Superb Gold Stater

12 12

Ptolemaic Kingdom - Kyrenaica, Kyrene. ca. 322-313 BC. AV Stater. EF. SNG Copenhagen 1210. 8.6gms. Obv: Nike with staff in right hand, reins in both, driving quadriga right. Rev: Zeus standing left, holding saucer in extended right hand, scepter in left; thymiaterion to left. A wonderful specimen from Kyrene, a city that was situated on the coast of North Africa. Struck just after the time of Alexander the Great, the city was under the control of Ptolemy I with Ophellas as his governor. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principle deity, Zeus, is depicted on the reverse, with a less-obvious obverse in a chariot scene that may have taken influence from earlier Sicilian coinage. The detail presentation is exceptional with a high-relief rendering. Unlike most survivors of this scarce type, the surfaces are maintained in nearly as-struck condition with the only minor detractor of note being a flan that limits full separation of Nikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head from the edge. A special item that should merit significant attention. (photo-enlarged) Est. 8,000-10,000

13 13

Ptolemaic Kingdom. Ptolemy II. 285-246 B.C. AE42. Fine. SNG Cop. 145ff. 65.6gms. Obv: Head of Zeus right wearing diadem and floral ornament. Rev: Two eagles standing left. An attractive large bronze with traces of corrosion and, as a result, numerous pits. A stunning and affordable display piece. (photo) Est. 200-400

Canada. 1947 Maple Leaf 1 Dollar, George VI. ANACS MS60. KM-37. An attractive fully prooflike specimen with sharp central detail and a razor-thin crescent of patina around portions of the obverse and reverse legends that enhances the appeal. Light wispy marks on both sides define the grade, however the eye appeal remains abundantly present. Est. 200-400

24 24

Brazil. 1847 10,000 Reis, Pedro II. VF. KM-457. A considerable scarcity as a type, with the 1847 example remaining most available given it’s relatively high mintage of 26,000 coins for the date. One edge knock is noted on the reverse, but detracts little. (photo) Est. 800-1,000

Canada. Quartet of Silver Minors. 1) 1858 10 Cents, Victoria. ICG XF40. KM-3. 2) 1858 20 Cents, Victoria. ICG AU53 Details, Cleaned. KM-4. One-year type. 3) 1872-H 25 Cents, Victoria. ICG XF Details, Scratched. KM-5. 4) 1902 10 Cents, Edward VII. ICG AU58. KM-10. [4] Est. 300-500

Canada. 1938 1 Dollar, George VI. PCGS MS63. KM-37. Frostly luster dominates the eye appeal with hints of yellow patina on both sides. Est. 150-250

Canada. 1945 1 Dollar, George VI. PCGS MS61. KM-37. The second lowest mintage date in the series with prooflike fields that are graced by intermittent peach and plum coloration. Est. 200-400

32 32

Canada. 1948 1 Dollar, George VI. PCGS MS61. KM-46. The key to the series with a scant mintage of only 18,780 coins. The surfaces remain quite attractive despite a grade that often times suggests otherwise; the surfaces are fully prooflike, few marks take the eye’s attention, and light toning in the fields isn’t distracting. (photo) Est. 1,000-1,200

33 33

Canada. 1948 1 Dollar, George VI. AU Details, Cleaned. KM-46. A key date issue with surfaces that retain essentially full sharpness, but are a bit bright from a past wipe. A scarce and collectible example that is sure to be bound for a date set. (photo) Est. 800-1,000

Canada. Partial Set of Certified Canadian Dollars. A fantastic starter set for the aspiring Canadian dollar collector with examples ranging from a 1935 dollar that has been graded MS64 by PCGS to an 1984 Toronto commemorative dollar that was graded PR67 by ANACS. Given the overall quality of the contents, we would expect competitive bidding that easily surpasses the low estimate. Sold as it, no returns. [32] Est. 700-900

Possibly Unique Brass Cuban Trial Strike

Denmark. 1864-HC//RH 2 Riksdalers. XF Details, Corroded - Cleaned. KM-772.1. A scarce large denomination issue that appears to have had longterm exposure to sea water. The surfaces have now been cleaned and show uniform brightness with telltale granularity over portions of the surfaces. Est. 200-400

46 46

France. ND (1805) Napoleon - Taking of Vienna Silver Medal. VF. Br-444. 42mm/44.1gms. By Luigi Manfredini. Obv: Unusual head of Napoleon facing left with helmet, laurel wreath around, and snake above. Rev: Mourning city goddess; MEDICLANI in exergue. Technically an Italian issue due to striking at the Milan Mint and Napoleon control of Italy at the time, but collected alongside French issues of Napoleon. Several small rim bruises are noted with delicate wear on the highpoints. Attractively toned. Ex. NASCA 5/1987, lot 1525. (photo-reduced) Est. 200-400

France. 1850-A 20 Francs. AU. KM-762. .1867oz AGW. Still radiant with minor softening of the highpoints. Est. 250-350

France. 1867-BB 5 Francs, Napoleon III. XF. KM803.2. .0467oz AGW. Luster clings to the protected devices. Est. 100-150

France. 1906 10 Francs. VF Details - Mount Removed. KM-846. .0933AGW. Primarily valuable for its bullion content with the interesting addition of a horse head counterstamp on the roosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breast. Est. 100-150

44 44

Cuba. 1977 Brass Trial Strike 100 Pesos. NGC MS65. Likeness of KM-42. Obv: Leftward facing bust of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. Rev: National arms of Cuba. A fascinating coin that features Vladamir Lenin, the Russian Marxist revolutionary, founder of the Soviet Communist Party and leader of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party during the 1917 revolution. Cubaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obvious influence to this governmental form resulted in this commemorative issue of the 60th anniversary of the Socialist Revolution. While several denominations were struck, the 100 peso type in gold was the highest, and a scant mintage of 10 coins exist. The present, a brass trial piece for that type, is, if not unique, likely just as rare as the regular issue piece that carries a $10,000 SCWC catalog value. An ideal addition for the collector of world rarites, trial pieces, or the consummate collector of Cuban coins. (photo-enlarged) Est. 1,500-2,000

Low-Mintage German Type

50 50

German States - Bavaria. 1835 1 Thaler, Ludwig I. NGC MS62 Prooflike. KM-412. DAV-578. Issued to commemorate a school given to the Benedictine Order. While the standard catalog doesn’t mention proof strikings, the present example in all characteristics appears to merit the designation - the fields are boldly mirrored, the detail is sharp, and the overall appearance, which includes light handling, suggests careful long-term collector storage. Worthy of careful study, and a premium bid. (photo) Est. 500-700

German States - Bavaria. 1893-D 5 Mark, Otto. Uncirculated. KM-512. Sharply struck with vibrant luster swirling around the fields. Est. 200-400

Germany States - Hall. 1742-PGN I.L. OE 1/2 Thaler, Charles VII. XF. KM-25. Mintage: 400. A rare type with light golden tinged surfaces that hold no significant marks that would serve to detract. While lightly circulated, most of the apparent softness is limited to Charles’ highest hair curles and appears to be a mix of gentle friction and strike incompleteness. An extremely attractive example for the grade that would fit perfectly into an advanced German type collection. (photo-enlarged) Est. 1,500-2,000

(photo) Est. 300-500 German States - Prussia. 1907-A 5 Mark, Wilhelm II. Uncirculated Details, Lightly Cleaned. KM523. Brilliant with sharp detail within the central devices.

German States - Saxony. 1763-FWoF 1 Thaler, Friedrich Christian. AU. KM-962. DAV-2677. Oneyear type. Tone-free and boldly struck with minor flattening of the central devices that defines the grade. A scarce issue as Friedrich Christian reigned for less than three months after falling ill and ultimately dying of smallpox. An ideal candidate for inclusion in a world crown collection. (photo) Est. 300-500

1950 50 Cents. NGC PR64 Cameo. A scarce date with any appreciable amount of cameo contrast. While not a significant hinderance to the unaided eye, inspection with a loupe reveals several trivial hairlines that preclude the Gem designation. (photo) Est. 400-600

1952 50 Cents. NGC PR66 Cameo. Black mirrors give way to central devices that show moderate amounts of die polish and atypical surface frost. A mostly white example with the addition of light bluegray color along portions of the reverse legends. (photo) Est. 300-500

1889-CC 1 Dollar. AU Details, Cleaned. Perhaps the most recognizable date in the Morgan dollar series series, this date not only carries the alluring CC mintmark, but for the tens of thousands of collectors that are assembling a Morgan dollar set, the 1889-CC is one of the major hurdles that need to be jumped with a relatively low mintage of 350,000 and a minimum value of around $400. The present example retains much of its original detail, and while cleaned, the surfaces have retoned to a golden-tan that holds underlying iridescence. A true prize this nicely preserved.

AUTOGRAPHS 308

309

Adams, John Quincy Sixth President of the United States (1767-1848, served 1825-32); earlier, US Minister to England and Secretary of State; negotiated the Treaty of Ghent, ending the War of 1812; largely formulated the Monroe Doctrine; after leaving office, became one of the first great vocal opponents of slavery; son of 2nd President John Adams. Interesting Autograph Letter Signed “John Quincy Adams” as US Senator, 1/2 page, 4to, Washington, January 7, 1805. He writes to JB Greaves that he has received his letter “respecting your Cause against the Boston Marine Insurance company, and shall pay all the attention to the subject in my power. I have procured from the Clerk of the Supreme Court the Copy of the papers...” Full fold split, small hole upper left, chipping at edges, with wear touching one line of text, but very clean with sharp clear writing, G/VG and will display better. The case in question was Graves & Barnewall v. Boston Marine Insurance, which had issued a ship’s policy to Graves that did not expressly cover his partner Barnewall. The Supreme Court affirmed a lower court’s finding in favor of the insurance company. Though common in presidential land documents, Adams is seen less often in letters, especially those from his brief senatorial career. (photo - page 42)

Civil War: Confederate Veterans Reunion Flag Huge ceremonial one-sided Flag, ca. 6.5’ x 10.5’, a variant of the familiar “Southern Cross” flag similar to the Army of Northern Virginia battle flag, though oblong while that flag was square. With 13 five-pointed stars white on blue saltire, all on a red field, with white outline to cross. The hand-cut stars are somewhat different from those usually seen. This flag was reportedly created for display at the Confederate Veterans Reunion held at the Joseph E. Johnston Reunion Campgrounds near Mexia, Texas, around 1925. Some minor edge tears and light stains, but remarkably Fine for its age. The reunion grounds is now a Texas state park. (photo)

Edison, Thomas Alva American inventor (1847-1931); invented or perfected many of the 20th century’s most ubiquitous devices, including the light bulb, the phonograph, and moving pictures. Very early Autograph Letter Signed “Hastily your T.A. Edison,” 3/4 page, 4to, on stationery imprinted with his name and address, Menlo Park, NJ, December 3, 1879. Soon after gaining national notice with his new phonograph, Edison writes Mr. CB Norton of Springfield, MA, “The result of the experiments you refer to is very interesting. I do not remember of hearing of any thing done in this direction before. Would you object to having your letter published in the Scientific American?” Folds, light wear at right edge, VG/F. Just a few years earlier, Edison had established his laboratory in Menlo Park with money he’d made selling his patent for a telegraph that could send and receive two signals at the same time (making four in all). At the time of this letter, Edison was about to begin demonstrating his first successful incandescent electric light bulb, which he did by the end of the year, commenting that he would “make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles.” (photo)

I understand that more than enough development work for this purpose has been done.” Edison replies, “Of course I would like to patent claims to get rid of the development work - find out what is necessary.” Staple hole and rust and file holes at top, not affecting Edison note. Handstamp at lower center. VG. Thomas Edison was infamous for the degree of care he put into protecting his patents, perhaps the most influential of which was his incandescent light bulb.

The Mutual Defense Assistance Control Act, known as the Battle Act, banned US military assistance to countries doing business with the Soviet Union, and was a linchpin of the nation’s Cold War military strategy. No doubt President Eisenhower’s determinations were the Defense Department’s specific policies concerning what nations were to be considered “out of bounds” for 1958. (photo - page 50)

Hollywood: William S. Hart American actor, writer, director, and producer (1864-1946); initially a Shakespearean stage actor, he entered movies in 1914 and became one of the screen’s first cowboy heroes, known as “Two-gun Bill.” Good content Autograph Letter Signed “Bill Hart,” 3 pages, 4to, on imprinted “William S. Hart Company” stationery, Newhall, CA, July 17, 1929. He writes Scoop Conlin of Hollywood about an interview Hart gave on “the Roach matter.” His words have apparently been misconstrued, since “after all these years of silence on my part they...seek to exploit...” He is especially upset about the effect it will have on “Rosalind and George,” who may feel he has betrayed their trust. But “Thank god the Book reviews are coming in great [Hart had just published his memoir My Life East and West] That is a great consolation. How fortunate ‘the gentlemens agreements’ do not control Books.” Light toning, about Fine. With original envelope. Hart refers to his agreement with famed director Hal Roach to produce the first “talkie” western, which was apparently quashed by MGM, Roach’s studio. When Hart made his own version, Tumbleweeds, in 1925, it was a critical success but was poorly distributed by United Artists. The financial failure led to the end of Hart’s career, and the end, for decades, of serious, realistic westerns. (photo - page 56)

Republic of Texas Frame Group. [2] An interesting pair that we have not encountered before in this format, and has the name of long-time and renowned Texas Collector William Philpott, Jr. associated with them. Philpott served as the Secretary of the Texas Bankers Association for an astounding 49 years (1914-1964), and in his role as Secretary presented these to one Preston Ivy, as is noted at lower right on the larger frame. The larger frame contains each denomination of both the Fourth and Fifth issues of notes from the Republic of Texas, and we note that each note, save the $500, is fully framed and were obviously selectively chosen for this presentation. The $500 does have a rough left edge, and would be fully framed without that issue. Each note is attached to the linen backing, and we also note that each does have the typical cut cancel, typically done when the note was redeemed. $1 (Medlar 21, Cr. A1); $2 (Medlar 22, Cr. A2); $3 (Medlar 23, Cr. A3); $5 (Medlar 24, Cr. A4); $10 (Medlar 25, Cr. A5); $20 (Medlar 26, Cr. A6); $50 (Medlar 27, Cr. A7); $100 (Medlar 28, Cr. A8); $500 (Medlar 29, Cr. A9). The smaller matching frame displays a Republic of Texas Consolidated Fund Certificate dated June 15, 1840 with five coupons that are cut cancelled and attached in some manner to the linen backing.

Famed 12½c Texas Exchequer Note One of 12 Known

880 880

TX. Austin. Republic of Texas. 12½ Cents. (Medlar 30. Cr. A10). [1843]. “Exchequer” Note. Round vignette of passenger train, left; farmers working in field with horse-drawn equipment, top center; Proserpina standing by column, right. Imprint of RWHE. The famous and exceedingly rare “Exchequer” series of notes were the last issue of the Republic of Texas, authorized by an Act of Congress on January 28, 1842. Denominations ranging from the present example up to a $100 denomination were printed and issued, with only this denomination being the most “common”, if you call a total of 12 examples common. Extensive records were kept at the Treasury for this issue, as notes were subsequently destroyed when redeemed. Out of a total issue of $150,490 between 1842 and 1845, only $13,208.29 had yet to be redeemed in 1852. The present Good-Very Good example has repairs noted on back to strengthen the edges as well as internal tears, as the vast majority of known examples have some sort of repair work to keep the thin, fragile paper together. John acquired this from Grover Criswell back in the late 1970’s. From The Collection of John C. Silvey (photo) Est. 15,000-20,000

Beautifully Preserved Texas Exchequer $5 A Collection Centerpiece

881 881

TX. Austin. Republic of Texas. $5. January 20, 1842. (Medlar 37. Cr. A17) No. 628. Sailing vessel, left; round vignette of sailor on deck, center. S. Whiting, printer. When you want to talk about rarity, look no further than this extremely rare $5 Exchequer Bill, believed to be the third presently known in existence. Another example is pictured on page 378 of Southern States Currency by Hugh Shull, and is permanently off the market, as it is housed at Southern Methodist University as part of the John Rowe III Collection at the DeGolyer Library. John actually purchased this from Grover Criswell in 1980 for $5,000, a princely sum back then. There are two stamp hinge remnants on back in the upper corners, along with a small tear repair at bottom center to note. As stated in the previous lot, only $13,208 was left unredeemed in 1852, with many of that total simply lost to the sands of time. For anyone wishes to put together a collection of Republic of Texas issued currency, this is certainly the centerpiece to build around. Fine, small repair. From The Collection of John C.

INTERIM DEPOSIT RECEIPTS During the harsh years of the US Civil War, both the United States and Confederate governments found themselves in constant need of funds in unprecedented amounts to raise, supply, and field massive armies on scales far in excess of what they expected at the outset of the conflict. This challenge was far more difficult in the South, whose new Treasury Department had hoped to fund itself with export tariffs that fell short due to state embargoes and a vast blockade by the US Navy. With little power to levy taxes, it concentrated largely on issuing bonds and paper money to pay for a long and difficult war.

936 936

Often the Confederate government found itself unable to meet the demand for printed bonds. When they could not be delivered to purchasers, the Treasury instead issued Interim Depository Receipts, certifying that bonds were due to a buyer. These receipts were issued at the interim Confederate capital in Montgomery, Alabama, and later at the capital in Richmond. They were also available from regional Assistant Treasurers in New Orleans (later moved to Jackson, Mississippi; Mobile, Alabama; Montgomery; and Meridian, Mississippi) and Charleston (later moved to Columbia, South Carolina). From early 1863, these were joined by agents called depositaries in various locations (depositories) throughout the Confederacy.

FL. Madison. $100. Apr. 30, 1864. FL-11. Richmond Type II. No. 6. Only 100 IDR’s were issued in Madison over a three month period in 1864. There are three transfer statements written on back. Fine, cut cancelled and with some pinholes noted. From The Joe C. Copeland Collection (photo) Est. 200-300

Early forms were printed in New Orleans, and then in Richmond by Ritchie & Dunnavant. Later, when it became difficult to obtain forms from the capital, local printers were permitted to create forms for their local depositories. These latter types, principally from the Trans-Mississippi region that was cut off from the rest of the Confederacy with the fall of Vicksburg, are among the rarest and most prized by collectors. 937 Little was known about these documents in the collecting world until Dr. Douglas Ball’s 1972 work Confederate Interim Deposit Receipts & Funding Certificates in the Commonwealth of Virginia was released. This work has been fully advanced now with the just-released Confederate Treasury Certificates: A Collector’s Guide to IDR’s by George Tremmel, Pierre Fricke and John Martin Davis, Jr. Their advancement of Dr. Ball’s work fully brings these slips of paper into the light of day for the collecting world – Enjoy!

1027 1027

Fr. 115. $10 1901 Legal Tender. No. A5556308. PCGS Gem New 65PPQ. The Lyons/Treat signature combination is the second of the Bison series, also one of the scarcest, with just over 100 examples reported, compared to Fr. 122 which has over 1,900 reported.

Fr. 118. $10 Legal Tender. 1901. No. D14093755, Plate C. Very Good. The red overprints have faded on this well circulated Bison that appears to have been a wallet piece at one time. Est. 300-400

Fr. 1608. $1 Silver Certificate. Late Finished Back Plate #470. 1935A. No. K20895154C, Plate J. As noted on page 34 of the Standard Guide to Small-Size U.S. Paper Money by Schwartz/Lindquist, there are currently only four notes recorded with this back plate. Records show that plate 470 was originally intended to have “micro” sized numbers, however, the plate was never completed until the BEP switched to “macro” sized numbers, which due to the times, were placed on this plate. The issue is that Plate 470 “should” have a micro number, as this falls within the range of plates that used micro numbers. This is the ONLY plate discovered on $1 Silver Certificates to be “out of range”, and, while in years past was considered possibly a trial run, exhaustive research has yielded the history of how this plate came to be used. This is, by far, the highest graded note to surface, with the previous high being a Very Fine example that sold for $3,500 in 2006. PCGS Choice About New 55 Apparent due to an small internal split at the upper right corner. Our consignor purchased this note years ago as the aforementioned Trial Piece for $1300, at a time when it was believed to be one of only two known. From The Magnolia Collection (photo)

This is both the second title and location for this charter number, as originally was the First NB of Fort Benton, chartering May 14, 1880, then moving 42 miles to the southwest and changing to the present title and location on April 15, 1891. If one is wanting to collect a denomination set of First Charters from Montana, only three people can accomplish that feat, as this is one of only three $20â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known for the entire state. This is the only example to appear at auction in the past 30 years, so for the time being this is the ONLY possibility for one to complete such a set, let alone acquire a Montana First Charter $20. Very Good, with internal separations noted along the folds at center. (photo) Est. 6,000-8,000

NJ. Atlantic City. Ch. 8800. Boardwalk NB. $10 T2. Fr. 1801-2. No. A007319. While certainly deemed a common bank with over 100 small reported, the combination of the bank name and location stir one’s imagination immediately. This Very Good example has a pinhole at left of the portrait, and the back is turning a bluish-green from being washed. Also note “310” written at left on face. Est. 150-200

NY. Croton on Hudson. Ch. 9171. First NB of Croton on Hudson. $10 T1. Fr. 1801-1. No. E000121A. This beauty of a note is new to the census, and is, by far, the finest small size reported to date, as the highest grade listed in the census is VF. This is a completely original About Uncirculated example with two corner folds. The last small size offered at auction was a VG that hammered for $4250 in 2005.

A new to the census entrant, along with the next lot, from the scarcest of the four banks that resided in the Bronx during the National Banking Era. These were kept by the family of the bank’s President - Phillip Pearlman, and are now available for the next generation to maintain. EF/AU, as these never really circulated, but were simply folded up and stored away for many years. The Claremont was only in business for two years, opening in January 1927, and closed the last day of August, 1929. A meager $1,130 was reported outstanding as of 1935, as the bank only issued a total of $270,000 in its short life span. (photo) Est. 1,500-2,000

PA. Pittsburgh. Ch.2278. Duquesne NB. $20. 1882 DB. Fr. 552. No.H285103, Plate B. A perfect example for type, as the bank apparently saved a large group of 1882 $20 2nd Charter Date Backs, as over half the known notes on the bank are of this type. This example has the initial appearance of a choice uncirculated note, but closer inspection reveals a light center fold. AU. (photo) Est. 1,500-2,000
