The August 2011 Collector’s Series Sale

Terms and Conditions of Sale This is a public auction and mail-bid sale held by SPINK, who are licensed and bonded auctioneers. SPINK may not withdraw any lot after a call for bids has been made with respect to that lot, however, the consignor of the property included in the lot (or any other lot) may bid on and purchase the lot for his/her own account. If he/she does so, he/she must pay both the seller’s commission and buyer’s premium. 1. 2.

The placing of a bid constitutes full acceptance of these Terms and Conditions of Sale by the bidder. The highest bidder acknowledged by SPINK shall be the buyer. In the event of any dispute between bidders, SPINK may, at its sole discretion, immediately put the lot up for sale again. SPINK’S decision shall be final and binding upon all bidders. A buyer’s premium equal to 20% of the successful bid price of each lot up to and including $2,000.00 and 15% of the excess bid price will be added to each invoice and is payable by the buyer as part of the total purchase price. All bids are to be per lot as numbered in this catalog. SPINK reserves the right to group two or more lots together and to withdraw, prior to call for bids, any lot(s) from the sale. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only, and SPINK reserves the right to reject any bid or advance the bidding at its discretion. SPINK may not withdraw any lot after a call for bids has been made with respect to that lot, however, the consignor of the property included in the lot (or any other lot) may bid on and purchase the lot for his/her own account. If he/she does so, he/she must pay both the seller’s commission and buyer’s premium. SPINK may have made advances and loans available to certain consignors and bidders in the sale. SPINK reserves the right to bid on any lot in the sale. Additionally, SPINK may or may not have financial interest in any of the lot(s) in the sale. All sales are strictly for cash, check and bank/wire transfer in United States dollars; However, SPINK will only accept cash payments under $10,000.00. SPINK offers clients the option of paying by credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, and Discover only) in United States Dollars for a convenience charge of two percent (2%) up to a total of $20,000.00. Credit card payments will only be accepted if (a) the purchase is made by the card holder, (b) any purchased items to be shipped are shipped to the cardholder’s verified billing address, (c) floor bidders present their credit cards and (d) all returns are governed by the terms and conditions of the sale. Payment is due and payable immediately upon receipt of the auction invoice or, if payment is to be made at the auction site, simultaneously with receipt of the purchased items. SPINK reserves the right to void a sale if payment in full of the invoice is not received by SPINK within fifteen (15) days of the date of invoice. A late charge in the amount of the lesser of 18% per annum and the maximum lawful rate will be charged on the invoice total if payment is not received within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice. All lots are subject to applicable state and local taxes, unless appropriate resale certificates are on file with SPINK. Shipping, handling and administration charges will be added to invoices for lots delivered by mail. All lots will be shipped via U.S. Express Mail to Post Office boxes, via Federal Express to street addresses, and FedEx ground for

13.

bulky large lots (in the U.S. only). Purchases shipped via FedEx will not be covered by SPINK insurance in the event that the buyer has placed a “signature release” on file with FedEx. Buyer will be responsible for total purchase price in the event of loss. SPINK cannot be and is not responsible for the loss of any merchandise shipped outside the United States and therefore insurance on any items to be shipped outside the United States is solely the responsibility of the buyer. It is also the responsibility of the buyer to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they are in his/her possession. Risk of loss shall be borne by the buyer following shipment of the items and SPINK assumes no liability for merchandise lost, stolen or damaged while in the possession of a party to whom merchandise has been shipped. In the event a successful bidder fails to pay the charges due, SPINK reserves the right to resell the merchandise and the buyer agrees to pay for the reasonable cost of such a sale including a 10% seller’s commission, and also to pay any difference between the resale price and the winning price of his/her previously successful bid. SPINK reserves the right to require payment in full before delivery of the merchandise to the buyer. Bidder personally guarantees payment, and if a corporation, an officer or principal in the corporation agrees to personally guarantee payment. Title to any purchased items remains with SPINK until all invoices are paid in full. SPINK reserves the right to await clearance of any check used for payment before delivery of any item and a $25.00 charge will be applied for any check that fails to clear. SPINK reserves the right to refuse to honor or reject any bid which, in its opinion, is not submitted in good faith, or, as the case dictates, is not supported by satisfactory references, as SPINK in its sole discretion shall determine. SPINK further reserves the right to ban any bidder from participation in its sales for any reason deemed appropriate in its sole discretion. No minors may participate in any SPINK sales. Bids will be executed for mail bidders at one advance over the next highest bid in competition with floor and/or internet bidders, until the maximum bid is executed for the mail bidder, or until the lot is sold. No buy or unlimited bids will be accepted. No additional commission (except for the buyer’s premium) is charged for executing mail bids. SPINK cannot and does not assume any responsibility for errors made in the amount bid or lot numbers listed, so check your bid sheet and online submission carefully. When identical mail bids are submitted, preference is given to the first received. SPINK may reopen the bidding on a lot under the following circumstances: (a) SPINK has failed to execute correctly a mail bid; (b) A party purchasing the lot on the floor has done so in error; (c) Where a protest is made after the hammer has fallen but before bidding has commenced

on the next lot; (d) Where the auctioneer has determined that he/she has overlooked a party still bidding on the lot but before the calling of the next lot; and (e) At the discretion of the auctioneer. In the event of a dispute, the auctioneer’s decision shall be final. Agents executing bids on behalf of clients will be held responsible for all purchases made on behalf of clients unless otherwise arranged prior to the sale. The same protections applicable to SPINK shall apply to each officer, director and employee of SPINK unless such individual shall be convicted of knowingly and intentionally selling false or stolen goods. The descriptions provided in the catalog are intended solely for the use of those bidders who do not have the opportunity to view the lots prior to bidding. All photographs in the catalog are as accurate as can be reproduced with today’s technology; however, they cannot be relied upon for exact reproduction of color. All bidders who have inspected the lots prior to the auction will not be granted any return privileges, except for reasons of genuineness. It is presumed that all floor bidders have inspected the lots prior to bidding. Therefore, lots purchased by floor bidders are sold “AS IS” and may not be returned. Floor Bidders include those bidders acting as agents for others. Additionally, SPINK reserves the right to describe items differently than the descriptions shown in the catalog should such items be consigned to any future auction. All the lots are sold as genuine. For the purpose of this sale, “genuine” is defined as not faked or forged and SPINK will not knowingly sell any item that has been “repaired’, “restored”, “processed”, “cleaned”, “pressed” or “conserved” in any way without disclosure of such facts to the potential buyer. The following conditions apply to requests for expertization of philatelic items: (a) Mail bidders are asked to advise SPINK of any extension requests at the time of placing their bids; (b) Floor bidders must advise SPINK of any extensions in writing at the time of lot settlement; (c) SPINK will submit all items so requested by successful bidders to the reputable authority of their choice; For United States stamps, the Philatelic Foundation and the Professional Stamp Experts are the accepted authorities. (d) Purchasers of items submitted for expertization must pay as part of the purchase price all charges for expertization, including postage and handling; (e) Purchasers of items to be expertized must make payment in full immediately upon purchase prior to expertizing; Refunds will be made promptly for all sums if in the unlikely event an item is returned with a negative opinion; (f) Requests for expertization of stamps with certificates dated within the last five (5) years of the sale date will not be granted; (g) No lot may be returned due to a certification service grading a stamp differently than the grade stated in the auction description; (h) No lot will be accepted as a return from expertization if the item is indelibly marked as being altered or fraudulent by the expertizing authority; and (i) No lot will be accepted as a return, for any reason whatsoever, including extension returns, after four (4) months from the sale date. Any exceptions to this time limitation must be agreed to in writing at SPINK sole discretion. No lots may be returned without a written request by the

24.

successful bidder and the written approval of SPINK. In the unlikely event of returning a lot, SPINK must receive notification of the buyer’s intent within three (3) days of the buyer’s receipt of the lot. The following lots may not be returned for any reason whatsoever: (a) lots containing ten or more items; (b) lots described as having faults or defects because of the faults described or any others, including lots described as “repaired”, “corroded”, “holed”, “whizzed”, or similar damage, except for non-authenticity; (c) illustrated lots because of centering, margins, etc. or other factors shown in the illustrations; (d) lots described “AS IS”, including third party graded coins or banknotes (i.e. PCGS, NGC, ANACS, ICG); (e) lots valued primarily for the bullion content; (f) lots examined by postal viewers; and (g) any philatelic extension lot unless the conditions set forth in Item 18 above is complied with fully. Except for lots placed on extension, as per the conditions of Item 18 above, no lots may be returned for any reason whatsoever after thirty (30) days from sale date. Late payment for purchase may, at SPINK option, be considered just cause to revoke all return privileges. If any disputes arise regarding payment, authenticity, or description between the bidder and SPINK, SPINK at its sole discretion, may submit the disputed matter to binding arbitration in Dallas, Texas, to which the bidder, by placing a bid and hereby accepting these Terms and Conditions of Sale, agrees to be bound. United States coins and currency will not, in conformity with the law, be opened at less than face value. The auctioneer reserves the right to postpone the sale by auction for a reasonable period of time as a result of any significant event which, in the sole discretion of the auctioneer, makes it advisable to postpone the event. No prospective bidder or prospective buyer shall have recourse as a result of any postponement In the event SPINK refers an invoice(s) to an attorney for collection, the buyer agrees to pay SPINK attorney’s fees, court costs, witness fees and other costs incurred by SPINK. THESE TERMS OF SALE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT GIVING REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW. THE SIGNER OF A SPINK BID SHEET OR PARTICIPANT IN THE AUCTION AGREES THAT EXCLUSIVE VENUE FOR ANY DISPUTE WITH RESPECT TO THESE TERMS OR IN CONNECTION WITH SPINK SHALL RESIDE IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN DALLAS, TEXAS. On-line Bidding — SPINK offers internet services as a convenience to our clients, but SPINK will not be responsible for errors or failures to execute bids placed on the internet, including, without limitation, errors or failures caused by (i) a loss of connection on SPINK or your end; (ii) a breakdown or problems with the online bidding software and/or (iii) a breakdown or problems with a client's internet connection, computer or system. Execution of on-line internet bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and SPINK does not accept liability for failing to execute an online internet bid or for errors or omissions in connection with this activity.

August 30, 2011 - New York, NY

Dear Clients and Friends As the new Senior Vice President at Spink Smythe, I want to welcome you to participate in our August 31st, 2011 Collector’s Series sale. As a former client, I looked forward to receiving these special catalogs that always seemed to offer a wide range of desirable items – they had something for everyone who collects coins, paper money, autographs, or stocks and bonds. In addition, I would always encounter a special collection or two. This sale carries on that tradition. The August 2011 Collector’s Series sale offers a significant selection of stocks and bonds from the former inventory of R. M. Smythe & Co., as well as other consignors. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to bid on choice single items or larger groupings, rarely seen in a public auction venue. Looking ahead, our next Collector’s Series sale, November 15th, will feature the Waldman Collection of Large Size Federal Currency, a unique Serial #1 1875 Legal Tender Note, further offerings from the former R. M. Smythe archives, and many more important numismatic properties. My goal as Senior Vice President is to make Spink Smythe your auction company of choice. If there is anything I can do to address your auction concerns, call me at 212-262-8400, or send an email to sgoldsmith@spink.com. I look forward to hearing from you. Kindest regards,

Stephen Goldsmith Senior Vice President

Foxed, with edge wear including a small tear at bottom that does not affect text, overall VG. William Heath (1737-1814) commanded Massachusetts troops at Lexington and Concord, but was removed from field command for incompetence.

Brahms, Johannes German romantic composer (1833-97); mastering and improving on classic themes and methods, he is widely considered the greatest of his era. Choice Autograph Letter Signed “J Brahms,” 2-1/2 pages, 8vo, no place, March 9, 1888. He replies to an unnamed man, “Unfortunately you neglected to enclose the details of your proposal (which does me far too much honor)...In any case, I am thinking of going to Italy in the spring, so I would be unable to participate in April or May...” He goes on to suggest that the office being offered to him may really be too much for him to take on. Toned at edges from prior display, with some edge wear readily matted out, VG. Brahms traveled to Italy every spring, and as he had already achieved artistic and financial success, this letter is no doubt a very gracious way of saying he is simply not interested in taking on unnecessary duties.

Bryan, William Jennings American statesman; Secretary of State under Wilson; member of the prosecution in the infamous Scopes trial; top populist leader of the late 19th century. Seven Autograph Letters Signed and four TLS “W.J. Bryan,” 1/2 to 3 pages, oblong 8vo and 4to, all but one on imprinted “The Commoner” stationery, Lincoln, NE [6] and Washington, IA, 1903-08 (three are undated but appear to be of the same period). All are to Mr. W.E. Vincent of Hutchison, KS, concerning the sale and exchange of livestock. Vincent trades a bull calf for one of Bryan’s heifers. One TLS signed in pencil. Amusingly, Bryan writes in May 1903 that a particular cow “gave twelve gallons of milk after the first calf, and has given as much as twenty-one gallons in a day since the second calf...” only to correct himself in September, “If I said gallons instead of quarts, it was an unintentional error...48 quarts a day is far beyond the best record, and 84 quarts would of course be fabulous...” Always a man of integrity, he offers Vincent a refund if he was misled by the error. All are age-toned, some with very scant spotting and original blotting, otherwise all VG. In these letters, Bryan shows the neighborly farmer’s perspective that earned him the sobriquet “the great commoner”. With one original envelope. [12] (photo - page 52)

Nevertheless, he is “Sent home in prize” along with the others. All are listed as having run the blockade previously. Approved by Capt “Peirce Crosby” of the USS Keystone State. Folds, soiling on verso, VG.

The story in question, widely considered Huxley’s best, had earlier been filmed as A Woman’s Vengeance. The Gioconda is better known in the United States as the Mona Lisa.

It is unclear which of the many copies that exist were made from Antonmarchi’s original mask and which are forgeries; some insist that the original mold was destroyed by the doctor to prevent the creation of unflattering images of the Emperor. The present document, written over a decade after Napoleon’s death, suggests that the doctor reconciled himself to the world’s fascination with the late conquerer - and to the profit he could make from it!

Both are John S Wright of Boston, the first saying that after Peabody’s illness “the complaint is removed and I have nearly recovered my usual strength...” He also must decline the offer of a place to stay during his visit because he has refused all others. In the second, during his last visit to his country of birth, he notes that Wright is “my OLDEST acquaintance in Boston, ourfirst meeting in Vermont having occurred 60 years ago!” Both letters VG/F.

I suggest you ask Chief Conciliator John Steelman to proceed immediately and tender his good offices toward effectuating a settlement...” Triangular stain at right, likely from envelope glue, paper clip stain left, otherwise VG. In 1943, half a million coal workers went on strike despite a pledge by United Mine Workers leader John L Lewis not to do so for the duration of World War II.

World War II: Hirohito Emperor of Japan (1901-89, reigned from 1926); the only Axis leader to remain in power after World War II. Very early Signature “Hirohito” in Japanese characters on a 12mo page tipped to an 8vo sheet. Below it is printed “H.I.H The Crown Prince of Japan, May 26th 1921.” This rare signature was thus penned during his visit to England, making him the first Japanese crown prince to travel abroad. Also with the Signature of his adoptive great uncle, field marshal Prince “Kan’in” Kotohito, in Japanese characters. Tipped to a sheet in the same manner as the Hirohito signature. Rough left edges to both mounting sheets, but autographs themselves are VG/F. Kan’in would become chief of staff of the Imperial Army, and was in charge during Nanking Massacre. Though he retired in 1940, he remained a member of the Supreme War Council that led Japan into World War II. A very scarce combination in a form that is probably unique. With an 8vo reproduction photograph of Hirohito on horseback as a young man. [3] (photo page 76)

STOCKS & BONDS Welcome to the Stock and Bond section of this Collectors’ Series Sale Number 309. You will notice that there are many quantity lots on offer and this is due to our active disposal of the old R. M. Smythe & Co. inventory, which has been in our offices for some 3 years without being seen. Spink will not be active in the retail side of the Stock and Bond business but will put all its efforts and considerable resources into building up the auctions here in America, the United Kingdom and in Hong Kong. This is not to say that Spink will not be buying material – on the contrary - we are continually searching for single items, collections and groups to satisfy the demand of our international clientele. The Smythe lots will be offered over this and the next two sales, and will be largely unreserved, which will enable us to assess the current state of the market. We aim to sell, not take the lots on a round trip to New York and back! The average sell-through rate in the Stock and Bond market has been really poor over the last few years both here in the USA and especially in Europe and we would like to see that increased considerably by the use of realistic estimates and reserves. This is a fantastic opportunity for collectors and dealers to build up their collections and inventory!

Triple Signed Ford Certificate

661 661

Ford Motor Company of Canada, Ltd, Six shares, Walkerville (now Windsor), Ontario, 1906, #88, issued to Henry Ford and signed three times by him, once as president, a second time on the stub, and a third time on the back transfer, black, red seal, VF+. Henry Ford (1863-1947) was one of America’s greatest automobile manufacturers. He started with very little in the way of resources, but managed to succeed in an industry where most of his peers were forced to give up control of their pioneering automotive enterprises to outside stock holders. In 1903, when Ford Motor Company of Michigan was founded, Henry Ford found himself in exactly that position. John Gray and ten other local businessmen and women initially controlled the company, with Gray as president. Because they wanted to manufacture and sell their cars on both sides of the U.S. and the Canadian border, a parallel company was set up in Canada and named the Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited. it was almost as highly capitalized as the American company. In the early 1900s, the automobile industry was at a very formative stage. Electric vehicles predominated in the cities, and if their batteries could only be improved, electrics would be the wave of the future. Thomas Edison went to work on that problem, while Ford took the opposite tack. Ford, along with others, improved the gasoline powered automobiles and made them more practical. As Ford became more and more successful, he was able to gain control of his own companies, and by 1906 was president of both Ford Motor Company of Michigan and Ford Motor Company of Canada. He quickly adopted a strategy that would lead to one of the greatest manufacturing successes of all time: the Model T. While other automotive pioneers wanted to offer highly diversified product lines and sell more expensive cars, Henry Ford strove to develop a single model that could be manufactured efficiently and sold at a price that everyone could afford. Ford’s theory worked brilliantly, right up to the early 1920s. Of the 16 known Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited certificates signed by Ford, our example is the only one issued to him and signed by him as president, a second time on the back, and a third time on the stub. To the best of our knowledge, there are no early Ford Motor Company of Michigan certificates available outside of the Henry Ford Museum Collection. This is the ultimate stock certificate for any advanced collection of the shares of the companies of great American capitalists issued to and signed by their founders. (photo) Est. 35,000-45,000

1861 1 Cent. NGC PR66. Mintage: 1,000. In contrast to most early Indian cent proofs, the present copper-nickel specimen holds all the quality of a carefully produced and cared-for proof. The fields, while not carrying the mirror-depth of many later issues remain smooth throughout with unmistakable reflectivity and the addition of light lilac, rose and yellow patina. Detail is needle-sharp with every feather holding full detail to the tips. The combination thereof confirms what the eye will without doubt “second” - the present is among the finest survivors for the date and is deserving of placement in high-end set.

1862 Copper Nickel 1 Cent. NGC MS66. An outstanding premium Gem example and conditionally rare in this lofty state of preservation. The surfaces, to the unaided eye appear as flawless as they must have on the day of its minting with attractive maroon patina that now adorns portions of the surfaces. As one might expect from the grade, the strike highlights pinpoint detail and beaming luster encircles the surfaces. For the specialist or collector seeking a premium type representative, the present example calls loudly. NGC Population: 16 in MS66, none finer. (6/11) (photo) Est. 2,500-3,500

1838 “Small Stars” Capped Bust 12⁄ Dime. NGC MS63. An attractive representative of this scarce “small stars” variety with frosty luster underneath swaths of earthtoned patina.

1870 1⁄2 Dime. PCGS PR65. Mintage: 1,000. Deeply toned in shades of blue, gray, and maroon with considerable pop when rotated under a light. One mark in the right obverse field, seemingly a small piece of wire that was struck-through, would likely prevent this otherwise flawless example from a finer grade. Nonetheless, certainly high-end piece that is currently resting inside a old green holder. (photo) Est. 900-1,100

1027 1024 1024

1913-S Type Two 5 Cents. NGC AU55. Gleaming semi-prooflike luster defines the eye appeal with wispy golden patina on the reverse. A decidedly highend example with no easily discernable wear on the highpoints and surfaces that are refreshingly absent of marks. (photo) Est. 400-600

1028

1914-D 5 Cents. XF. High-end for the grade level with considerable flash remaining in the pebbly fields and only minor marks that are primarily visible on the reverse. Est. 150-250

1883 10 Cents. NGC PR63. Mintage: 1,039. Noticeably reflective with a deep palate of patina that completely blankets both sides. Close inspection with a loupe reveals only light marks with and a refreshing absence of hairlines. (photo) Est. 400-600

1034

1897 10 Cents. PCGS MS66. Seldom rivaled quality for the date or type with creamy luster in the fields and a light band of eye appealing toning along the obverse peripheries. Only trivial marks are evident and the strike, as is often the case in Barber dime series, is well executed with crisp definition down to the corn kernels in the reverse wreath. Interestingly, magnification reveals a light repunching of the 897 in the date, and for the specialist, should add to the overall appeal. (photo) Est. 900-1,100

1035 1032 1032

1829 “Small 10C” 10 Cents. NGC MS64. JR-7, R.1. A highly desirable, classic type that is infrequently seen in any mint state grade, let alone as a near-Gem. The surfaces remain fully lustrous with sporadic dips of patination depth that is a testament to original surfaces. The strike remains above-average with complete definition in all but the arrows quills on the reverse. Also worthy of mention is a 5 degree clockwise rotation of the reverse die. A lovely collector coin worthy of an advanced cabinet. (photo) Est. 2,000-2,500

1876 20 Cents. Uncirculated Details, Altered Surfaces. Mintage: 15,900. Sharply defined with full star formation on the obverse peripheries as well as central devices. The luster is muted, a circumstance likely a result of having been over-dipped, with surfaces that have retoned in steel-gray and soft blue shades. A popular type due to its short-lived striking necessity for inclusion in all type sets. (photo) Est. 400-600

1892 25 Cents. PCGS MS64. Type Two Reverse. Fully original with moderate multicolored toning that strengthens toward the edges. The combination of bold luster that beams through the veil of patina, as well as minimal marks, confirms premium quality status. Scarce, and much more expensive, at the Gem level. (photo) Est. 400-600

1879 25 Cents. Prooflike Uncirculated. Plum and gold toning graces the obverse devices with prooflike fields evident on both sides that provides little contrast with the motifs. No marks are worthy of particular mention. (photo) Est. 300-500 1041 1041

1917-S Type 1 25 Cents. PCGS MS65. CAC. A delightful Gem with a nearly full strike that yields full rivets on Libertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shield and head detail that is a hair away from complete despite the absent full-head designation. The surfaces hold a pleasing, even light golden coloration with no marks worthy of individual mention. A premium quality high-end example for the grade. (photo) Est. 1,000-1,200

1795 “Three Leaves” 50 Cents. Good Details, Cleaned. A short-lived type, and certainly a favorite among collectors of early American coinage, as the design represents the first half design placed into circulation.

Still, for one assembling a type set on a budget, the present example is just about as affordable as one will find. (photo) Est. 500-700

1873 Arrows 50 Cents. Uncirculated Details, Cleaned.

1894 1 Dollar. ANACS AU Details, Cleaned. Among the most desirable Morgan dollar dates and the lowest mintage date to come from the Philadelphia Mint. The surfaces, as the grade would suggest, maintain a luster around the protected areas with light, non-distracting cleaning that defines the grade. A lovely example for the budgeted collector who endeavors to complete a set by date. (photo) Est. 1,000-1,200

1066 1066

1895-S 1 Dollar. AU. A phenomenal example of this much better date with untoned surfaces that show wear and marks that typically qualify for the AU50/53 grade level. Adding to the overall appeal is an apparent underlying prooflike reflectivity. An obvious choice for an high-grade circulated set. (photo) Est. 1,000-1,200

1067

1897-O 1 Dollar. Choice AU. Essentially white with nearly full luster remaining in the fields and just a hint of friction on Liberty’s hair and cheek that defines the grade level. Scarce at the Uncirculated level. Est. 150-250

1894-O 1 Dollar. Choice AU. On the verge of Mint State with bright surfaces that reveal only the barest trace of friction when closely inspected. Marks remain at a minimum with a shallow slide abrasion on Liberty’s cheek being the only contact worthy of individual call-out. Est. 200-400

1861 Gold 1 Dollar. PCGS PR64+ Cameo. Mintage: 349. While Mint records reflect quite a robust proof gold dollar mintage for 1861, that number is certainly inaccurate in terms of the actual number that left the Mint as later Civil War dated proofs had mintages that did not eclipse 50. Inspection of past auctions and certification service population data tends to confirm heavy melting at the Mint with specimens appearing at about the rate of one per year and grading services having seen only 32 examples in all grades. In fact, given the current number of certified pieces, and factoring in resubmissions, the population of survivors is likely in the 35-40 range at its most optimistic. The surfaces of the present example are impressively maintained with exceptional mirror depth in the bright yellow-gold fields and remarkable contrast on the devices. Careful inspection reveals a couple microscopic wisps that define the grade with a lintmark (as-struck) at the top right of the last “1” in the date that should serve as a pedigree marker. For the aficionado of proof gold coinage, the present not only qualifies as a true rarity, but also maintains the merits of exceptional eye appeal. PCGS Population: 1 in 64+, 3 finer.
