to it by purchaser, and the remainder, if any, will be paid to the Purchaser. Goldberg reserves the right to assign its interest to any third party. 24 Goldberg may at its sole and absolute discretion, make loans or advances to Consignors and/or prospective Purchasers.

25 The Auctioneer may bid for his or its own account at any auction (even though it may not be required to pay a Buyer’s Commission, or other charges that other Purchasers may be required to pay) and may have access to information concerning the lots and items contained therein that is not otherwise available to the public. Any conflict of interest or claim of competitive advantage resulting therefrom is expressly waived by all participants in the sale. 26 If a dispute arises concerning ownership of a lot that has been bid upon, Goldberg reserves the right to commence a statutory interpleader proceeding at the expense of the Consignor and successful Purchaser and any other applicable party, and in such event Goldbergs shall be entitled to its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. 27 In the event of a successful challenge to the title to any goods purchased, Goldberg agrees to reimburse any Purchaser in an amount equal to the successful bid price actually paid by Purchaser at auction plus any Buyer’s Commission actually paid, in full and complete satisfaction of all claims, such reimbursement once tendered by Goldberg, relieves and releases Goldberg from any responsibility whatsoever to the Purchaser, even if the instrument is not cashed or is returned. 28 Goldberg reserves the right to postpone the auction sale or any session thereof for a reasonable period of time for any reason whatsoever, and no Bidder or prospective Bidder shall have any claim as a result thereof, including consequential damages.

DISCLAIMERS AND WARRANTIES ALL ITEMS OFFERED IN THIS CATALOGUE ARE GUARANTEED TO BE GENUINE. THIS IS A LIMITED WARRANTY THAT THE ITEM SOLD IS NOT COUNTERFEIT, THAT ITS DATE OR MINTMARK HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED AND THAT THE COIN HAS NOT BEEN “REPAIRED.” 29 Any other warranty is expressly disclaimed; Goldberg offers no representation that a numismatic item has or has not been cleaned; that any toning is natural or artificial; that any coin will meet the standards or grade of any independent grading service; that any item has a particular provenance or pedigree, or that a numismatic item is struck or produced in a particular style. Any statement concerning

such matters reflects an opinion only. Questions regarding the minting of a coin as a proof or as a business strike relate to the method of manufacture and not to authenticity. a. The descriptions contained herein represent the Cataloger’s good faith opinion, or the opinion of an independent grading service, as to the state of preservation and strike. When a grade from an independent grading service is utilized, the information is provided strictly for the convenience of the bidder by mail, telephone or facsimile. Bidders and Purchasers acknowledge that (i) grading is an art, not a science; (ii) the grades contained in the catalogue represent the opinion of the Auctioneer based upon its experience; (iii) it is possible that two people will not always grade the same items alike; and (iv) as market conditions change, grading standards change, and will most likely continue to do so in the future. NO WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO ANY GRADE DESCRIPTION, WHICH IS MERELY AN OPINION THAT IS LIKELY TO DIFFER, EVEN AMONG EXPERTS. PURCHASER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS CONCERNING AND RELATED TO THE GRADING OF A LOT BY AN INDEPENDENT GRADING SERVICE. b. Grading or condition of rare coins may have a material effect on the value of the item(s) purchased; and the opinion of third parties (including independent grading services) may differ from the independent grading service’s opinion or interpretation of Goldberg. Goldberg shall not be bound by any prior or subsequent opinion, determination or certification by any independent grading service. c. All oral and written statements made by Goldberg and its employees (including affiliated and related companies) are statements of opinion only, and are not warranties or representations of any kind, unless stated as a specific written warranty, and no employee or agent of Goldberg has authority to vary or alter these Terms and Conditions of Sale. Any alteration shall be effective only if in writing and signed by an officer of Goldberg authorized to do so. d. Bidders shall have no recourse against the Consignor for any reason whatsoever. e.

Notwithstanding

anything

the

contrary in these Terms and Conditions of Sale, COINS LISTED IN ANY CATALOGUE GRADED BY PCGS, NGC, ICG, SEGS, ACCUGRADE, PCI, NTC OR ANACS CACHET MAY NOT BE RETURNED FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER. Please note that lack of a CAC seal does not necessarily mean that a coin was rejected. Not all coins are submitted for examination. 30 By bidding in the sale, (whether in person, by mail, telephone or facsimile, or through an agent), Bidder expressly consents to the following

Waiver and Releases Purchaser, for himself, his heirs, agents, successors and assigns, generally and specifically waives and releases, and forever discharges Goldberg, and its respective affiliates, parents, shareholders, agents, subsidiaries, employees, members of their respective boards of directors, and each of them, and their respective successors and assigns from any and all claims, rights, demands and causes of action and suites, of whatever kind or nature, whether in law or equity, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which Purchaser may claim to have with respect to and/or arising out of, or in connection with any challenge to the title to any good purchased, the sale itself and/or the auction, except for reimbursement in the amount equal to any bid actually paid by Purchaser, plus any Buyer’s Commission actually paid by Purchaser where such reimbursement is authorized in these Terms and Conditions of Sale. It is the intention of Purchaser that this waiver and release shall be effective as a bar to each and every claim, demand, cause of action and suit that may arise hereunder, and Purchaser hereby knowingly and voluntarily waives any and all rights and benefits otherwise conferred upon him by the provisions of the California Civil Code, which reads in full as follows: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” 31 Neither Goldberg nor any affiliated or related company shall be responsible for incidental or consequential damages arising out of any failure of the Terms and Conditions of

Sale of the auction or the conduct thereof and in no event shall liability for any such failure exceed the purchase price paid. 32 The sole remedy that any Purchaser in the auction shall have, whether such Purchase is bidding in person, by mail, by facsimile, by telephone, or through an employee or agent, for any claim or controversy arising out of the auction shall be a refund of the original purchase price and premium paid, if any. 33 Upon payment of any disputed sum, which in no event shall be greater than the original purchase price actually paid by Purchaser plus any commission or premium actually paid by Purchaser to Goldberg, Auctioneer and its employees shall be deemed released from any and all claims of the Bidder arising out of or in connection with the sale of such property. Purchaser agrees to execute prior to delivery of any refund, any documents reasonably requested to effect the intent of this paragraph. Should the Purchaser decline to do so, Purchaser hereby grants to Goldberg a limited power of attorney to unconditionally effect such release. 34 Rights granted to Bidders and Purchasers under these Terms and Conditions of Sale are personal and may not be assigned or transferred to any other person or entity, whether by operation of law or otherwise. Any attempt to assign or transfer any such rights shall be absolutely void and unenforceable. No third party may rely on any benefit or right conferred on any Bidder or Purchaser by these Terms and Conditions of Sale and terms of warranty. “Purchaser” shall mean the original Purchaser of the property from Goldberg and not any subsequent owner or other person who may acquire or have acquired an interest therein. If Purchaser is an agent, the agency must be disclosed in writing to Goldberg prior to the time of sale, otherwise the benefits of the warranty shall be limited to the agent and not transferable to the undisclosed principal. 35 If the Purchaser fails to comply with one or more of these Terms and Conditions of Sale, then in addition to all other remedies which it may have at law or in equity, Goldberg may at its sole option, either (a) cancel the sale, retaining all payments made by Purchaser as liquidated damages, it being recognized that actual damages may be speculative or difficult to compute, or (b) sell some or all of the property and (some or all other property of the Purchaser held by Goldberg, if Goldberg deems necessary), in a quantity sufficient in the opinion of Goldberg to satisfy the indebtedness, plus all accrued charges. More than

one such sale may take place at the option of Goldberg. Such sale may take place without notice to Purchaser. If Goldberg gives notice, it shall be by U.S.P.S. Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested to the address utilized on the Bid Sheet, Auction Consignment and Security Agreement or other address known to Goldberg. Such sale will be at Goldberg standard commission rates at public or private sale, within California, or at another location outside of California to be determined by Goldberg. At the time of sale the defaulting party shall not bid nor be permitted to bid. The proceeds shall be applied first to the satisfaction of any damages occasioned by Purchaser’s breach, and then to the payment of any other indebtedness owing to Goldberg, including without limitation, commissions, handling charges, the expenses of both sales, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, collection agency fees and costs and any other costs or expenses incurred thereunder. If a lot or item is not paid for, and is sold by Goldberg for Purchaser’s account, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code, Goldberg shall not be required to account to the Purchaser for any excess proceeds. Purchaser shall remain liable to Goldberg if the proceeds of such sale or sales is insufficient to cover the indebtedness. If other property of Purchaser is also sold, any excess of proceeds will be remitted to the Purchaser after first deducting the expenses set forth above.

A 70-year accumulation of gold coins offered in this sale was consigned by Ed Rouen, who refers to himself as “a young 97 year old.” Ed was born in McKeensport, Pennsylvania in 1912. His father died when Ed was just ten months old, and his mother died when he was 14, leaving Ed on his own. To support himself through high school, he worked in a legitimate theater, starting as doorman and working up to usher; those years left him with a love of theater that he still feels strongly. After graduating from high school in Akron, Ohio, Ed took a bus to New York City, where he attended New York University, until financial circumstances forced him to work full time. Taking a job as an export packer, he worked after hours to learn export paperwork and became the manager of the company. Because of his work, Ed traveled to many countries and made many longlasting friendships. He also developed his hobbies in collections of antiques, numismatics, pocket watches, and stamps. In 1933, he married Sally. They settled in New Jersey and had a son, Larry, and a daughter, Marsha. Until the children were born, Ed and Sally would go into New York every June 25th and attend the theater to celebrate their wedding anniversary. In 1978, Ed made a deal with Sally that he would move to Florida with her as long as he did not have to retire. She agreed, and Ed still works out of the same office. Sadly, Ed and Sally lost their daughter in 2001 and Ed lost Sally in 2002, after 69 years together. Ed takes great pride in Larry and his three children, as well as in Marsha’s husband George, who is like a son to him, and George and Marsha’s daughter. Today, Ed maintains his friendships, enjoys playing golf, and is a voracious reader. He also admits to being a hacker. He still works in the export business, but now limits his foreign travel to Honduras, where he enjoys a relationship of 75 years with one of his oldest clients, whose children and grandchildren call him “Uncle Ed”. He is trying to slack off from working, but, being a workaholic, he is finding it difficult. He has promised his family that he will retire when he turns 100. He is already planning his 100th birthday party, which he tells us will be a real blow-out.

2046 2042

2043

N.W. Gaul, Armorican, c. Mid-First Century BC. Billon Stater (6.03 g). Stylized human head facing right. Reverse: Chariot, boar below. Cf. Seaby 110 (Channel Isles). NGC graded AU: Strike 3/5; Surface 4/5. Estimated Value ................................................................ $200 - 250

On this late tetradrachm issue from the important city of Gela, the obverse die is in a very worn state. The lizard in the exergue has vanished into a volcano-like raised hump with very little original detail remaining. The better protected reverse was struck from a well executed die, showing nice detail and fine, artistic engraving. Other Sicilian tetradrachms, like those of Syracuse, used the obverse dies much beyond their longevity, hence their very worn-appearing obverse types. Clearly, it was this wonderful man-headed bull reverse type that was valued. Estimated Value ................................................................ $250 - 300

Campania, Neapolis, c. 325-285 BC. AR Stater or Nomos (7.46 g). Head right of nymph wearing elaborate jewelry and headband; in lower left field, astragalos. Reverse: Man-headed bull walking right, being crowned by flying Nike. SNG ANS 374; cf. SNG Cop 437. Choice Very Fine.

NGC graded Choice VF: Strike 5/5; Surface 3/5 with light porosity, scratches, edge marks (now impossible to assess). Estimated Value ................................................................ $250 - 300

Sicily, Leontinoi, c. 455-430 BC. AR Tetradrachm (17.23 g). Laureate head left of Apollo. Reverse: Lion's head right with open mouth, enclosed by close-fitting, raised circle; around, four barley corns. SNG Lloyd 1060; Dewing 630v. Very Fine, and attractive. Just as the leaf replacing one of the reverse barley corns hints, the circle around the lion's head most likely indicates a particular artist of high merit. Estimated Value ................................................................ $600 - 800

Sicily, Atheâ&#x20AC;Ś, c. 357-336 BC (or a bit earlier). AE 13 (Trias). Helmeted head right of Athena; ethnic. Reverse: Female figure seated right, holding trident and bow. Calciati III, 287, 3. Extremely rare. Even brown patina; beautifully detailed; Extremely Fine. This example is much sharper than any illustrated in Calciati and distinctly reveals the retrograde inscription, perhaps referring to the obverse portrayal rather than to the ethnic. As yet, the city of origin remains a mystery. Estimated Value ................................................................ $450 - 550

BMC 128 for a similar monogram). Well struck except the eagle's head, we note a spot of crystallization on Melqart's forehead. About Extremely Fine. The half shekel denomination is significantly rarer than the full shekels, with the quarter shekel being very rare and seldom seen. While the British Museum Catalogue describes 163 shekels, only 33 half shekels are noted. The earlier, finer-style issues, as this one, are particularly desirable. Estimated Value ................................................................ $300 - 400

Well centered on a large, round flan; About Extremely Fine. There is a variance by one year in translating the year inscribed on the coin to the appropriate B.C. date, depending on the reference used. Although the British Museum volume on Phoenicia was published in 1910, their collection is most comprehensive. The BMC, then, is most useful for this series. Estimated Value ................................................................ $300 - 350

Phoenicia, Tyre, AD 33/4. AR Shekel (14.20 g) dated year 159, attributed to the Jerusalem mint. Laureate head right of Melqart. Reverse: Eagle standing left; year above club in left field. BMC 204v. for monogram. Scattered marks on obverse and reverse; otherwise Choice Very Fine on a much larger and rounder flan than normally seen. AD 33/34 is the year some Biblical historians have ascribed to the crucifixion of Jesus. Because this coin type is very likely the one to have been given to Judas Iscariot for his betrayal of Christ ("30 Pieces of Silver"), this date is the most desired of this lengthy series. It has become one of the central coins in any Biblical coin collection. Estimated Value ................................................................ $500 - 600

2205

Collection Balance of the Shekels of Tyre type, including two Shekels, two Half Shekels and two bronzes. The coins are damaged and grade Fair-Good. Lot of 6 coins. The consignor thought the bronzes to be possibly the central cores of fourrĂŠes, which seems most unlikely, as the shekels of Tyre were known thoughout the East for their purity of metal and full weight. They are the only coin type that the Jews would accept in payment for their Temple Tax. Estimated Value ................................................................ $300 - 400

Phoenicia, Tyre, AD 33/4. AR Shekel (13.18 g) dated year 159, attributed to the Jerusalem mint. Laureate head right of Melqart. Reverse: Eagle standing left; year above club in left field.

Four Shekels of Tyre dated years 9, 30, 95 and 143. Condition averages Fine. Lot of 4 coins. It's only when significant collections are offered that such a grouping of Tyrian shekels and halves can be seen in one place. Although the total cost was relatively not high to the collector, it is quite an accomplishment to garner so many different dates, especially those of year 159.

The Parthians were the arch (or should we say archer?) enemies of Rome for several centuries. While the silver drachms are most often seen, tetradrachms and bronzes were also issued; there are no gold coins known of this kingdom, encompassing modern Iran and surrounding territories. Many different citymints were employed, along with traveling military and court mints. Early silver tetradrachms were all very rare and generally in circulated condition until a sizable hoard was unearthed about 15 years ago.

The consignor of this lot and of a number of others, reveals his enthusiasm and appreciation of history through the desire to form a general collection. Condition was not as important as the story behind the coin. Perhaps a few warts and wrinkles don't matter so much. Similar collections were built by Professor Pozzi and Arthur S. Dewing, showing the breadth of the ancient world's numismatic legacy. As a cataloguer, it is fascinating to perceive the owner's personality through the coins which were chosen. In this consignment there is shown a sub-specialty in Biblical coinage: 30 shekels of Tyre were gathered, along with numerous "tribute pennies" and procuratorial prutot. Coins which bear dating within various eras intrigued our collector, along with the popular and diverse coinage inscribed "King Alexander" (Alexander the Great of Macedon).

C. Fonteius, moneyer. AR Denarius minted at Rome, c. 114113 BC. Laureate janiform head of Fontus (or Dioscuri). Reverse: Galley with navigator and three banks of rowers. Fonteia 1; Cr. 290/1; Syd. 555. Choice Very Fine. Most all Roman men had three or more names - a praenomen, nomen and cognomen. The praenomen, like Gnaeus (Cn.), Marcus (M.) or Tiberius (Ti.), generally supplied the equivalent of today's first name. These are abbreviated on coinage at the beginning of the moneyer's inscription, followed by the nomen (family or clan name or gens). It is often by this second name (gens) that Roman Republican coinage is organized. The number which follows (like Fonteia 7) indicates the coin's chronology, or that this is the seventh type to be minted of the 17 systemized types for moneyers of the gens Fonteia. Cognomens are more like ancient personal names or sobriquets. This short note should make Republican coins more accessible and these descriptions more lucid. The subject of Roman names is a complicated, but fascinating, one and several subtopics, like agnomina, women's names and the names of freed slaves, have not been touched upon. These will provide areas of further study for collectors interested in exploring a subject which reflects aspects of social and historical development of Western Civilization.

Three Scarcer, About EF Silver Denarii of Republican Times. Caecilia 45, Casia 1 and Quinctia 6. All are ex Malter's Rindge Collection auction. Lot of 3 coins. At the turn of the last century, Frederick Hastings Rindge owned all of Malibu in California. The main artery built through Rancho Malibu was named "Roosevelt Highway" after the beloved president, and was later renamed "Pacific Coast Highway." Grandfather Chumash, the last full-blooded native Chumash Indian of the area, was lecturing in the late 1960s when this cataloguer and his young family moved to a tiny portion of this fragile and beautiful 27-mile-long area along the Southern California coast. We heard his voice, shook his hand, looked into his wise, gentle eyes. According to his words, Grandfather Chumash was a shaman and a trader; he exchanged tribal secrets for sacred ancestral bones lying in museum cabinets. Rindge treasured history, and these coins from his trays have special meaning, at least to the present cataloguer, whose children have actually unearthed portions of the Rindge's narrowgauge railroad which crossed our property.

An even greater sensation of riches is felt from the opulent gold oktadrachms of the Ptolemies that have recently been discovered in such profusion - the equivalent of "Binion" notes or multicarat diamonds.

FANTASTIC GOLD AUREUS OF BRUTUS, POSSIBLY THE FINEST KNOWN SPECIMEN!

ENLARGEMENT

2416

Marcus Junius Brutus, d. 42 BC. Gold Aureus (8.07 g), struck at a traveling mint in Macedonia or Western Asia Minor, summer/autumn 42 BC. With moneyer, P. Servilius Casca Longus. Bare head right of Brutus with short beard, BRVTVS IMP on either side, all within laurel wreath. Reverse: Combined military and naval trophies, with prows and shields at base; a small L to left of trophy; CASCA LONGVS on either side. Fr-24 (this coin); Craw 507/1b; BMCRR 62; Syd. 1297; Vagi 94; Kent-Hirmer 99. Faint double striking at back of head, otherwise a splendid likeness, in high relief. Lustrous and sharp! One of the most historic of Roman issues, gold or silver! Excessively rare. Probably the finest of only 8 recorded specimens. NGC graded Choice About Uncirculated. After Julius Caesar, the second most recognizable name of the imperatorial era is Marcus Junius Brutus. Was he the last guardian of the Republican age or only an infamous and most vile assassin of Caesar? Born about 85 BC, Brutus was thrust into the political realm and early became a follower of Cato, a staunch Republican. Later, Brutus built a fortune by lending money at usurious rates and eventually became a Roman senator. What did Brutus really want? Like Edward G. Robinson in Key Largo, "More"? There grew a great friendship between Caesar and Brutus, but during the Civil War it was clear that Caesar would never return to the former Republican government. Instead, Caesar was swayed by his many victories and public adulation, ultimately accepting the title "dictator for life." Caesar's portrait graced many coin issues, and his likeness was the first of a living person to be depicted upon the specie we now revere. It is ironic to also find the portrayal of Brutus on Coinage.

The ensuing struggle, the loss of life and of ideals, and the change of government are witnessed and related on this wonderful coin. Shakespeare (perhaps one in the same with Francis Bacon) gave us the perfect glimpse into the stage as life; Joseph Mankiewiez and John Houseman created a magnificent vision in their 1953 film Julius Caesar. With Marlon Brando, James Mason, John Gielgud, Greer Garson, Deborah Kerr and other stellar actors, it is a movie to view and view again. The next time you see it, ponder this aureus and the previous denarius. Estimated Value ...........................................................................................................................................................................................$400,000 - 500,000 Ex John Whitney Walter Collection, Stack's-Berk Auction (11-29-90), lot 7; ex NFA Auction XXII (06-01-89), lot 23; ex Leu Auction 22 (05-08-79), lot 184.

Brutus, d. 42 BC. AR Denarius struck 43-42 BC at the mint moving with Brutus. Laureate head right of Neptune; below, trident. Reverse: Victory walking right on broken scepter and holding broken diadem. Cr. 507/2; Syd. 1298; RSC 3. Some crystallization on upper right quadrant of reverse. About Extremely Fine / Very Fine. A favorite issue of collectors, this denarius seems to possess an appropriate return to Republican types. The broken spear is likely symbolic of the crushing of Julius Caesar's supposed hunger for complete dictatorial power over Rome. Estimated Value ................................................................ $400 - 500

FAMOUS "IDES OF MARCH" BRUTUS AR DENARIUS, 43-42 BC

ENLARGEMENT 2418

Brutus, d. 42 BC. AR Denarius (3.59 g) struck at a mint moving with Brutus, 43-42 BC. Bare head right of Brutus. Reverse: Pileus between two daggers; below, EIDâ&#x20AC;˘MAR. Cr. 508/3; Syd. 1301; BMC 68. A few scrapes and a bit porous. Superb portrait; Extremely Fine. Nominated as the preeminent coin of One Hundred Greatest Ancient Coins by Harlan Berk, this denarius commemorates the assassination of Julius Caesar on the Ides of March (15 March), 44 BC. How amazing that such a blatant numismatic memorial should have been issued! It marks the final chapter of the Roman Republic, as the dictatorial power of the emperors would soon come fully into being. While, on a variety of his coins, the portrait of the living and ruling dictator Julius Caesar incensed a great number of the populace, here we have the same egotism shown by Brutus, as Imperator, Caesar's prime assassin. We have an active symbolism pictured on the reverse of this coin: the bloodied daggers wielded by Brutus and his cohorts in a futile effort to regain Roman liberty (pileus, or liberty cap). Today, there are about 100 known specimens of this very rare coin, commanding steep prices. Their value has steadily increased, as befits their historical importance. There are quite a few fourrĂŠes (copper-core forgeries of the time) of this particular issue, with many of the finest examples having been test marked by bankers of the period, showing porosity or weakly struck areas and demonstrating other faults. Most of these have brought six-figure prices, with one selling over the quarter of a million mark. The present coin, while having a few marks and a bit of porosity, is a top-notch example which possesses a particularly fine portrait of Brutus and a rremarkably bold reverse. Estimated Value ...................................................................................................................................................................................................... $75,000-UP

Cassius, d. 42 BC. AR Denarius struck c. 42 BC at the mint moving with Brutus and Cassius. Diademed head right of Libertas. Reverse: Jug and lituus. Cr. 500/3; Syd. 1307; RSC 4. Choice Very Fine and attractive.

2422

Cassius was one of the assassins of Julius Caesar. A collection specializing in the sought-after coins of these ambitious, troubled republican loyalists is quite a challenge. Their numismatic issues are underrated in cost when compared to their rarity and historical importance. Estimated Value ................................................................ $375 - 450

Technically, Octavian received the title Augustus in 27 BC. Earlier, this nephew of Julius Caesar was referred to as Caius Octavius, or Octavian.

Ex Malter's Rindge Colelction auction, lot 1937.

At this time, Brundisium (today's Brindisi, on the eastern side of the heel of Italy's boot) was likely Octavian's naval headquarters. Portrayal of Venus is an allusion to Caesar himself, as she was believed to be the founder of his gens.

Austria. 5 Ducats, 1661 (Vienna). Fr- 262 (174); Henirek-85. 17.4 grams. Leopold I, 1657-1705. Laureate bust right. Reverse: Crowned double-headed eagle. A premium specimen, technically choice, fully Uncirculated with slightly prooflike fields heavy with luster, the flan broad and deeply impressed, creating a delightful portrait! High-level eye appeal, and extremely rare. NGC graded MS-63. Leopold, second son of and successor to Ferdinand III, ascended to the Imperial throne during one of the most tumultuous periods in the Holy Roman Empire's history. His reign saw incessant warring with a resurgent Ottoman Turkey and a territorially aggressive France, and his era roughly corresponded to the rule of France's Louis XIV, yet he was overshadowed by Louis'charisma and aggression. Austria's wartime need for capital expenditures insured that silver coinages would be among the most prolific of the Hapsburgs. However the larger denomination gold issues remain rare to excessively rare, depending upon the individual issue. This splendid coin epitomizes its times. Estimated Value ............................................... $12,000 - 15,000

Reverse: Crowned double-headed eagle; M - I, on either side (Mintmaster Michael Jan). Exceptionally choice, sharply and evenly struck on essentially a perfect flan. Lustrous and beautifully centered, with high rim beading. Extremely rare. The very image of its age, a masterpiece in gold! NGC graded MS-63.

Breslau (Polish Wroclaw) epitomized much of Central European history, in that "every time the wind changed directions" the city changed hands.

Belgium was at this time under the control of the Austrian Emperor Joseph II, who alienated the Belgians to the point of rebellion. Ironically, soon after the lands were re-conquered, they were taken by Napoleon's armies. The symbolism here makes it a marvelous piece from the Age of Revolution.

Charles had almost a pathological hatred of the British, and opposed them politically whenever he could. He opposed Britian in the French and Indian War (Seven Years War), and for his efforts, lost Florida, but gained the Louisiana Territories from France. He really wanted to recapture Gibraltar, since it was just a few feet from his coastline, but the British kept the territory.

NGC graded MS62. Charles was a terrible king. Very physically strong, he loved wrestling, and would find the strongest countrymen available to compete against. He loved hunting as well, but that was about all he craved. He had no interest in affairs of state, and left this to his ministers. Probably his wisest decision was his abdication in 1808.

Ferdinand was one of the more able kings of Spain. He attempted to modernize his country and cut down on the rampant corruption. On both counts he was successful. He was smart enough to stay out of war, and refused to favor publically either the British or the French. Through the efforts of his chief minister, the Marquis of Ensenada, he built up his navy, and established a more equitable taxation sysytem, known as the cadastre, which taxed based on wealth and ability to pay. A "progressive" tax. Unfortunately for Spain, he ruled only fourteen years. Estimated Value ...................................................$7,000 - 8,000

Colombia. 8 Escudos, 1769/7 PN-J (Popayan). Fr-24; KM38.2. 26.99 grams. Charles III, 1759-1788. Draped bust of Ferdinand VI right; name of Charles III in legend. Reverse: Crowned arms, Order of Golden Fleece around. Denticles weak at upper edge, but devices full, even and sharp. Much of the proof-like fields remain. Rare in this grade, the underdate very evident. NGC graded AU-58. The so called "transitional" types are coins with the portrait of the previous kings (in this case Ferdinand VI), and the legend of the new king (here, Charles III). It should be appreciated, in these times of precarious and slow transportation, how long it could take to transport new dies with up to date likenesses of the new king. It was easy to change the legend, but far more difficult to get the accepted portrait of the king. There seemed to be a lack of urgency as well to modernize the portrait. This coin was struck ten years after Charles ascended the throne. Estimated Value ............................................... $10,000 - 12,000 Ex Trigo Collection. Ex Millennia, Lot 1020.

Maximilain was an able ruler who won many great battles, but lost one that badly hurt him, the Battle of Blenheim in 1704. By siding with the French against the empire, he was banished from the Munich court and this lost his influence and prestige. His plan to supplant the Habsburgs with the Wittelsbachs failed. Estimated Value ................................................... $5,000 - 6,000

Germany's mineral assets were obtained either from the mountains or from gold panning along the rivers. While the mining of gold by means of excavation was strictly regulated, apparently anyone, for a small fee, could obtain a license to do panning or gold washing. These permits generally stipulated that the gold recovered would be delivered to the issuing authorities or mint, where it would be purchased at a set price. Sometimes the gold recovered in this manner would be struck up into coins -- usually ducats. From this practice, King Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria was able to issue a small number of gold coins in 1821, similar to the above ducat, denoting on the coins'reverses that the gold originated from the Danube, Inn, Isar and Rhein rivers. The total mintage for that issue was about 1,100 pieces. Estimated Value ................................................... $6,000 - 7,000

REMARKABLE RICHARD II GOLD NOBLE

3042

Great Britain. Noble, ND. S-1658; N-1304. 7.81 grams. Richard II, 1377-1399. London Mint. Henry IV Style-Coinage, with Aquitaine title. King stands facing in ship, bearing sword and shield, trefoil over sail. Reverse: Royal cross in tressure. Cross pattee mintmark (style of Edward III's Cross 4). An incredibly choice piece, lustrous with a crisp strike and a full flan, and remarkably with the king's face fully detailed! The finest Richard II noble this cataloguer has seen in nearly 30 years, and a coin of historical value as well as exceptional eye-appeal. NGC graded MS-64. The son of Edward, Prince of Wales, "the Black Prince," and Joan, the "Fair Maid of Kent," Richard was but ten years old when he came to the throne upon the death of his grandfather, Edward III. During his minority, rule of England was effected by a council under the leadership of his uncle, John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. After the Black Death had coursed through England from 1348-1350, killing a huge percentage of the population, economic hardship followed, as it did throughout most of Europe. England saw wages and prices rapidly increase. Parliament further worsened matters by enacting wage limits, but absurdly failing to control prices. Thus into the fourth year of Henry's reign England was racked by the peasant revolts led by Wat Tyler, to protest the suffering caused by John of Gaunt's oppressive economic policies. Another legacy of his uncle John would prove even more devastating to Richard: his lavish patronage of favorites was causing some consternation in government circles. A group of nobles sought to counter this by having some of these privileged few tried and convicted of treason. Richard retaliated, causing the death of three and the exile of two. One of the exiles was his cousin, Henry of Bollingbroke, son of John of Gaunt. Henry would eventually maneuver to have himself declared king while Richard was absent from the country. The deposed Richard was soon captured and imprisoned in 1399. The following year, while still in prison, he would be murdered in the prison -- becoming the first casualty in the War of the Roses between the Houses of Lancaster and York.

Although a Lancastrian, when Henry gained the throne he was from the onset determined to bring order to England after 85 years of civil war. He thus married Elizabeth of York, and so combined in the Tudor line the factions of both Lancaster and York. Further discord as to succession was now ended. Henry's experiences with English nobility during the War of the Roses led him to mistrust them. So he worked diligently to strengthen the monarchy at their expense. Henry likewise displayed acumen in foreign affairs. The most far reaching, incidently, was to secure Papal dispensation for his son, Henry (the future Henry VIII), to marry Catherine of Aragon (whose divorce would provide a home for Protestantism, founding the new Church of England). In commerce, Henry encouraged trade, and subsidized shipbuilding, along with entering into lucrative trade agreements. Both crown and country profited under his stewardship. He moved England away from the Middle Ages, where feudal obligation was primary, to a more modern country of law and trade.

Reverse: Crowned shield, with supporters. Tun mintmark. Well struck, with intricate details showing on the portrait. On a broad flan with full legends. An exceptionally choice EF. Very rare. NGC graded EF-40. Edward VI, son of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour, was born in 1537. He ascended the throne at age nine, upon the death of his father. He was betrothed to his cousin, Mary Queen of Scots, but deteriorating English-Scot relations prohibited their marriage. The frail, Protestant boy died of consumption at age sixteen, having never married.

Economic hardship plagued England during Edward's rule and foreign relations were in a state of disarray. The new faith and the dissolution of the monasteries (effected by his cash-strapped father) had left a considerable population of ecclesiastical officials out of work at a time when unemployment soared. The enclosure of monastic lands as Crown property likewise deprived many peasants of their means of subsistence. The coinage lost value when new coins were minted from inferior metals, even as specie from the New World flooded English markets. The debasements that Henry initiated were continued sporadically under the regency of the minor king. So that no odium would be attached to the new reign, these coins still bore the portrait of King Henry. In 1551, when the duke of Northumberland was in charge of Edward's regency, a resolve was made to remedy the currency. This involved one more debasement, which gave officials almost enough bullion to coin an issue approaching the old sterling standard. The new coinage included a handsome new silver crown, the first English silver coin of thaler size, and a half crown. These impressive pieces were put to the public, as it were, as a pledge of reform of the currency. The new scheme did not quite work. The price of silver was still so high that it was tempting to hoard or melt down the new money. It wouldn't be until the time of Elizabeth that the currency problems would finally be resolved.

Oliver Cromwell was one of those rare individuals in English history who, because of his abilities and placement, and a fortunate timing of events, had the opportunity to effect a political (and eventually a social) change to the country, of a magnitude that hadn't been seen in centuries. Unfortunately, under his stewardship fruition of those opportunities was never fully realized and Britain's chance to move away from a monarchial government towards a republic became for the most part a non-event. The failure of the governors of the Commonwealth and of Oliver Cromwell as its strongest political representative (and certainly of his son Richard) lay in their collective inability to properly handle the numerous opposing forces they were all caught between. Various social pressures were already leading to a splintering and fractiousness of English society by the time of the reign of Charles I, which the years of later civil war would only exacerbate. Cromwell's attempts to placate such groups as the army, the nobility and Parliament, not to mention his own Puritans, resulted only in the alienation of each of these constituencies. Likewise, Parliament showed no foresight in leaving the political machinery of the parishes and shires basically untouched under the new constitution. Thus these important entities were left to continue in their centuries-old tradition of obeisance and fealty to a king. In the end, Parliament, Cromwell and the army failed to a make a clear distinction and separation between their changed constitution and the preceding ancient constitution, with its customs of loyalty and obedience to a monarchy which had been evolving since Anglo-Saxon times.

Eventually, Cromwell's governance degenerated into a military dictatorship, and then into a monarchy in all but name. Cromwell's title went from Lord General of the Army to Lord Protector of the Realm (the title of king was proffered, but wisely rejected by him). Cromwell died on September 3, 1658 (of kidney-stone poisoning), naming his feckless son Richard as successor. Without Oliver's strong personality, the Commonwealth soon floundered and within two years of the Lord Protector's demise the monarchy was regained under Charles II, son of the executed Charles I. When the young king returned from exile in the French court, he landed at Dover and kissed his native soil as his very first act of "restoration."

EXQUISITE 1656 CROMWELL GOLD PATTERN BROAD

ENLARGEMENT 3092

Great Britain. Gold Pattern Broad, 1656. WR-39. S-3225; Fr-273. By Thomas Simon. Oliver Cromwell, 1653-1660. Laureate head of Cromwell left. Reverse: Crowned arms of the Protectorate. Reeded edge. Superbly struck, with handsome old reddish toning. Extremely rare in this grade -- certainly among the finest known, if not in fact the best piece extant. NGC graded Proof 64 Cameo. The so-called gold Broad, valued in 1656 at 20 shillings, was in effect the very first Guinea, which was invented in the following decade and also valued at 20 shillings. In earlier, hammered versions, it was known as the Pound. Cromwell's golden Broad brought back a tradition lost for some decades, that of placing the monarch's portrait on the "face" of the coin. Cromwell, however, famously declined the regal title, opting for Lord Protector in its stead. But in reality Oliver Cromwell ruled with great personal authority and influence, much as had the long succession of monarchs before him. His Broad is considered very rare (R2 in Wilson & Rasmussen), but the R2 rating does an injustice to this particular specimen, in that most of these pieces, when seen, are heavily impaired by scratches, digs, cleaning and other abuse. While these are referred to as "patterns," nevertheless their issuance as general coin was authorized in 1656, with large-scale production done in 1657, and a second and larger production some time before Cromwell's death. All were machine-made from dies supplied by Thomas Simon, without a doubt one of England's finest die engravers (and an unappreciated national "art treasure" at the time). The striking was done on the presses of a hired Frenchman, Pierre Blondeau. Unfortunately for the talented Simon, the process of converting to mechanized coining caused him to be displaced from his job at the mint as principal engraver, although he continued to cut seals. Later, Simon would fall victim to the Great Plague of 1665 that ravished London and the rest of England. Much like Mozart, he passed away ignominiously. Also much like Mozart, his art has lived on forever, while the memories of those who despoiled him have become no more than mites of dust.

Great Britain. Guinea, 1665. S-3342; Fr-287; KM-424.1. Charles II, 1660-1685. Third Laureate Bust. Laureate head right. Reverse: Crowned cruciform arms, with alternating scepters at angles, central interlocking C's. This wonderful and very special coin should be listed in the Wilson & Rasmussen Proofs book, for it is clearly out of the ordinary. Perhaps it is a Specimen strike, but unrecorded. Not only is this a very rare date, but it's also one of the finest known Charles II guineas of any style. Extremely rare, finely struck and prooflike, and of remarkable quality! Virtually as made, an awesome coin! NGC graded Specimen 62. Even after the unremarkable interregnum of the Commonwealth, which lasted for 11 years, there were many Protestants in the country who were dismayed to see the throne revert back to the Catholic Stuarts. Undoubtedly some felt it was the just and divine wrath of God when in the fifth year of his reign Death, Black Death, came to stalk the streets of London. However, Black Death, or plague (most likely the bubonic variety), was no stranger to the city. It had been there before, on sporadic visits. The earliest, largest one of note was in 1258. Nearly a century later Black Death of holocaust proportions consumed Europe, stopping by England, and reaching London in November of 1348. On that occasion it is estimated that it wiped out well over half of London's population before petering out in the early 1350s. Subsequent outbreaks continued in the 1400 and 1500s, but all small scale. Recurrences were still to be seen in the first half of the 1600s, with those in 1603 and 1625 being particularly severe. There were still more outbreaks during the 1630s and 1640s, but then in 1664 the worst epidemic yet hit the capital. This outbreak of the plague became known as the Great Plague. In 1663 plague ravaged Holland. Charles II wisely, in part, forbade any trade with the Dutch out of concern of contracting the contagion (and partly because England was engaged in a cut-throat trade war with Holland at the time). Whether the new outbreak originated via the Netherlands, or merely just as a cyclical recurrence, one can never say. Despite precautions, the first case of the disease was recognized during Christmas 1664, but the cold weather kept further casualties in check. April of 1665 saw the first victims of what was to be termed the Great Plague. Spring brought a quickening in the death rate but, as these were all in the poorer sections of London, the authorities chose to ignore it. However, as spring turned into one of the hottest summers in memory, the number of deaths began to soar and panic set in. For the next 18 months an estimated 100,000 people at the least were to die. London of the time was still the medieval city, with narrow streets and lanes, tightly packed with timber houses, humans, and their refuse. London was a filthy city. The squalor of the slums was mythical in degree, and the perfect breeding place for the flea-infested rats that spread the disease. This is why the city was never wholly free of the plague. Attempts had been made over the decades at some degree of sanitation improvement, and similar interventions, but these were mostly unsuccessful because no one then knew that the rats and their burdensome fleas were the true culprits of this contagion. In fact, it was the popular belief then that the plague was caused by dogs and cats. The authorities hastened to eradicate all those found within city's limits. Author Daniel Defoe in his Journal of the Plague Years estimated that 40,000 dogs and 200,000 cats were killed. The result of these measures was that the disease-carrying rat population quickly mushroomed, and the plague spread even more rapidly. The rich, many of the upper clergy, most of the physicians, and those who could afford to quickly fled London to distant residences. The king and his court relocated to Salisbury, and again to Oxford. Others less affluent moved onto boats on the Thames (the river population swelled to an estimated at 10,000). By June the roads were so clogged by escapees that the Lord Mayor ordered the city's gates shut to anyone who did not have a certificate of health. A thriving market in forged certificates quickly grew up. For many, though, now locked within the diseaseravaged city, all they could do was die. The numbers of corpses were so great that even with gravediggers working 24 hours a day they couldn't bury all the bodies within a day of the victim's death. As a result the streets were filled with corpses and the city was rank with the smell of death. London's hot spell peaked in September and so did the death rate. With the change of weather and the advent of the cold season, the casualty rate began dropping, so that by February of 1666 Charles felt it safe enough to return to the city. While not gone, the epidemic did not have a chance to regain its momentum when the weather turned warmer, for another stroke of fate literally cleansed the city of the contagion: this would be the Great Fire of London in September. While decimating the physical city, it also eradicated many of the conditions and vermin that harbored the disease. The new, rebuilt London of subsequent years was more spacious and open. Never again would the city be affected so adversely by this disease. How remarkable, then, that in this dire year someone thought to create, and strike, a new Guinea of specimen quality, with a medallic portrait of the new king!

EXTREMELY RARE SPECIMEN 1676 GOLD TWO GUINEAS

ENLARGEMENT

3095

Great Britain. Two Guineas, 1676. S-3335; Fr-284; KM-443.1. Charles II, 1660-1685. Second Bust, with rounded truncation. Laureate head right. Reverse: Crowned cruciform arms, with alternating scepters at angles, central interlocking C's. Possibly the finest known gold coin of Charles II, of any date or denomination! Some sort of Prooflike or Specimen issue, as nothing else like it is known of this date or this denomination. It possesses mirrored surfaces and glorious bright golden red luster, and both sides are deeply impressed by the dies, so that every detail of the design is clear. It is not unreasonable to suggest that it was a "show piece," possibly prepared for royal inspection. Extremely rare. NGC graded Specimen 63. Born in 1630 at St James Palace, and happy in his early years, Charles led a mostly secretive or secluded life during much of his father's reign, a time of warring political factions, rather than of warring nations, in which the quarry was power itself. This was England's civil war, in which monarchy in its old sense was torn apart. The prince spent his teenage years protected at the court of Louis XIV, France's "sun king," after Cromwell's army pursued his father from fortress to fortress, finally capturing, trying and executing King Charles I in January 1649 by beheading. At Paris the young prince witnessed firsthand France's blooming new culture of high art. But London became a dire place to be, ruled by the Puritans and their Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell, until his painful 1658 death in bed from kidney stones and related ailments. Came a time, then, of Restoration of the Monarchy, in which the exiled prince was proclaimed King in 1660, regrouped his Stuart allies, showed remarkable clemency for many former traitors to the Crown, and relinquished the essence of kingship to parliamentary procedure. Charles II showed other gifts, however, bringing a new era of culture to Britain but also one of war abroad and homeland disasters: the plague of 1665 followed by the great London fire of 1666. The diarist Pepys recorded the new political climate, and the coffehouse became a sensation of the first generation of newspaper readers. Charles built the foundations of today's national collection of artworks, loved yachting, played at the new sciences, and dallied with infamous femmes.

In numismatics, too, the king's sense of beauty prevailed, as during his monarchy the brand-new Milled Coinage began, machine-made coins of great precision and careful workmanship, and a new uniformity. By the time the king died, without blood successor, in 1685, his money had been transformed into a thing of beauty and consistent value. Among the new coinage was a series of Guineas, fractions and multiples, that were nothing but the highest statement of numismatic artistry of the era. This new name was taken from the area also known as the "Gold Coast," where the Africa Company mined golden wealth for an expanding peoples who would soon reach for empire. During this reign, power was restored to royal hands, but the nation had been transformed forever from a medieval state to a more unified citizenry which cherished the pleasures of civilization, gained freedoms previously reserved for the few, and stood on the brink of becoming a military and industrial power of worldwide scope, In it all, Charles "the Merry Monarch" left the stamp of his character. To us, he bequeathed such relics of his times as this momentous Double Guinea bearing his lifelike portrait, to be savored forever. No finer portrait of his exists in any form -- painted, metallic or sculpted.

REMARKABLE PROOFLIKE JAMES II 1688 GOLD FIVE GUINEAS

3098

Great Britain. Five Guineas, 1688. S-3397A; Fr-292 (158); KM-460.1. 41.62 grams. James II, 1685-1688. Second Bust. QVARTO on edge. Laureate head left. Reverse: Crowned cruciform arms, with alternating scepters at angles. Trivial weakness at one shield and date, and a few adjustment marks hidden within the hair, otherwise choice strike, with prooflike fields and softly cameo devices. Remarkable preservation. Very rare thus. NGC graded MS-64 Prooflike. James was the third son of Charles I, the brother of Charles II, and as the Duke of York he was successor to the throne of England. The return of Charles II as king was met with apprehension by many Englishmen. And their misgivings were certainly fulfilled on his part by his absolutist leanings, his lack of responsiveness to Parliament, his favoring and promoting of alliances with the Catholic powers in Europe, and at home his toleration of Catholic dissent. A Parliamentary party arose in opposition to Charles, and more so to continued Stuart succession. And yet, civil war as a once again option never arose. The populace would rather have a monarchy, even with its faults, than return to the "republicanism" of the Commonwealth. Also, Charles was somewhat lazy and lackadaisical as a ruler, although surprisingly tolerant in many ways and occasionally he even showed a sharp political savvy. This certain degree of flexibility prevented the disaffected from acquiring pivotal political backing against him. James, on the other hand, was decidedly different from his brother. James, converting to Roman Catholicism probably around 1668, was stiff and humorless compared to his brother, yet a staunch, even ardent, supporter of his faith. Initially his accession was greeted with some enthusiasm, since his brother had left him the legacy of a strong executive office, with the added bonus of a loyal Tory-dominated Parliament. Opinion soon changed when in the first few months of his reign he was faced with a Protestant rebellion. The rebels were speedily put down, but in a particularly harsh and bloody manner. After this, James worked diligently to enlarge and strengthen the "royal prerogative" of old. Also he meddled extensively in local and town governments, interfering with the courts, all with the purpose of re-installing to positions of influence and power as many Catholics as possible in an attempt to turn England back to the Catholic faith. Topping off matters, his second wife provided him with a male heir, which could now interfere with Parliament's wish that James's Protestant daughter, Mary, succeed to the throne upon the death of her father. Within three years, both the old nobility and the emerging commercial class had been totally alienated by him. Likewise the Whig opposition of old now found themselves with ample Tory allies who had become disgusted with James. Seven Whig and Tory leaders sent an invitation to the Dutch prince William of Orange and his consort, Mary (Protestant daughter of James), to come to England. William landed at Torbay in Devonshire with an army. James's forces, under John Churchill (later duke of Marlborough), deserted him. James fled, was captured, and then was allowed to flee to France in December of 1688. James's flight was eventually termed an "abdication," and Mary and her husband were installed as the new sovereigns. In retaliation, James rallied together some Irish forces (which were supported by French troops provided by Louis IX), but they were soundly defeated by William's forces. Thereafter James lived the remainder of his life in France, dying in 1701.

Remarkable preservation, exceptionally choice with dramatic eye appeal. There are 63s and there are 63s. We would like to see another 63 of this date equal to this wonderful specimen. NGC graded MS-63 Prooflike. The English Guinea was so-named because the earliest specimens, struck by Charles II, were derived from gold mined and imported from Guinea (now Ghana), in Africa. The gold was acquired and brought in by the "Company of Royal Adventurers of England Trading in Africa." Its charter granted the company the privilege of having its badge appear on coins struck from the metal they imported. Thus a number of Charles'issues have the added device of an elephant in profile below his bust. Weighing in at nearly an ounce and a half of 22 karat gold, the coin was the heaviest English gold piece ever to circulate. In 1677, William, prince of the House of Orange, of the Netherlands, wed Mary, the Protestant daughter of the Catholic James, Duke of York (who would later rule as James II). Upon the birth of a son to James, Protestant opposition invited William to England and James was deposed in the brief and bloodless "Glorious Revolution." In 1689 William and Mary were now the sovereigns of England. However, Queen Mary's death in 1694 left the couple without heirs and so the English Parliament, fearing a Catholic claimant to the throne, passed in 1701 the Acts of Settlement to provide that if William III and Princess Anne (later Queen Anne) should die without heirs, the succession to the throne should pass to Sophia, Electress of Hanover and granddaughter of James I, or to her heirs, only if they were Protestants. Queen Mary's sister, Anne, ascended to England's throne after the death of William. Although Queen Anne (1702-1714) gave birth to seventeen children, none of them lived long enough to survive her. Thus the succession strictures went into effect and the House of Hanover for the next century became one with England and English history.

Lustrous, an exceptional example of this historic hallmarked issue. Rare. NGC graded AU55. The East India Company was a major tool in Britain's path to mercantilism. It provided a means for the eventual incorporation of the whole of India into the British Empire. It was established in 1600 to challenge the Dutch-Portuguese monopoly of the spice trade in Asia. Initially, the British had hoped to sell linen broadcloth to the vastly populated subcontinent -- something that had proved immensely popular and profitable for decades in their European markets. They were severely disappointed but discovered that native items could be sold at home for handsome returns. Winning concessions over time from local rulers, the Company established trading posts aimed at obtaining silk, cotton, indigo and tea in Madras, Bombay, Calcutta, and elsewhere along both coasts. Parliament later rescinded the Company's monopoly, but by the time of this coin's minting some 15% of Britain's imports came from India, and the Company's presence required an ever larger British military obligation to safeguard operations and pesonnel. By 1773 a Regulating Act instrumented by Lord North granted to the Crown control over the affairs of the Company, and placed the whole of India under the rule of a Governor-General. The East India Company was dissolved in 1858, when the administration of India was turned over to the Crown. This wonderful coin valued at 5 Guineas, marked with the Company's initials, was struck from gold obtained in India through trading conducted by the Company at the height of its power.

IMPORTANT PATTERN PROOF 1825 SOVEREIGN

3117

VICTORIA GOLDEN JUBILEE GOLD MEDAL

Great Britain. Pattern Sovereign, 1825. WR-236. By William Wyon after Chantrey's model. The reverse by Merlen. George IV, 1820-1830. Bare head left. Reverse: Crowned, ornately garnished shield. Reeded edge. R5, extremely rare (6 to 10 known). A choice specimen, with light golden toning and a nicely frosted portrait and shield. NGC graded Proof 64 Cameo. 1825 was the year in which the king intervened in matters numismatic, insisting that his laureate portrait be replaced on all the coinage. Evidently he felt the earlier portrait made him look too much like a "Roman," along with his face looking too full (in fact he was a portly man). Thus this new style shows him with an almost slim neck and a much lighter and naturalistic face. Estimated Value ................................................... $8,000 - 9,000 Ex Dr Jacob Y.

Exceptional detailed strike, with only slight adjustment marks remaining. Minor faint random hairlines at centers, otherwise glittering to proof-like luster overall. Probably the finest known example of this rarity. NGC graded MS-63 Prooflike. The Central Americam Republic was centered in Guatemala. It was totally ineffectual and dissolved betwwen 1838 and 1840 after each state opted for independence. At this time, an illiterate highwayman named Rafael Carrera pledged a vendetta against the Guatemalan president of the Central American Republic, Francisco Morazon. Carrera was backed by the conservatives in Guatemala as well as the powerful Catholic Church. He succeeeded in dominating Guatemalan politics and was named president for life. He actually did a relatively good job as president given the chaotic times. Despite his humble background, he is known as the founder of modern Guatemala (El Fundador).

AWE-INSPIRING PETER THE GREAT 1705 RUBLE STRUCK IN GOLD

ENLARGEMENT

3411

Russia. Peter I, 1682-1725. Novodel Ruble struck in Gold, 1705 (Moscow). Fr-76 (62); Sev-12; Bitkin-532; Diakov-page 87, part 1. 44.22 grams. Laureate, cuirassed youthful bust right. Reverse: Crowned, double-headed eagle with scepter and orb. Plain edge. Sharply struck with all details bold, Peter's hair curls in higher than normal relief. The surfaces are fully prooflike on both sides, with the devices softly lustrous to frosty matte and the fields reflective with an almost watery texture. Undoubtedly a high gift of state, the coin has been carefully preserved, with minimal marks or hairlines. The reverse die shows faint radiating cracks. This is one of the most important of all Russian coins! Struck in gold to the weight of 13 Ducats, 44.22 grams, and created from the dies of the novodel ruble of 1705 (Sev-185), this is the plate coin shown in Bitkin and Diakov which appeared in both the 1977 Soderman and the 1991 Goodman auctions and is the only specimen appearing at public auction in over 25 years. Severin mentions this particular specimen (his number 12) as well as another weighing 40.4 grams, making this one of only two known examples. He also mentions a gold 1707 rouble (no. 18) and a 1723 in 12-ducat weight, each presumably unique. NGC graded MS-63. Among Peter's numerous reforms, he caused his country's coinage system to change from being the most old-fashioned in Europe to being the most up to date. His was the first coinage to employ the decimal system (dividing the Ruble into one hundred smaller units, of copper Kopecks). Part of his reform involved devaluation, which made, for the first time, the Russian Ruble equivalent in its buying power to the Polish, Saxony and Silesian thalers which had seen such free circulation within the country before. It is said that, when the first Ruble coins bearing Western-style Arabic dates were struck in 1707, it was Peter himself operating the coin press!

Spain. Gold 320 Reales, 1810-RS (Madrid). Fr-300; CCT-2; KM-545. 26.98 grams. Joseph Napoleon, 1808-1814. Filleted head left. Reverse: Crowned arms, Order of Golden Fleece around, the new denomination to the sides of the shield. Centers slightly soft in strike, the fields clean and the portrait generally pleasing, lustrous with brilliant fields. Attractive, old red to brown toning in the recesses. Very rare, and in a quality rarely encountered. NGC graded AU-55. Here is an example of the larger, new-denomination coin minted in Madrid during the Napoleonic era, when Joseph Napoleon assumed control. Spain's then-current, debased coinage, known as vellón (an alloy of silver and copper), was a continuing source of unutterable confusion in Spanish finance. During Joseph Napoleon's tenure, an attempt was made to organize the currency on a more rational basis, with all coins being some form of reales. The new coinage was minted in 1, 2, 4, 10 and 20 reales, in 90% silver. The higher value 80, 160 and 320 reales gold coins were in a slightly lower quality gold, about 21 karat. Circulation of Napoleonic coinage was limited to Spain. It was not used in the colonies and certainly did not make its way to the United States. With the Revolution the old coinage passed away and was replaced by the decimal system, the peseta and céntimo being equivalent to the French franc and centime. Many prices continued to be quoted in the traditional reales, which were then rated at 25 céntimos (about 5 cents of American money). Virtually no citizen outside of Spain ever saw a large gold coin such as this regal piece. Estimated Value ...............................................................................................................................................................................................$20,000 - 25,000 Illustrated in Money of The World, coin 127. Ex Millennia, Lot 832.

GORGEOUS "ROYAL" 1630 8 REALES

3666

Bolivia. "Royal" 8 Reales, 1630-P-T (Potosi). WR-4; KM-R19a. 26.99 grams. Philip IV, 1621-1665. Crowned Hapsburg shield. Reverse: Quartered arms of Castille and Leon in tressure. Some trivial peripheral porosity, otherwise good strike on very fine metal. Flan nicely round, with handsome toning. NGC graded AU-55. The reign of Philip IV saw the continuing decline of Spanish industry and commerce, which had begun in 1588 with the loss of Spanish naval supremacy in the defeat of the Spanish Armada by England. The country was impoverished by wars with France, Germany, and Holland. Portugal regained its independence in 1640; Holland, which had been part of the Spanish Low Countries, was lost by the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648; Catalonia revolted and declared its allegiance to Louis XIII of France; and Roussillon was lost permanently. On the bright side, Philip was a patron of the arts, especially of Velasquez, one of Spain's greatest painters. Velasquez immortalized Philip, his queen, his children, and nobles of the court, as well some unusual subjects: court jesters, dwarfs, idiots, and beggars.

Some of the better specimens may have well been sent to Spain so that the king could see for himself what fine handiwork was being done at the various mints.

Reverse: Crowned pillars over waves. Choice strike on excellent metal. On very spacious, round flan. Three dates visible. Large and impressive. Extremely Rare. NGC graded EF-45. Charles II, the last of the Spanish Habsburg kings, was weak, both physically and mentally. His mother, Mariana of Austria, served as regent for him during his minority and continued to rule after his accession to the throne. Her favoritism for Austria aroused opposition and she was forced into exile in 1677 by Charles'illegimitate brother, John of Austria. Spain continued to lose its military power and suffered a severe decline in its economy, society, and intellectual life. Spanish nobles and the clergy gained political power and were granted tax exemptions, which placed a greater burden on industry and agriculture, causing an increase in emigration. Charles had no children and named Philip of Anjou, Louis XIV's grandson, as his heir. Philip's succession, as Philip V, provoked the War of Spanish Succession (1702-1713). The war was really about maintaining the balance of power in Europe. The English, the Dutch and others did not want France to become more powerful. They feared losing valuable commercial opportunities if the French controlled Spanish possessions in America. The war ended with the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, by which Philip was recognized as king of Spain, but Spain had lost Gibraltar to England and Spain's Italian possessions and the Netherlands were given up to Austria. The treaty brought three decades of peace between the English and French.

ENLARGEMENT

3671

Bolivia. "Royal" 8 Reales, 1727 P-Y (Potosi). WR-10; KM-R35. 26.87 grams. Louis I, 1724. Crowned Cross of Jerusalem, quartering arms of Castille and Leon, all in quadrilobe. Reverse: Crowned pillars over waves. Well struck and centered, on small flan of excellent metal. Flan nice and round. Three dates visible. Legends nearly completely visible, and rare thus. A very handsome "Royal" of itself, let alone for this ephemeral king too. Extremely Rare - the rarest of all the Spanish kings. NGC graded MS-61. Philip V, the first Bourbon king of Spain, abdicated his throne in favor of his son Louis I in 1724. Unfortunately, young king Louis died the same year after a reign of only 7 months, with Philip resuming rule once more. Louis'coins are the Classic Rarity of the the vast Imperial Spanish coinages, even though the Potosi mint struck cobs in his name from 1725 to 1727. Mexico, the only other country to issue in his name, struck 8 Reales of the earlier type from 1724 to1725. To date, this is the finest 8 Reales of Louis I (Note: the holed example in Krause, p. 57, realized $30,000 in a Ponterio sale in the late 80's or early 90's). Estimated Value ...............................................................................................................................................................................................$80,000 - 90,000 Illustrated in Money of the World, coin 150.

POSSIBLY THE FINEST KNOWN 1758 SANTIAGO PILLAR DOLLAR

3697

Chile. 8 Reales, 1758 So-J (Santiago). Eliz-8; WR-1; KM-5. 26.97 grams. Ferdinand VI, 1746-1759. Pillar coinage. Crowned Bourbon arms. Reverse: Crowned globes flanked by crowned and bannered pillars, over water. Bold, even strike, with lustrous devices on reflective to prooflike fields. Splendid original surfaces and mint luster under light golden to iridescent toning. Extremely Rare. Considered the finest known specimen. The famous "Santiago Pillar Dollar." It remains one of the most sought after and prized of all Latin American coinage. It is also the only Latin American crown to actually spell out the whole name of Ferdinandus, the king. Examples coming to market remain excessively elusive; one being Superior's Auction, December 1-2, 1990 (NY), lot 551, an eye appealing Very Fine, realized $44,000. Minted from 1751-1758, less than 10 examples are known of all dates. NGC graded AU-58. Pillar Dollars were minted at various mints throughout the Americas. For those collectors trying to find a Pillar Dollar from each mint, Santiago is a major stumbling block. The Spanish colony of Chile was somewhat a forgotten stepchild, due to its relative inaccessability. Travelling overland was through harsh deserts, and travelling by sea required the long and dangerous voyage around Cape Horn. Estimated Value ...............................................................................................................................................................................................$50,000 - 60,000 Illustrated in Money of the World, coin 153. Ex Millennia, Lot 984.

Very Rare, even more so in this state of preservation. The finest known specimen. NGC graded AU-58. The mintage figures for colonial 8 Reales in Chile were far lower than most of the other Spanish colonies. Far less trade was being conducted by the Spanish. This makes this type very scarce. Estimated Value ...............................................$15,000 - 17,000 A nearly comparable example, in AU, realized $12,000 in a Ponterio sale in January of 1991; Ex-Millennia Sale, Lot 990.

An exceptional piece, very rare as an Essai, and particularly so in this stunning state of preservation. NGC graded Proof 63. No official proof issues exist from this time.

Superb blue-gray toning. Rare. NGC graded MS-64 Prooflike. Napoleon saw himself in some respects as a new Alexander the Great, conqueror of wide territories, with their disparate peoples melded under the guiding and civilizing genius of French culture. As Alexander was Greek, so too was Greek art put to the service of Napoleon's imperial vision. In fine art, we see at this time the fruition of the emerging movement of Neo-Classicism, a restrained style of almost severe purity of design, harking back to the sculptural styles of 5th and early 4th century B.C. Athens -but actually emulating the Roman reinterpretation and revival of the style which occurred under Augustus, first Emperor of Rome. On Napoleon's coins, as seen in this splendid example, this artistic idiom was realized in a number of fine, austere and dignified portraits. As Napoleon's military conquests spread over Europe, so too did his coinage. Estimated Value ...............................................$10,000 - 12,000

THE FINEST KNOWN 1746 "LIMA" CROWN

3817

Great Britain. "Lima" Crown, 1746. S-3689; Spink 3665; Dav-1350; KM-585.3. George II, 1727-1760. Old Head. DECIMO NONO on edge. Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust, left; LIMA below bust. Reverse: Crowned cruciform arms, nimbate cross at center. Sharply struck, with full mint luster beneath exquisite, long-set, deep bluish mauve toning. Scarce and historical, probably the finest known Lima crown. NGC graded MS-64. Lima-hallmarked coins of the reign of George II were struck from the Spanish bullion seized by Captain George Anson under orders from the Admiralty during his trans-global ocean voyage of 1740-1744. When 11 Spanish treasure ships captured off the Philippines were sailed back to Portsmouth and the specie taken by wagon train along crowd-filled roads to the mint at London, England had effectively seized a huge fortune via legal piracy from the Spanish, who had mined the gold and silver at Lima, Peru. Soon after, Anson became the most renowned admiral of his day -- the most decorated and most honored. Entering the navy at 15, an officer at 21, and by 27 a captain with his own ship to command, Anson was given the fortunate charge in 1740 to circumnavigate the globe, penetrate the Straits of Magellan, stir the South American colonies into revolt, and generally raise as much pandemonium with the Spaniards and their shipping as he could. His six warships were at sea for three years and nine months. While his crews were beset by the inevitable scurvy, his squadron of ships endured storms, shipwreck and furious engagement at battle, costing him five of his command's six vessels, and some 1400 of his 1900 personnel! But he captured many prizes of booty, sacked and plundered the town of Payta Bay, sank or damaged a good number of Spanish ships, and most importantly captured the long-sought Spanish trading galleon La Nuestra Se単ora de Cavadonga, which had famously plied the Spanish shipping lanes between Acapulco and Manilla. This ship's cargo totaled some 36,000 ounces of silver, and a small amount of gold. In December of 1743, Anson turned towards home, arriving at the naval yards at Spithead (near Portsmouth) on June 15, 1744. Anson would eventually ascend to the rank of First Lord of the Admiralty, would be elevated to the peerage, and would use his influence to enact or oversee needed reforms to his beloved Royal Navy. Estimated Value ...............................................................................................................................................................................................$12,000 - 14,000 Once part of a presentation set (of four silver coins) reputedly given by Admiral Anson himself to the captain of one of his treasure ships and sold in a Spink Auction, London, mid-1980s. Illustrated in Money of The World, coin 106. Ex Millennia, Lot 384.

Reverse: Crowned pillars, rhomboidal panel containing PLVS; above and between pillars, a circular incuse with cross potent within; assayer mark below, Latin-style R. Bold, well-centered strike on nearly round flan. Spots of minimal weakness; areas of contact corrosion limited mostly to one edge of both sides. Toned. Excessively Rare -- one of only 3 specimens known. Of the highest significance for the history of New World coinage. Emphasizing the experimental nature of this issue, one can discern that this coin is a test strike. Apparent in the fields are flattened designs, indicating that the present piece was overstruck on itself at least once, if not two or more times! NGC graded EF-40. Carlos and Joanna, or Johanna, issued the first coins from Europe for the New World. Johanna was the daughter of Ferdinand and Isabella, and heir to the Spanish throne. She married Philip the Handsome, and they had a son named Charles. Both Johanna's mother, Isabella, and her husband, Philip, died young. By all reports this made Johanna mentally unbalanced. Her son claimed co-regency with Johanna, and had her imprisoned in the castle of Tordesilla. He then ruled in name with her, but effectively he ruled alone. So much for filial love.

Only 3 pieces were found in a shipwreck. One is held by a collector who wants one million dollars for his example. Another brought $373,750 at a Heritage sale last year at New York. The salvage group that found the shipwreck, and who at one time had all three coins in their possession, consigned it. The winning bidder, a well-known Latin-American collector, was prepared to pay much more for this coin. At the time of the sale, there were rumors of many more known examples; thus, many major buyers did not attend the sale or bid on this important coin. Mr. Daniel Sedwick, who represented the salvage group at the sale, stated that this was the last piece from the shipwreck. Since the auction, it is now confirmed that only three of these coins are known. The discovery specimen is being offered here.

Ten years later, in 1535, Antonio de Mendoza arrived in Mexico as the first Viceroy. He began almost immediately to mint coins. Two types of coins were produced, the earlier type with no waves on the obverse (1536-1542), and the later types with the obverse waves (1542-1572. The earlier type as offered here, is far rarer.

Gibraltar is an island that was owned by Spain at the time, and is located just a few feet off the Spanish coast. In 1704, during the War of the Spanish Succession, British troops conquered Gibraltar. British ownership was confirmed by the Treaty of Utrecht, which ended the war.

FANTASTIC EXTREMELY RARE PHILIP III ROYAL 8 REALES

Mexico. "Royal" 8 Reales, No Date-MO-F (Mexico City). WR-2; KM-44.1. 27.38 grams. Philip III, 1598-1621. Crowned Hapsburg shield. Reverse: Cross quartering arms of Castille and Leon, within tressure. Exceptional strike on choice metal. Perfectly centered, on very round flan. Lovely gold and russet toning. Extremely Rare. The finest known. NGC graded AU-58. Philip III was the son of the very powerful Philip II, but he took no interest in affairs of state and left all decisions to his favorite, the Duke of Lerma (1598-1618) and then to the Duke of Uceda, Lerma's son. Philip had a reputation for extreme piety. Under the influence of Lerma, he decreed that all Moriscos (Moors who had converted to Christianity after the Christian reconquest which ended in 1492) should be expelled from Spain. This was an economic disaster, for the Moriscos were one of the few groups in Spain that did not consider work beneath them. Being in trade was not even a consideration for Spainish nobles; they were much too grand to work with their hands, and the peasants worked the nobles'lands and had no power whatsoever. The Jews had played a major role as a "middle class" in Spain, but they were expelled in 1492 by Ferdinand and Isabella. Now, in 1609, the Moriscos, who were very important to Spanish agriculture, trade, and industries, were also expelled. By practicing "ethnic cleansing," Spain hastened its own decline. The "Royals" were struck on specially selected, round planchets with special dies - the dies not necessarily having the same designs and inscriptions as those coins of the same date and mintmark in the regular coinage. Some of the better specimens may have well been sent to Spain so that the king could see for himself what fine handiwork was being done at the various mints.

ENLARGEMENT

3953

Mexico. "Royal" 8 Reales, 1723-MO-J.. WR-5; KM-47. 26.85 grams. Philip V, 1700-1746. Crowned Bourbon shield. Reverse: Cross quartering arms of Castile and Leon, within foliated tressure. Extraordinarily sharp, full strike on superb metal. Perfectly centered, on fully round flan. Artistic toning, with hints of colorful golds, russets, greens and steel blues. Extremely Rare. A marvelous example, perhaps the finest "Royal" of any Spanish king! Superb. NGC graded AU-58. Philip V was the first Bourbon king of Spain. He was a Frenchman, formerly Duke of Anjou, and a grandson of Louis XIV. Chosen by the childless Charles II to succeed him, Philip was king of Spain from 1700-1746; he abdicated in January 1724 in favor of his son Louis, but when Louis died in August of the same year, Philip took the throne again. He introduced French ideas and institutions to the Spanish court and and was much influenced by both of his wives, Maria Luisa of Savoy (1701) and Isabella (Elizabeth) Farnese of Parma (1714). Isabella took complete control of her husband's policies and was, in turn, dominated by the chief minister, Cardinal Alberoni. The attempt by the queen and Alberoni to regain the territories in Italy lost by the Treaty of Utrecht led to the formation of the Quadruple Alliance of 1718, to which Spain was forced to submit in 1720. Much of Spain's foreign policy was governed by dynastic ambition. In the War of the Polish Succession (173335), Naples and Sicily passed to Isabella and Philip's son, Don Carlos (later Charles III of Spain); in the War of the Austrian Succession (174048) Parma and Piacenza passed to Charles'younger brother Philip. Under Philip V, Spain began to recover from its economic stagnation, especially after Ensenada became chief minister in 1743 and virtually ruled the country. Ensenada tried to maintain peace and to regain Spanish independence through neutrality to both French and British policies. He instigated economic, fiscal, and administrative reforms which benefited the country. It was in large measure due to Ensenada that Philip was considered an "enlightened despot." The "Royals" were struck on specially selected, round planchets with special dies - the dies not necessarily having the same designs and inscriptions as those coins of the same date and mintmark in the regular coinage. Some of the better specimens may have well been sent to Spain so that the king could see for himself what fine handiwork was being done at the various mints.

In fact from 1500 through 1800, Bolivia, Peru and Mexico accounted for over 85 percent of the world's production and trade of silver. This huge resource helped to make Spanish coins the most commonly accepted currency in the world. The Spanish Real, or "royal," lives on today as the Rial in Oman and Yemen, and alternatively as the Riyal in Saudi Arabia. The Spanish Reales are also the basis on which most of the currencies of the English-speaking New World were originally based. In those countries, however, the already familiar word, Dollar, was preferred.

This one lasted from 1910-1917, and was essentially over the same issues as those that existed in the nineteenth century; equitable land redistribution, and true political democracy. This time the general ruling Mexico was Porfirio Diaz. He viewed himself as an enlightened despot, who won respect for Mexico and instituted economic reform and established significant world trade. However, he accomplished these ends by throttling dissent and establishing a police state. Numerous opponents stepped up to begin revolutionary activities. It is still difficult today, to separate one side from the other, since they often fought amongst themselves. The Bolita Peso was one of many revolutionary coins minted, and quite rare.

Being well and fully struck on thicker, well laminated planchets, with collars being utilized in their production, the resulting quality well exceeds even the best of the reeded edge issues.

THE FIRST CROWN-SIZE COIN OF SOUTH AMERICA

ENLARGEMENT

3981

Peru. 8 Reales, No Date (c. 1568-1571), P-R (Lima). WR-1; KM-13; Sellschopp 1; Calbeto 243; Guttag 3993; Dasi 126. (Francisco del Rincon, assayer). 26.70 grams. Philip II, of Spain, 1554-1598. Crowned arms of Castille and Leon; assayer's initial at left. Reverse: Crowned pillars over waves, motto between; value below. Choice even strike, perfectly centered on very round flan. Very fine old collection toning. Of the highest rarity, and the utmost historical interest for New World numismatics. This is among the finest of little more than a handful of known examples. It is thought that from 7 to 10 examples at most, in any grade, exist. The coin's fame and desirability rests on the fact that it was the first crown-size coin of South America. Francisco del Rincon opened the first mint in the Americas in Mexico City in 1536. NGC graded AU-55. Lima was founded by the conquistador, Francisco Pizarro in 1535. He named it the city of the kings. It became home to the Viceroyalty of Peru, and an important religious center as well. In fact, Lima was the second city of the New World behind Mexico City. Its mint was opened in 1568. The first 8 Reales coins struck there are great rarities. As stated by Wayte Raymond, "Of the greatest rarity and interest." Estimated Value ...........................................................................................................................................................................................$200,000 - 250,000 Ex F.C.C. Boyd Collection. This coin is the Wayte Raymond plate coin (F.C.C. Boyd); and so too for Dasi (copied from the Coin Collector's Journal, Jan.-Feb. 1947, page 13). This coin's only auction appearance was in the Superior A.N.A Sale, August 1975, lot 2022, selling against a $2000 estimate for an astounding, at the time, $23,000. A similar but somewhat lesser example (lot 20) sold in 1988, at the Swiss Bank Coins of Peru Auction, October 1988, for an even more astounding $120,600! Illustrated in Money of the World, coin 145. Ex Millennia, Lot 1150.

Another example, sold at auction in 1983, in the ANA "America's Sale," and fetched $28,600.
