TERMS AND CONDITIONS

By participating in this auction, you (hereafter referred to as the “Bidder”) are entering into a binding contract with Sedwick & Associates, LLC (“Auctioneer”) and agree to the following Terms and Conditions:

1. Each lot will be sold to the highest Bidder unless the reserve or starting price is not met. Bids may be submitted in person or by mail, telephone, fax, email, or live on the Internet until each lot is closed during the live session. All non-live bids must be received before the auction session begins. e Auctioneer or any of its employees individually cannot be responsible for errors in bidding or the loss or delay of any bids that do not reach us by the closing date and time, or for any technical glitches that prevent internet bids from being executed. All bidders must be registered before their bids will be entered. New bidders must register 72 hours prior to the auction so that references can be veri ed, otherwise their bids may not be accepted. All bids are in U.S. dollars. THE SALE HOSTED AT AUCTION.SEDWICKCOINS.COM IS THE DEFINITIVE VERSION AND SHOULD BE CONSULTED BEFORE BIDDING FOR ANY POTENTIAL CHANGES, CORRECTIONS, OR UPDATES.

2. Winning bids will be reduced automatically by the iCollector platform to the next increment above the second-highest bid. In the case of tie bids, the earliest bidder will win the lot. Bidders are advised to provide allowable percentage increases to avoid losing lots due to a tie.

3. A winning bid is a contract between the winning Bidder (hereafter referred to as the “Buyer”) and the Consignor. e Buyer, even if acting as an agent for someone else, agrees to purchase the lot(s) he has won and to pay the Buyer’s Premium and any shipping costs, sales tax, bank-wire fees, customs duties, or other surcharges involved in delivering the lot(s) to the Buyer. Certain lots (particularly artifacts) may require special packaging and handling, for which a surcharge will be levied (also note shipping calculations will delay invoicing). In some special cases delivery may be arranged directly between the Consignor and the Buyer, at the buyer’s cost. At no time shall the Buyer have any legal recourse against the Consignor for any reason. Buyers will be noti ed as soon as possible after the auction with an invoice re ecting the total amount due and shall remit payment within 15 days of the invoice date. Buyers who do not receive noti cation for whatever reason are NOT released from their obligation to pay on time. If payment has not been received within these terms, the Auctioneer reserves the right to sell the lot(s) to any under-bidders for their lower bid amounts. If the winning bidder provides a credit card before the sale, Sedwick & Associates, LLC reserves the right to charge the credit card for the total of the auction purchases if payment has not been received within thirty (30) calendar days. Title to each lot does not pass until the item has been paid in full. Any late payments (30 days past invoice date) will be assessed an accrued interest charge of 5% per month.

4. Lot pickup will be available after the auction (not during). Any lots not picked up in person (unless other arrangements are made) will be sent to Buyer via U.S. Mail when the invoice has been paid in full. All domestic shipments will carry full insurance, but foreign shipments are made at the Buyer’s risk (insurance available in some cases such as shipping internationally via FEDEX). Sedwick & Associates, LLC is responsible for loss or damage to lots only up until they are received at the address to which they are sent; any transshipment from there is the buyer’s responsibility alone. Any special instructions for shipping, delivery, or payment must be in writing (letter, fax, email or text) and will be e ective only upon con rmation by us (verbal requests may not be honored). Generally, lots will be shipped in the order in which they are paid.

5. Due to UK regulations regarding VAT collection on international purchases, we are no longer able to ship orders under £135 to the United Kingdom.

6. A Buyer’s Premium of 20% will be added to the winning bid for the total purchase price before any applicable taxes, fees, or surcharges. Any payments by credit/debit card will incur a 2% surcharge on the total; payments by PayPal will include a 4% surcharge. A re-acquisition charge, possibly di erent from the Buyer’s Premium, may be applied to lots won by consignors of those lots under reserves via separate agreement.

7. Acceptable forms of payment are cash, check, e-check, money order, wire transfer, direct deposit, PayPal, Zelle, Visa/MC, American Express, and Discover. All payments by check or money order should be made payable to Sedwick & Associates, LLC. Payments per auction and per buyer are limited to the following amounts: PayPal and Zelle (to auction@sedwickcoins.com), $2,500; credit card, $10,000; checks, $100,000 (must be paid via wire beyond that). All payments shall be in U.S. dollars drawn on a U.S. bank. Please contact us for instructions for wire-transfer payments, for which bank charges may be necessarily added to the amount to be paid, generally depending on the country from which the wire originates. Note: Overseas/international wires are not allowed for amounts below $1,000.

8. New bidders who do not have established credit with us must supply commercial references in the numismatic eld and/or a 25% deposit. Credit cards are acceptable in lieu of a deposit. If your bids are unsuccessful, your deposit will be refunded, but if you are a winning bidder, your deposit will be applied to your purchase unless other arrangements are made. Bids may not be accepted from any bidder who has a past due balance with Sedwick & Associates, LLC.

9. Bidders have several options for bidding method: Bids prior to the auction may be submitted by mail, fax, email, or in person, or by bidding online directly on iCollector or via NumisBids. During the live auction, bids may be executed only in person, online directly on iCollector, or by phone by prior appointment. Phone bidding is o ered only as a courtesy and we do not guarantee any line condition or accessibility during or before the auction. You must remain available to receive our call when the lots you wish to bid on come up. Proxy bidders (prior to live) have the option of preemptive bidding, in which our system will place a full maximum bid amount during live bidding when the asking price is a single increment under the maximum bid, which means it might skip and move to the maximum bid during live bidding, even if past the increment. Preemptively bidding at your maximum protects you by using your full maximum to prompt one increment higher from your competition. Example: Your secret maximum is $500 with $25 increments, starting at $425, and someone has bid against you at $450. Normally your bid would be increased to $475, but with preemptive bidding the system will place your maximum amount of $500 so that your maximum will not be tied by the next bid. is preemptive bidding only occurs when the asking price is a single increment below your maximum. As always, a higher bid amount can still outbid you.

10. Most lots are unreserved, but some lots do have a reserve or minimum bid assigned by the consignor. Any reserve will generally be at or below the stated low estimate and starting price. All estimates are given in U.S. dollars. is is not an absolute sale. Some lots may have a reserve or minimum bid assigned by the consignor and/or via direct bidding by the consignor under prior agreement, for which notice is heby given in accordance with 2023 Florida Statutes subsection 672.328(4). All estimates are given in U.S. dollars.

11. As an active dealer, Sedwick & Associates, LLC is able to estimate a reasonably low wholesale level for each lot and reserves the right to reject any bids below this level (generally at least 70% of low estimate). Furthermore, we reserve the right to reject any bids that we have reason to believe are not submitted in good faith. Starting bids are provided on iCollector when the auction is published, and bids below those starting bids cannot be entered. Prices realized do not necessarily re ect accurate market values so much as what the high bidder is willing to pay based on their own needs.

12. All items are guaranteed genuine and as described. Sedwick & Associates, LLC does NOT guarantee that any lots can be successfully encapsulated. Auctions are NOT approval sales, and therefore returns will NOT be accepted UNLESS there was an error in the listing.

Treasure, World, U.S. Coin and Paper Money Auction 38

Live on the Internet, Thursday-Saturday, November 13, 14, & 15, 2025

This auction brings together one of the most complete and exciting selections we have ever offered, combining important named collections with individual rarities from all across the world of numismatics. The result is a sale that captures the full story of coinage in the Americas and beyond. As usual, it is consignors and bidders who make this possible, so we thank you all!

Our business was built on cobs and shipwreck treasure, for which we remain the world’s foremost experts, so it is no surprise that this auction is loaded with shipwreck ingots, coins, and artifacts. We run a very clean operation—everything is checked carefully for proper provenance and certification, and in most cases the material we offer comes straight from the source. In fact, our auctions are better than buying from the source directly, as everything we sell is guaranteed and certifiable at any time. In today’s fly-by-night world, this is a critical difference.

First, it is our privilege to present the Sedwick-Downing Collection of Charles-Joanna Coinage of Mexico City, the result of more than a decade of study and collecting. What began as curiosity grew into a deep passion for the beauty, history, and meaning behind the first coins of the New World. This catalog marks an important milestone in that journey, with the full publication of Cori’s research to follow soon.

For this auction, we hit the ground running with the McGregor Collection of Gold Cobs from the 1715 Fleet, a vivid reminder of the beauty and adventure tied to Spanish colonial treasure. While this collection showcases a full range of denominations of gold cobs from Mexico City (including a fabulous Royal-dies 1714 8 escudos) and Lima, it also contributes to significant offerings from Cuzco and Cartagena, the latter including a coin that will be featured in Daniel Sedwick’s upcoming book, Arce’s Doubloons

Of course, our treasure coverage is certainly not limited to Spanish colonial cobs. In fact, in this sale we feature all of the famous United States shipwrecks, namely S.B. Pulaski (1838), S.S. New York (1846), S.S. Central America (1857), S.S. Brother Jonathan (1865), and S.S. Republic (1865).

Highlighting our usual silver-cob offerings are several key collections, in addition to the aforementioned Sedwick–Downing Collection. In Lima cobs you will find the Jorge Ugaz Collection of Lima Cob 2 Reales, and in Guatemala cobs is the Darby Collection of Guatemala Cobs, both the result of decades of study and selectivity by devoted specialists. As always, “Royals” (galanos) steal the attention in all three cob sections (Mexico, Lima, Potosí), including a unique Mexican 4 reales Royal dated 1612/1, expanding the cob market into a rarified level of special pieces for truly dedicated collectors.

Outside of cobs, this auction presents an enviable selection of Latin American trophy coins, including two concentrated collections in Chile (the Val y Mexía Collection of Chilean Bust 4 Reales) and Peru (the Almenara Collection of Peruvian Republic Gold Coins), plus key rarities in Spanish colonial pillar dollars (Mexico 1732 and Nuevo Reino 1759), Cuba (unique Guanabacoa medal dated 1747 plus many rare or unique modern proofs), Dominican Republic (10 reales silver pattern 1855), and Panama (1904 proof set), and a veritable panoply of types from around the world, not just the Americas (including some key U.S. coins) but also Europe, Asia, and even Africa. The mix extends from ancients and early hammered types to classic milled crowns and gold issues, all the way to modern proofs, and every section offers key pieces selected for rarity and quality in a range that rarely appears at auction.

The other side of numismatics is paper money, and in Latin America we continue a strong auction presence, here with a selection of incredibly rare and high-grade Dominican Republic notes issued between 1857 and 1865, all new to the market.

Finally, our auctions are unique for offering treasures in coin jewelry and shipwreck artifacts in a wide range of time periods (over two centuries), particularly from the Atocha (1622), Concepción (1641), Bannister’s pirate ship Golden Fleece (1686), 1715 Fleet, and S.S. Central America (1857).

As yet another exciting auction from the Sedwick company, this one is sure to get everyone’s collecting juices flowing, demonstrating that numismatics and treasure transform history and artistry into excitement and positive human collaboration, something our world can surely use more of today.

With thanks from the Sedwick & Associates, LLC team: Daniel Sedwick, Agustín (Augi) García-Barneche, Cori Sedwick Downing Michelle Heidt, Connor Falk, and Sarah Sproles

A NOTE ABOUT THE ORDER

As the world’s leading purveyors of New World cobs and shipwreck coins, we have always separated and highlighted our cob and shipwreck o erings from the rest of what we sell. We have preserved that arrangement in our auctions as well, with cobs presented in order of establishment of each mint and the shipwreck coins, ingots and artifacts presented in chronological order by wreck.

SHIPWRECK HISTORIES

Please visit our website at www.sedwickcoins.com/wreckhistory.pdf for brief historical backgrounds on the various shipwrecks in this auction.

COIN GRADING and DESCRIPTIVE TERMS

From best to worst, UNC is Uncirculated, AU is Almost Uncirculated, XF is Extra Fine, VF is Very Fine, F is Fine, VG is Very Good, and G is Good, with Fair and Poor below that.  (“About” or “A” means the coin is just shy of the indicated grade.  Mint State refers to lustrous, choice UNC coins.) We do not always assign numismatic grades to sea-salvage and land-burial coins, which were usually Uncirculated (or close to it) before the e ects of corrosion and/or cleaning. Corrosion is usually assessed, from least to most, as follows: none, minimal, light, moderate, and heavy. Also note that we sometimes use the abbreviations E for escudos and R for reales in the listings for Spanish and Spanish colonial items.

A NOTE ABOUT PHOTOS

Coin photos in this catalog are generally shown at actual size, with the exception of large lots, which are often reduced, as are most medals, paper money, artifacts, documents, artwork and media. Photos of coins in the most recent NGC capsules have four white intrusions into the rims of the coins due to a special design meant to enable viewing of the edges of those coins.

We encourage bidders to contact us if they have any questions or would like additional photos or videos of any lot in our auction.

Inquiries can be sent through the auction site or by emailing us at o ce@sedwickcoins.com.

From the 1715 Fleet, with Philip Flemming photo-certificate and plated on page 10 of his article “ arieties of the 1714 Mexico City 8 Escudos” in the June 2014 issue of the ournal of the .S. Mexican Numismatic Association, pedigreed to the McGregor Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $15,000-$22,500.

15. E C , exico City, gold cob 8 escudos, 1714 , C S 63 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), Sedwick Plate. S-M30; Cal-2213; KM-57.2; Fr-6. 26.78 grams. Round flan with superb full shield despite graininess from progressive die-rust that eventually killed this die (see next lot), bold full date and oMJ and denomination VIII (but typically beveled periphery), full but off-center cross (harboring tiny patches of gray coral) with metal extending past the outer border of dots as a result, muted luster, rich yellow color. NGC #8228458-001. From the 1715 Fleet, Plate Coin on page 80 of the 2nd edition (1990) of The Practical Book of Cobs (stated on label). Estimate: $15,000-up.

16. E C , exico City, gold cob 8 escudos, 1714 , struck with Royal dies (both sides), ery rare, C S 63 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), finest and only example in C census, ex- c regor, Flemming Plate. S-M30; Cal-unl; KM-57.2; Fr-6. 26.92 grams. Rich gold color with muted luster, very choice full cross-and-tressure, the shield also full but very slightly doubled at top left below a choice full crown, bold date in legend and clear oMJ and VIII, the peripheries partially flat and/or beveled as usual but the details clearly sharper than normal and with special elements (like “daggers” in the tressure-dimples) indicative of Royal dies, which Flemming catalogs as Variety 5 and describes as evidence of a stopgap measure after the regular-production dies had failed, now clearly desirable beyond the level of a “normal” 1714, one of only three known by our records. NGC #3641316-001. From the 1715 Fleet, with Philip Flemming photo-certificate from 2014 and plated on page 11 of his article “ arieties of the 1714 Mexico City 8 Escudos” in the June 2014 issue of the ournal of the .S. Mexican Numismatic Association (offprint copy included), pedigreed to the McGregor Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $40,000-up.

Session I - November 13, 2025, 9:30 AM EST

17. E C , exico City, gold cob 8 escudos, 1715 J, NGC MS 62 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), exMcGregor. S-M30; Cal-2214; KM-57.2; Fr-6. 27.04 grams. Incredibly bold strike, especially the 100% full shield and oMJ, with brilliant luster over light yellow color all over, the cross practically full as well (just a part of the tressure flat), and with clear bottom half of date with odd piece of extra metal between the 17 and the 15, some peripheral beveling (as made) as usual, a very eye-catching piece overall. NGC #3974317-004. From the 1715 Fleet, with Philip Flemming photo-certificate from 2015, pedigreed to the McGregor Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $15,000-up.

18. E C , exico City, gold cob 8 escudos, 1715 J, NGC MS 62 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label). S-M30; Cal-2214; KM-57.2; Fr-6. 26.72 grams. Good luster and depth of strike for this date, with choice full cross-and-tressure and crown, full but doubled shield and denomination VIII, bold oMJ, clear 15 and bottom of 7 of date (also slightly doubled), slightly more lustrous and less matte than usual for this popular date. NGC #8415475-001. From the 1715 Fleet, pedigreed to the ico auction of March 2003, with original lot-tag 68. Estimate: $15,000-$22,500.

Cob 4 escudos

19. E C , exico City, gold cob 4 escudos, 1680/79 L, Jeweled Cross (1680-98), unique, PCGS A 55, ex-1715 Fleet. S-M29; Cal-939 var (Type 163); KM-54; Fr-3. 13.41 grams. This important coin represents the first known gold issue of the Mexico City Mint, as it bears a visible date of 168 with a digit 7 under the 8, hence 1680/79 (not specified on label). While it is known from documents that gold began production in 1679, only one coin has been attributed to that date (a 1 escudo), and an article by Philip Flemming in the March 2013 issue of the U.S. Mexican Numismatic Association’s Journal proves that that coin is of a later style. No other 1680s in any denomination are known, let alone the overdate 1680/79 as we see here. The “jeweled” cross and shield are bold and full, as is the oXML, with most of the peripheries flat and showing blunted edge-points (as made), light yellow in color and somewhat lustrous. PCGS #52752901. From the 1715 Fleet. Estimate: $15,000-up.

20. E C , exico City, gold cob 4 escudos, 1713 , C S 64 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), ex- c regor. S-M30; Cal-2028; KM-55.1; Fr-7a. 13.52 grams. Spectacularly deep strike with what Flemming describes as “unimprovable luster and color,” very choice and 100% full date and oXMJ to left of off-center shield with equally bold and nearly full crown above, the cross also bold but off-center, no doubt one of the best examples known for this date. NGC #8411175-003. From the 1715 Fleet, with Philip Flemming photo-certificate from 2016, pedigreed to the McGregor Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $10,000-up.

21. E C , exico City, gold cob 4 escudos, 1713 , C S 64 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label).

S-M30; KM-55.1; Cal-2028; Fr-7a. 13.47 grams. Very bold full oXMJ to left of full shield that is just off-center enough to allow for a clear bottom part of the date 1713 to be visible, the cross also full and bold but off-center, all details super sharp from the choice grade, with traces of pinkish coral in crevices, the peripheries typically beveled and filed at the mint. NGC #8413191-001. From the 1715 Fleet, with Sedwick photo-certificate. Estimate: $7,000-$10,000.

22. E C , exico City, gold cob 4 escudos, 1714 , C S 64 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), ex- c regor. S-M30; Cal-2029; KM-55.2; Fr-7a. 13.45 grams. Lustrous and sharp, the choice grade being only half the story, as its strike is exceptional, with the nearly full and well-detailed shield just off-center enough to allow for a bold full 14 of the date while retaining a full oMJ and almost all of the denomination IIII, plus with a very choice full crown on top to boot. The perfectly centered cross-and-tressure is even better, earning this statement from Flemming: “I have never seen another Mexican media onza with [such] complete cross, fleurs and tressures.” NGC #8411175-002. From the 1715 Fleet, with Philip Flemming photo-certificate from 2015, pedigreed to the McGregor Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $8,000-$12,000.

Cob 2 escudos

23. E C , exico City, gold cob escudos, 1713 , C S 63 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), “top pop,” ex- c regor. S-M30; Cal-1886; KM-53.1; Fr-7b. 6.75 grams. Curiously oblong flan oriented in the best possible way to show a complete date and oXMJ while also retaining a choice full shield and denomination II as well as a perfect full cross (for the type), all bold and rich in color, currently tied with two others for finest in the NGC census but Flemming says “by far the finest.” NGC #3833337-001. From the 1715 Fleet, with Philip Flemming photo-certificate, pedigreed to the Superior auction of June 1976 (lot 2488) and to the McGregor Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $6,000-up.

24. E C , exico City, gold cob escudos, 1714 , C S 65 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label). S-M30; Cal-1887; KM-53.2; Fr-7b. 6.74 grams. Exceptional grade with high luster, supercrisp details and not even a hint of wear, the well-centered full cross as choice as they come, with full but slightly off-center shield, full oMJ, and clear date, all on a thick and somewhat oblong flan. NGC #8409181-002. From the 1715 Fleet, pedigreed to Sedwick Auction 19 (lot 7). Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.

25. E C , exico City, gold cob escudos, 1714 , C S 64 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), ex- c regor. S-M30; Cal-1887; KM-53.2; Fr-7b. 6.70 grams. Bold full oMJ and nearly full date outside of choice full shield, choice and well-centered cross-and-tressure, nice round flan with beveled periphery on reverse (as made), lustrous and rich in color. NGC #4241405-002. From the 1715 Fleet, with Sedwick photo-certificate, pedigreed to the McGregor Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.

26. E C , exico City, gold cob escudos, 1715 , rare, C A 58 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label). S-M30; Cal-1888; KM-53.2; Fr-7b. 6.71 grams. Choice full cross-and-tressure (slightly off-center), nearly complete shield with full oMJ to left inside bottoms of digits of date, which is rare and desirable as the date of sinking (in fact one of only five graded by NGC, compared to more than 50 of the date 1714), nice contrast from dark sediment in crevices. NGC #8414151-001. From the 1715 Fleet. Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.

Cob 1 escudo

27. E C , exico City, gold cob 1 escudo, 1701 (L), posthumous Charles , extremely rare, C S 6 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), finest and only example in C census. S-M29; Cal-833; KM-50 (as 1/0); Fr-5. 3.29 grams. Choice grade, rich gold color with hint of red toning and luster, but struck a bit offcenter, resulting in a 100% full crown (rarely seen thus) with full final 1 and curved right side of 0 of date, nearly full cross, typically flat peripheries. We can locate only two other examples in our records, both of which are impounded in permanent collections (State of Florida and Banco de Mexico). NGC #8415475-003. From the 1715 Fleet. Estimate: $5,000-up.

28. E C , exico City, gold cob 1 escudo, 1711 , mintmark o , crosslet cross, rare, C A 55 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), finest known in C census. S-M30; Cal1735; KM-51.1; Fr-7c. 3.32 grams. Clear date outside of full oMXJ and full shield (a bit crude per the type), well-centered full cross, effectively a one-year type with that mintmark and rarely encountered with a clear date. NGC #6889409-006. From the 1715 Fleet. Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.

29. E C , exico City, gold cob 1 escudo, 1711 , mintmark oXM, crosslet cross, rare, NGC AU 53 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label). S-M30; Cal-1735; KM-51.1; Fr-7c. 3.29 grams. Clear bottom half of date outside of oXMJ and 100% full shield and crown, clear denomination I (on its side) to right, choice full crossand-tressure, well centered and lightly red-toned, a one-year type with mintmark oXM and crosslet cross, rarely seen with visible date. NGC #8415475-002. From the 1715 Fleet. Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.

30. E C , exico City, gold cob 1 escudo, 171 , mintmark o , rare, C S 6 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), finest known in C census. S-M30; Cal-1737; KM-51.2; Fr-7c. 3.36 grams. Boldest full date imaginable (rarely seen), the oMJ bold too (a two-year variety), the shield and cross choice and full as well but offcenter, finest at NGC for this date and denomination by FOUR grades. NGC #8409181-001. From the 1715 Fleet, pedigreed to Sedwick Auction 18 (lot 8). Estimate: $6,000-$9,000.

31. E C , exico City, gold cob 1 escudo, 1713 , mintmark o , rare, C S 61 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), ex- c regor. S-M30; Cal-1738; KM-unl (51.2 for type); Fr-7c. 3.36 grams. Exceptionally bold full date (rare thus) above clear oMJ, nearly full crown and most of shield, the cross also nearly full but a bit crude, off-center strike, lustrous and light yellow in color. NGC #4625841-001. From the 1715 Fleet, with Sedwick photo-certificate, pedigreed to the McGregor Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.

32. E C , exico City, gold cob 1 escudo, 1714 , date 17 4 with for second 1, ery rare, C S 64 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), “top pop,” ex-Real Eight, ex- c regor. S-M30; Cal-unl (Type 207); KM-unl (51.2 for type); Fr-7c. 3.27 grams. Dainty full shield with bold oMJ and clear date with penultimate digit clearly a J punch but first digit clearly an I (despite the NGC labeling as “J’s in date”), one of just two in the NGC census (both at same grade) and among only three or four known, the cross-and-tressure also complete and sharp, lustrous all over. Flemming attributes this strange variety to die sinker incompetence, noting that the same person was responsible for the mismanaged 1714 8 escudos designs with GRAT, date over GRAT, Royal dies, and other oddities. NGC #8411175-001. From the 1715 Fleet, with Philip Flemming photo-certificate from 2016, pedigreed to the Real Eight Co. (Schulman auction of November 1972, lot 446) and to the McGregor Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $6,000-$9,000.

33. E C , exico City, gold cob 1 escudo, 1714 , C S 64 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), ex-Real Eight. S-M30; Cal-1739; KM-51.2; Fr-7c. 3.38 grams. Highly lustrous and choice, with bold full oMJ and shield and cross, clear date, smallish flan, light yellow color. NGC #8409181-003. From the 1715 Fleet, pedigreed to the Real Eight Co. consignment to the Schulman auction of November 1972 (lot 482). Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.

34. E C , exico City, gold cob 1 escudo, 1714 , C S 63 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label). S-M30; Cal-1739; KM-51.2; Fr-7c. 3.33 grams. Very sharp full shield and cross, full oMJ and denomination •I• (upright), bottom half of date, lustrous and attractive with hints of red toning, tiny cracks in edge (as made). NGC #8415475-004. From the 1715 Fleet. Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.

Choice full cross and shield with full oMJ and bottoms of digits of date (slab label says [1714]), slightly off-center strike on a nicely round flan, lustrous and choice despite the trivial marks on the edge pointed out by NGC. NGC #8485480-001. From the 1715 Fleet. Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.

Lima, Peru

Cob 8 escudos

36. PER , Lima, gold cob 8 escudos, 1709 , legend ending in H SPA A, rare, C S 6 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), ex- c regor. S-L28; Cal-2116; KM-38.1; Fr-7. 26.90 grams. Perfectly centered strike with choice full cross-lions-castles and pillars-andwaves plus nearly full legends including complete PHILIPPVS V (the ordinal quite prominent), also choice full crown, muted luster, traces of encrustation in crevices. NGC #8411272-001. From the 1715 Fleet (recovered by “Mo” Molinar on the Douglass Beach site in 1988), with Sedwick photocertificate and Philip Flemming photo-certificate from 2013, pedigreed to the McGregor Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $15,000-up.

37. PER , Lima, gold cob 8 escudos, 1711 , C S 63 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), ex-Katz (co er coin), exMcGregor. S-L28; Cal-2119; KM-38.2; Fr-7. 26.86 grams. Good luster and mostly bold strike, with full cross-lions-castles and pillars-and-waves (very slightly doubled), particularly bold (R)EXANO to left of nearly full crown, well-centered strike. Regarding its pedigree, Wallace Katz was an active collector in Las Vegas and no doubt appreciated this coin for its 7-11 date, as mentioned by Flemming on his certificate. NGC #3910827001. From the 1715 Fleet, with Philip Flemming photo-certificate from 2019, pedigreed to the Wallace atz Collection (Morton & Eden auction of May 2010, lot 219, pictured on the catalog cover) and to the McGregor Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $15,000-$22,500.

38. PER , Lima, gold cob 8 escudos, 171 , flipo er double-strike, C S 64 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), exMcGregor. S-L28; Cal-2120; KM-38.2; Fr-7. 26.83 grams. Very rich in color and choice in grade, with 100% full interior details and lots of legend on a broad flan, perhaps most interesting for the fact that D.G. from the cross side appears above the crown on the pillars side and NDIAR from the pillars side appears at about 9-12 o’clock on the cross side due to a rare flipover double-strike, also with very bold full PHILIPPVS and bold full 712 second date in the legend. NGC #3641365-001. From the 1715 Fleet, with Philip Flemming photo-certificate, pedigreed to the McGregor Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $25,000-$37,500.

39. PER , Lima, gold cob 8 escudos, 171 , C S 61 015 Douglass Beach Find (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label). S-L28; Cal-2120; KM-38.2; Fr-7. 26.97 grams. Broad flan with much legend including full king’s name and bottoms of 12 of date, bold full pillars-andwaves and cross-lions-castles (both well centered), somewhat lustrous and with traces of encrustation, rusty-die surfaces. NGC #8411544-001. From the 1715 Fleet. Estimate: $15,000-$22,500.

40. PER , Lima, gold cob 8 escudos, 1714 3 , rare, C S 6 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), finest known in C census, ex- c regor. S-L28; Cal-2123; KM-unl 38.2 for type); Fr-7. 26.93 grams. Good full cross-lions-castles and pillars-and-waves, both well centered on a smallish flan (still with much legend visible, somewhat reddish in toning over rather muted luster, clear overdate. Based on documentation quoted by Flemming, all Lima 1714’s on the 1715 Fleet had to have come from a private merchant shipment, and are accordingly rare, with only three appearing in the NGC census (this being the finer of just two with 4/3 date). NGC #4484639-003. From the 1715 Fleet, with Philip Flemming photo-certificate from 2021, pedigreed to the Swiss Bank Corp. auction of September 1996 (lot 2083) and to the McGregor Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $20,000-$30,000.

41. PERU, Lima, gold cob 8 escudos, 1728 N, NGC AU 55. S-L29; Cal-2141; KM-38.2; Fr-7. 26.75 grams. Very bold full pillars with both dates fully visible on that side (rare, hence the inward shift of the legend date due to doubling). Cross-lions-castles design also full, though slightly off-center. Light toning in crevices. Currently tied with one other for second finest in the NGC census, with only five pieces recorded in total. NGC #8300058-002. Estimate: $12,500-$20,000.

Cob 4 escudos

42. PERU, Lima, gold cob 4 escudos, 1709 M, rare, NGC

S 63 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), finest known in C census, ex- c regor. S-L28; Cal-2003; KM-unl (37 for type); Fr-8. 13.43 grams. Fabulously lustrous but a little soft in strike, with full pillarsand-waves and cross-lions-castles that are just off-center enough to create a full king’s name PHILIPPVS, the best we have seen or heard of. NGC #4485214-002. From the 1715 Fleet, with Sedwick photo-certificate, pedigreed to the McGregor Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $15,000-up.

43. PERU, Lima, gold cob 4 escudos, 1710 H, rare, C S 6 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), ex-Real Eight, ex- c regor. S-L25a; Cal-2004; KM-37; Fr-8. 13.48 grams. Superb full cross-lions-castles with every detail sharp, also bold full pillars-and-waves (slightly off-center) with 1 of date punched over a circular area that is likely an erasure of a 0 in the die, along with a possible 0/0 or 0/9 for the final digit (hence could be a unique and unlisted 1710/09 overdate), muted luster and rich gold color. NGC #3354513-004. From the 1715 Fleet, with Sedwick photocertificate, pedigreed to the Real Eight Co. (Schulman auction of November 1972, lot 593, also Christensen auction of December 1981, lot 790) and to the McGregor Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $10,000-up.

44. PERU, Lima, gold cob 4 escudos, 1712 M, rare, C S 63 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), “top pop,” ex- c regor. S-L28; Cal-2006; KM-37; Fr-8. 13.34 grams. Rich redgold color and muted luster, with very bold and well-detailed cross-lions-castles, bold but slightly off-center pillars-and-waves, some bold legend, tied with one other for finest in the NGC census. NGC #2702212-010. From the 1715 Fleet, with Sedwick photo-certificate, pedigreed to the McGregor Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $20,000-up.

45. PERU, Lima, gold cob 4 escudos, 1750 R, mule with 8E cross side, NGC MS 62 (Shipwreck Blue Label), ex-Luz (175 ). S-L31; Cal-692; KM-A47; Fr-13. 13.42 grams. Bold strike with choice full cross-lions-castles (oversized as from an 8E die), slightly off-center full pillars with 0 of date bold but offset from rotated double-strike (localized), red toning over luster in fields. NGC #8415494-001. From the Luz (1752). Estimate: $10,000-$15,000.

46. PERU, Lima, gold cob 4 escudos, 1750 R, NGC MS 63 La Luz (Shipwreck Blue Label). S-L31; Cal-690; KM-A47; Fr-13. 13.52 grams. Compact flan with sharply detailed and well-centered full cross-lions-castles and pillars-and-waves with clear date, lightly toned all over. NGC #8228488-001. From the Luz (1752). Estimate: $7,500-$11,000.

Cob 2 escudos

47. PERU, Lima, gold cob 2 escudos, 1709 M, NGC S 65 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), “top pop,” exMcGregor. S-L28; Cal-1827; KM-36; Fr-9. 6.75 grams. Highly lustrous with very sharp, crisp details in the full cross-lions-castles and pillars-and-waves, also with choice 100% full crown with bold (R) EXA to its left (proving at least the intent to put a second date in the legend that early, the A standing for ANO = year), clear PHILIPPVS, tied with two others (inexplicably listed as “1709 Philip V”) for finest in the NGC census. NGC #4485213-003. From the 1715 Fleet, with Sedwick photo-certificate, pedigreed to the McGregor Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $10,000-up.

48. PERU, Lima, gold cob 2 escudos, 1710 H, NGC S 64 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), ex- c regor. S-L25a; Cal-1828; KM-36; Fr-9. 6.72 grams. Astoundingly lustrous and light in color with surfaces that Flemming says “look like they came from the mint yesterday,” with sharply detailed full crosslions-castles and pillars-and-waves on a broad flan enabling much legend ending in a full HISPANI, also with 7 of second date in legend next to crown (hence 10 was not on the die). Note: weight is stated on label erroneously as 16.72 grams. NGC #3641302-001. From the 1715 Fleet (South Colored Beach site, now known as Douglass Beach), with original Cobb Coin Co. (Mel Fisher) photo-certificate 16988 and Philip Flemming photo-certificate from 2013, pedigreed to the McGregor Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $10,000-up.

Broad flan with choice full castle flanked by L and H , bold full date below, also full cross but with some peripheral weakness and dierust, decent luster and rich color, second finest of just three in the NGC census (the others being AU 58 and MS 65). NGC #3621727-001. From the 1715 Fleet, with Sedwick photo-certificate, pedigreed to the McGregor Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $8,000-$12,000.

Cuzco, Peru

50. PER , Cuzco, gold cob escudos, 1698 , R error, broad flan (“Lima” cut), C S 64 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), “top pop.” S-CZ1; Cal-855; KM-28; Fr-4. 6.73 grams. Lustrous and very richly red-gold in color, well centered on a very broad and roundish flan that extends past the outer borders of dots in places, naturally with full legends and nice inner details (the pillars very slightly doubled), currently tied with eight others for finest in the NGC census. NGC #8405197-001. From the 1715 Fleet, with original State of Florida tag E 73188. Estimate: $17,500-up.

Choice full shield (slightly off-center) with nearly full crown above, full NR to right and partial II-R to left, well-centered full crossand-tressure (slightly doubled), all in lemon-yellow color with contrasting sediment in crevices. Note: For reasons unknown, the PCGS label says (1644) even though it is not a die-match with any known examples of that date. PCGS #26808447. Estimate: $2,500-$3,750.

58. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, gold cob 2 escudos, 1712, no assayer (Arce), Charles II posthumous, C S 63, ex-1715 Fleet. Restrepo-M66.32; S-B24; Cal1930 (under Ph. V); KM-14.2; Fr-4a. 6.83 grams.

Cartagena, Colombia

Cob 2 escudos

65. COLOMBIA, Cartagena, gold cob 2 escudos, 1626 assayer E below mintmark NR to right, unique, NGC MS 62, finest and only example in C census, Restrepo Plate. Restrepo-M52.2; S-C7; Cal-1755; KM-unl (4.4 for type); Fr-2a. 6.30 grams. Broad flan with choice full cross-and-tressure sporting a very full and bold date (last digit weak on right side), very bold and nearly full shield with bold NRE to right and II to left, PHILI- of king’s name in legend, some die-rust here and there, very important as the first known issue following the 1622 SF pieces (struck in Bogotá) with the same early cross but new shield (and mintmark), possibly with 6 engraved over 5 over 2 for the last digit of the date, in any case also unique as having mintmark NR instead of RN. Documents indicate that the Cartagena mint struck gold cobs without authorization from late 1626 through 1629 in an unofficial capacity as a “branch mint” to the “main” Nuevo Reino mint in Bogotá, which, after the “sample” issues of 1622, did not start striking its own gold cobs until 1628. NGC #8415502-001. Pedigreed to the Ponterio auction of January 2009 (lot 581), also Plate Coin M52.2 on page 86 of Lasser’s Coins of Colombia (2012). Estimate: $10,000-up.

66. COLOMBIA, Cartagena, gold cob 2 escudos, 1628/7, assayer E below mintmark RN to right, crosses inside, dots outside tressure around cross, ery rare, C A 58, finest known in C census, ex- c regor. Restrepo-M52.10; S-C7; Cal-unl (Type 376); KM-unl (4.4 for type); Fr-2a. 6.67 grams. Very rich gold color without luster, very bold full date with traces of 8/7 overdate, the full cross and shield also quite bold as is the denomination •II• to left, most of mintmark-assayer to right, small spot of extra gold (as made) above shield. On his certificate, Flemming calls this “By far the finest known two escudos of the entire Cartagena RNE series 1626-29.” NGC #3834259-001. Pedigreed to the McGregor Collection (stated on label), with Philip Flemming photo-certificate from 2015. Estimate: $6,000-up.

67. COLOMBIA, Cartagena, gold cob 2 escudos, 1631, assayer E abo e mintmark C to right, modified 1E obverse, dots inside, crosses outside tressure around cross, rare, C A details edge filing, ex-Lasser, Restrepo Plate. Restrepo-M52.16; S-C7; Cal-1763; KM-4.6; Fr-2a. 6.48 grams. Small flan yet with full cross and bottom half of all four digits of date, full shield with bold denomination •II• (reading vertically) punched over upright I to left (modified 1E die) and •E-C• to right, light yellow color. Curiously, this 1631 obverse (known in combination with two different reverse dies) is the only one in the entire Cartagena gold production of 1626-35 to show the assayer ABOVE the mintmark. NGC #8415502-002. Pedigreed to the Joseph Lasser Collection (Ponterio auction of January 2005, lot 813), also Plate Coin M52-16 on page 86 of Restrepo’s Coins of Colombia (2012). Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.

68. COLOMBIA, Cartagena, gold cob 2 escudos, 1634, assayer E below mintmark C to right, upright denomination to left, crosses inside and outside tressure around the cross, possibly uni ue, C S 6 , ex-Trast mara. Restrepo-unl (M52.16 for type); S-C7; Cal-1766; KM-4.6; Fr-2a. 6.47 grams. Extremely choice example with very bold full date and cross and shield, +II+ (upright) to left and C-E to right, all on a large flan with much legend, marks in centers, rich gold color and muted luster. While two other examples appear in the NGC census, we suspect they are both of different varieties, as two other varieties are known for this date: C-E to left, and C-E to right with ringlets outside the tressure. Adding to its already prominent pedigree, this coin will be featured in the introduction of Daniel Sedwick’s upcoming book Arce’s Doubloons. NGC #8485378-001. Pedigreed to the Trast mara Collection (Aureo & Calic auction of May 2017, lot 81). Estimate: $10,000-up.

Shipwreck Ingots

S.S. Central America, sunk in 1857 off North Carolina

69. Fi e ounces of California old Rush natural gold flakes and small nuggets in a large PC S SS Central America holder with label signed by Q. David Bowers and Bob Evans, numbered 25 of 88. 8½” x 5½” x ¾” (slab). A massive “slab” containing a decent amount of gold flakes and small nuggets in a round capsule of the right size to show off all the gold, with large label at top signed by Bowers (as Gold Rush Historian) and Evans (as Chief Scientist) designed to look like an ingot from the wreck, an impressive display with high intrinsic value. From the S.S. Central America (1857). Estimate: $12,500-$20,000.

70. California Gold Rush gold nugget, 7.08 grams, “Justh Nugget,” NGC (SS Central America nugget label), #32 of 100 largest. A sizable alluvial nugget (about ¾” in diameter), made roundish by a natural fold-over and heavy ripple, otherwise fairly smooth, nice color. NGC #4660925-032. From the S.S. Central America (1857). Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.

71. California Gold Rush gold nugget stickpin, 3.93 grams total, ex-S.S. Central America (1857). 2¼” long. Very jagged and bubbly flat nugget perched atop a thin, twisted wire of gold with sharp point, certified as recovered in 2014 from “Coin Pile 2, PortSide Debris Field.” From the S.S. Central America (1857), pedigreed to the Holabird auction of December 2022, with original lot-tag 146618, and small certificate signed by Holabird and Bob Evans. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

72. California Gold Rush gold nugget, 0.83 gram, NGC (SS Central America California Gold Rush Nugget Label). A more or less teardrop-shaped, 5/8” nugget of natural gold with traces of original quartz matrix in crevices but otherwise smooth as having tumbled in rivers and streams for eons until recovered by a Gold Rush panner and then lost again on this famous shipwreck. NGC #2104565317. From the S.S. Central America (1857). Estimate: $200-$300.

73. California Gold Rush gold nuggets, 0.53 gram total, NGC (SS Central America California Gold Rush Label). Four small, rounded, natural nuggets in a small capsule with attractive assemblage of promotional and educational materials about the shipwreck and the California Gold Rush. NGC #2129853-074. From the S.S. Central America (1857), with packet of accompanying materials as follows Christie’s (New York) Gold Rush Treasures from the SS Central America auction catalog of December 2000 The History Channel D D History’s Mysteries: Ship of Gold (2000) and Yeoman “Red Book” S.S. Central America Special Edition from 2002. Estimate: $200-$300.

74. Gold “oro corriente” cut piece, 23.55 grams, with full “f” stamp for Ferdinand of Spain. Roughly 1” x ¾” x ¼”. A narrow wedge cut from a gold ingot for circulation and trade, the three cut sides sharply sliced and the top and bottom surfaces fairly smooth, the top stamped with full and bold “f” inside rectangular cartouche for Ferdinand V of Spain (an unusually complete and sharp stamp), next to scattered raised dots from traces of the “quinto” tax stamp, including a visible letter A, tying the piece directly to crown-controlled bullion from the very early 1500s (when coins were not being made in the New World), hence among the earliest gold traded in the Americas and very rare as such, especially with such full and visible stamps, in fact identical to those seen on pages 20-21 of in García-Barneche’s Tumbaga Saga (2nd ed., 2018). XRF analysis confirms 22K fineness with multiple trace elements, consistent with early New World alluvial gold. Based on weight, this piece no doubt circulated at a value of seven escudos. Estimate: $5,000-up.

75. Gold “oro corriente” nugget, 6.52 grams, with rampant lion stamp of Charles I of Spain. Roughly ½” x 3/8” x 1/8”. A small and rounded alluvial nugget with one face stamped with a fully visible rampant lion (probably a local rendition as unlike anything in traditional Spanish heraldry) within a plain circle, with traces of indistinct lettering above, the opposite face displaying a typical flattening and rippling effect from the striking on the other side (like countermarks on later coins), confirming its deliberate preparation for trade use. XRF analysis confirms 22K fineness with multiple trace elements, consistent with early New World alluvial sources. The weight is close to the 2 escudos standard, showing clear intent to align with recognized gold monetary units at a time when gold coinage was not yet being struck in Spanish America (early 1500s, under Charles I of Spain / Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire), when the conquistadores were adapting raw gold into regulated trade units to facilitate exchange, comparable to the examples shown on pages 20-21 of in García-Barneche’s Tumbaga Saga (2nd ed., 2018). While most known specimens show a crown or letter with fineness, this example with a lion device seems even earlier in conception, reflecting the first improvisations to validate gold for commerce, and for now it is the only example known with this mark, also unique as a nugget versus being cut from a poured ingot, a highly important survivor from the transitional bullion-to-coin improvisation that represents the first gold traded in the Americas. Estimate: $5,000-up.

Session I - November 13, 2025, 9:30 AM

“Tumbaga wreck,” sunk ca. 1528 off Grand Bahama Island

76. Large o al “tumbaga” sil er ingot -157, 4.99 lb a , marked with fineness CCCL (1380 400 fine), assayer B o, serial RC, and one partial tax stamp, ex-“Tumbaga Wreck” (ca. 15 8), arcía-Barneche Plate. roughly 14” x 10” x 1”. This massive silver “torta” is one of the largest ingots found on this wreck (which represent the very first “treasure” coming from the New World), clearly a natural, mold-less pouring with rough texture on top showing how the various constituent silver objects melted and cooled, the smooth rounded bottom displaying all the markings in a small area, the edge with chip at one end and what appears to be an assayer’s “bite” near the other end, all dark gray in color and impressive for display. The biggest disks like this one appeared only at the end of the second printing of Armstrong’s book in a section entitled BARS CONSERVED AFTER 1993. XRF testing shows wildly varying results across the surfaces, averaging about 70%-80% silver, 19%-29% copper, and 1% gold, all a function of conservation conditions and not the overall content of the ingot. From the “Tumbaga Wreck” (ca. 1528), with original Sedwick photo-certificate and Armstrong book Tumbaga Silver for Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire (1993), also plated on page 117 of García-Barneche’s book Tumbaga Saga (2nd ed., 2018). Estimate: $20,000-up.

77. Half-cut “tumbaga” sil er bar -46, 4.89 lb a , marked with fineness CCCL (1350 400 fine) and two partial tax stamps, ex-”Tumbaga Wreck” (ca. 15 8), arcía-Barneche Plate. roughly 7¼” x 3½” x ¾”. While at first this appears similar to the typical “half brick” size and shape seen among these ingots, it is actually a half cut of a much longer bar, the cut end neatly chiseled, with irregular top surface (where melted artifacts cooled) and smooth bottom marked near the center with a fineness stamp between two circular tax stamps, prominent assayer’s “bite” in one corner, gray-gold color all over. Curiously, as documented in Armstrong’s book, this bar was among six selected for gas chromatograph analysis by Martin Marietta, indicating that it contained as much as 4.75% gold (second highest gold content of all the bars); but a battery of XRF tests on different parts of the surface show less than 0.5% gold, with silver at around 87%-94% and copper around 8%-11% (with a significant amount of iron at as much as 2%). As with the previous lot, this is probably more a function of surface conservation than actual overall content. From the “Tumbaga Wreck” (ca. 1528), with original Sedwick photo-certificate and Armstrong book Tumbaga Silver for Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire (1993, original spiral-bound edition), also plated on page 98 of García-Barneche’s book Tumbaga Saga (2nd ed., 2018). Estimate: $15,000-up.

nidentified

ca.-1554

wreck off Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

78. Large sil er “splash” ingot, 984 grams, marked with circular tax stamp showing pillars and PL S LTRA, exunidentified ca.-1554 wreck off Santo Domingo. roughly 9” x 8½”. Very thin, broad puddle of refined silver (XRF tested at about 99% fine), naturally poured without a mold, showing a rough bottom but smooth top with nearly full and distinctive tax stamp featuring two pillars and the motto PLVS VLTRA under a crown, the edge somewhat irregular but with approximately 4½” of it tangentially sliced off to make “plata corriente” in its time, with lightly toned silver color all over. Around 2007-8, coins and ingots identical to those from the 1554 Fleet off Padre Island, Texas, entered the market from a shipwreck off Santo Domingo that had to have been carrying material from the same 1554 Fleet, either on a ship that survived the initial storm or salvaged in its time and lost again. The markings on the ingots are a match with those found off Padre Island, and in fact they are quite different from those seen on ingots from the so-called “Golden Fleece” wreck of ca. 1550 that had been on the market since the late 1990s (a confusion when this ingot was first sold publicly in 2009 from a large shipwreck collection). From an unidentified wreck of the Spanish 1554 Fleet sunk off Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Estimate: $6,000-$9,000.

Atocha, sunk in 16 west of Key West, Florida

79. Large sil er ingot 96 from Potos , Class Factor 1.0, 86 lb 5.44 oz troy, marked with mint date Po16 1, fineness CCC L ( 380 400) and assayer ex a cartouche, owner shipper marks, tax stamps, and manifest number C C (4193), ex-Atocha (1622). 13¼” x 5¼” x 3½”.

A lovely Class Factor-1.0 ingot (meaning all markings visible, minimal surface corrosion) with particularly bold diamond-topped AR monogram (for owner Arriola), “magic wand” (unknown), and B (also unknown) in one corner, also with silvermaster V (for de Vreder) in another corner, bold manifest number and fineness in center, and all-important PoI6ZI cartouche above the AR monogram, most of four circular tax stamps of Philip III interspersed throughout. Right in the very middle is the peanut-shaped “double-scoop” assayer’s “bite” that characterize Potosí bars. Overall, a very nice display and one of the best-marked bars we have offered.

It is interesting to note that Lorenzo de Arriola (the owner represented by the AR monogram on this bar), who had over 66 bars loaded on the Atocha (roughly 6% of all the bars being shipped) perished in the wreck.

From the Atocha (1622), with original Mel Fisher photo-certificate 85A-S296. Estimate: $50,000-$75,000.

80. Sil er “pi a” ingot, 5335 grams, RF tested at 99 sil er, ex-Atocha (16 ), with original el Fisher poster. 7¼” tall, 3½” to 5½” in diameter, with 2½” cylindrical hole in center.

This is only the third ingot of this very rare type that we have seen from the Atocha in a class known as “piñas” for their coredpineapple shape. The “patio” refining process, invented in Mexico in the mid-1500s by Bartolomé de Medina as a method for separating silver from its ore by amalgamation with mercury (quicksilver), describes “pi a” ingots like this one as the final step where the silver was heated in bell-shaped molds with central rods. At that stage, most of these ingots were melted down into typically large, rectangular ingots and sent to the mint for coining; but since the mine owners usually needed money right away, some “piñas” were sold directly from the mine, which had to be the case here because neither end shows any markings, specifically fineness and tax stamps (hence not rated for Class Factor by Treasure Salvors like the big bars). The surfaces are not overly corroded, just a nice even silver color. Transitional form between mine and mint, this piña represents silver in its rawest and most authentic state, caught halfway between mountain and empire, just as handled by miners and assayers before officialstamping.

Accompanying this ingot is an original (1970s-80s) poster for Treasure Salvors (Mel Fisher) and their “Pirate Treasure Ship and Museum of Sunken Treasure” on Margaret Street in Key West, featuring a full-sized replica galleon notoriously prone to sinking. From the Atocha (1622), with original Fisher plastic tag and photo-certificate 85A-0507-2, also with original Mel Fisher poster (11” x 14”). Estimate: $15,000-$22,500.

Session I - November 13, 2025, 9:30 AM EST

Maravillas, sunk in 1656 off Grand

81. Small silver ingot (square) made in Cartagena from melted coins, 9 6 grams, marked with fineness CL (2150/2400), assayer BEXARo, and serial number 1 4, rare and important, ex-Maravillas (1656), ex-Christie s. 3½” x 3¼” x 5/8”. An atypically square ingot noted in documents as a “plancha,” darkly toned, with clear markings and patches of white and greenishwhite coral here and there (especially on the bottom). There is evidence that pieces like this were intended to be legal, circulating substitutes for debased coins; research by Jorge Proctor and Herman Blanton has demonstrated that these odd ingots were made in Cartagena, Colombia, from melted-down Potosí cobs recalled due to debasement scandal, as proven by assayer-marks on the ingots, specifically the BEXARo on this piece, referring to Francisco Martínez Bejarano, documented as Chief Assayer of Cartagena from 1644 to 1652. From the Maravillas (1656), pedigreed to the Christie’s (New York) auction of May 1992 (lot 121), with small photo-card, and to Sedwick Auction 21, with original lot-tag 321. Estimate: $10,000-up.

Akerendam, sunk in 1725 off Norway

Dutch Gold

321. AR S C TR ES, original promotional set of one Dutch gold ducat, two Dutch ducatoons, three exican sil er cobs, and six Dutch stui ers, in blue leatherette case of issue. Case is 12” x 9”. The 1970s were the Golden Age of shipwreck salvage in Northern Europe, which saw the recovery of treasure from many 18th-century ships, like Hollandia (1743), Association (1707), DeLiefde (1711), and many more, including the one big find off Norway: Akerendam (1725). While the other shipwreck coins went into various auctions individually, those from the Akerendam were promoted in collector sets like the present one, with a mix of the different types of coins in generally better quality. The best coin here, of course, is the gold ducat from Utrecht, dated 1724, in Mint State condition, this example with fully detailed knight’s head but very slightly warped, as so many are. The case itself has seen better days but still closes well, printed with A PART OF THE “AKERENDAM” TREASURE (and its counterpart in Norwegian) on the top. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

322. AR S C TR ES, original promotional set of one Dutch gold ducat, two Dutch ducatoons, three exican silver cobs, and eight Dutch 2 stuivers, in blue leatherette case of issue. Case is 12” x 9”. The 1970s marked the Golden Age of shipwreck salvage in Northern Europe, with numerous treasures recovered from long-lost 18th-century vessels. Among the most notable finds were coins from ships like the Hollandia (1743), Association (1707), and DeLiefde (1711)—but the standout discovery off the coast of Norway was undoubtedly the Akerendam (1725). Unlike other shipwreck recoveries, where coins were sold off individually at auction, the Akerendam’s treasure was thoughtfully curated into collector sets such as this one. These sets typically include a mix of silver and gold coin types in better condition. The highlight of this particular set is a Mint State 1724 gold ducat from Utrecht with fully detailed knight and legends, only slightly bent as is typical for these thin coins from this wreck. The original presentation case is included, showing some wear consistent with age but still closing properly, printed with A PART OF THE “AKERENDAM” TREASURE (and its counterpart in Norwegian) on the top. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

323. NETHERLANDS (United), Utrecht, gold ducat, 1724, NGC MS 65 (Shipwreck Blue Label). Delm-965; Fr-285; KM-7.4.

Like the previous lot, this is a very common coin (among hundreds of thousands on the wreck) but very rare as an error with the entire obverse missing and replaced with an incuse mirror image of the reverse (what happens when a coin sticks to a die and hits the next coin), both sides toned Mint State with traces of original luster. With generic certificate from the salvors. Estimate: $200-up.

456. INDIA (British), Madras Presidency, massive clump of 450(+/-) English East India Co. copper X cash, 1808. KM-319. 5791 grams total. Roughly 9” x 7” x 5½”. A truly incredible and massive shipwreck clump that is a sight to behold, with numerous East India Company X cash coins scattered about its surfaces, many of which are darkened but with clear dates and design details visible. Even allowing for a generous 50/50 mix of coins versus other material, there are easily 450+ coins inside this clump. Additionally, the rusty orange matrix also shows fragments of the wooden cask that the coins were stored in. Very impressive and certainly a trophy piece from this shipwreck. Estimate: $3,500-up.

The Wreck of the S.B. Pulaski (1838)

by Connor Falk

The S.B. Pulaski represents one of the earliest of major U.S. shipwrecks to be salvaged and the coins recovered provide a fascinating glimpse back in time to late-1830s America.

The ship began her brief life in 1837 at the shipyard of John A. Robb located in Fell’s Point, Baltimore, Maryland. Built for the Savannah & Charleston Steam Packet Company, she was a steam packet meant for carrying passengers, cargo, and mail up and down the East Coast. In an interesting historical connection, the shipbuilder John A. Robb also constructed the famous S.S. Republic (launched in 1853 as the S.S. Tennessee), which also ran an East Coast route until her sinking in 1865 with a cargo of gold and silver coins.

The Pulaski was a brand-new and luxurious ship, affording her passengers a comfortable journey. She was favored by wealthy Southern families and businessmen whenever they needed to travel from the South up to the North and back again. Her cargo holds held trade goods and U.S. Post Office mail packets, earning further revenue for her owners.

The Pulaski’s voyage on June 14, 1838, started off normally. She had departed Charleston, South Carolina, at 6 AM, having come up from Savannah, Georgia. Captain John Dubois commanded the ship with a crew of 36 and with around 150 passengers aboard. Now bound for Baltimore, Maryland, the passengers settled in for a day heading out to sea.

At 10 o’clock that night, the Pulaski was about 40 miles off the coast of North Carolina, sailing north at a steady clip in moderate seas. The First Mate, Mr. Hibberd, had charge of the ship and was pacing the promenade deck. As he later told the Wilmington bserver, he “found himself shortly after upon the main deck, lying between the mast and side of the boat.”

Regaining consciousness, Hibberd headed to the midships. There, he found the head of the starboard boiler blown out and the decks above torn apart. The hull was also damaged and Hibberd observed water rushing in whenever the ship heeled to starboard. Later accounts would blame the ship’s engineer for the explosion by letting the boilers run dry then refilling them with cold seawater while hot.

Session I - November 13, 2025, 9:30 AM EST

The boiler explosion killed many passengers and crew instantly in their cabins. Captain Dubois was lost, presumed killed in the explosion. First Mate Hibberd began launching the lifeboats, initially telling passengers they were to inspect the ship’s hull, so as not to raise a panic. One of the lifeboats was in poor condition due to sun exposure; after several attempts to bail it out, it capsized. The other two lifeboats, loaded with 21 survivors including First Mate Hibberd, stayed near the Pulaski until it broke up and sank just 45 minutes after the explosion.

The 21 survivors in the two lifeboats made their way to the North Carolina shore. After paddling north for some time, hoping to find a way into the intercoastal waterway, they attempted to land on the beach. The rough waves overturned the first lifeboat near shore and five of the eleven survivors on board that boat drowned in the surf. Three hours later, the second lifeboat made a successful landing. The survivors then made their way to Stump Sound where a local took them in. Two days later, First Mate Hibberd and two other passengers left for Wilmington where they reported Pulaski’s sinking. They were initially thought to be the only survivors of the wreck.

On the morning of Tuesday, June 19, the crew of the schooner Henry Camerdon came across a sight: a large portion of the deck of the S.B. Pulaski, barely afloat, containing 23 survivors. Once taken aboard, the survivors mentioned another piece of the wreck was floating nearby with more survivors. An hour later, the Henry Camerdon rescued a further seven survivors who were clinging to a piece of the wreck. The survivors, suffering from exposure and dehydration over four days, were brought back to Wilmington. The Fayetteville bserver newspaper then reported that a further thirteen survivors had come ashore at New Inlet. Of the 37 crew and over 150 passengers aboard, 59 were saved.

The Newbernian newspaper of New Bern, North Carolina, eulogized those who died in the S.B. Pulaski sinking in their Friday, June 29, 1838, edition as follows:

“Dreadful Steam Boat Disaster!

“Thus have we hurriedly sketched the most painful catastrophe that has ever occurred upon the American coast. Youth, age, and infancy have here been cut off in a single night, and found a common death under the same billow.

“Days, months, years and ages will circle away, and still the vast waters will over them roll.”

It wasn’t until 2017 that the wreck site of the S.B. Pulaski was located. Discovered by Swordfish Partners, the salvors filed an admiralty claim on the then unknown wreck. In partnership between Blue Water Ventures International and Endurance Exploration, the salvage work began with the main goal of definitively identifying the wreck. Divers sent down to the 120 foot-deep site found a scattered wreck covered in several feet of sand. In early 2018, a single brass tag was found bearing the name S.B. Pulaski.

With the wreck thus confirmed as the Pulaski, salvage began in earnest. Over the course of a few salvage seasons, many small artifacts such as silverware, pocket watches, and jewelry were found. Several larger artifacts found included ship’s tackle and a silver religious altar decoration.

Silver and gold U.S. coins were also discovered along with world coins that circulated in the United States during the 1830s. However, unlike the famous S.S. Central America, S.S. Brother Jonathan, or S.S. Republic, which mainly carried coins as their cargo, vast quantities of coins were never found on the S.B. Pulaski. The few recovered coins were all pocket change from the passenger and crew, representing a sample of coins found in circulation at the time. Thus, every coin from the S.B. Pulaski has a very real connection to those who sailed on her during her final voyage.

S.B. Pulaski, sunk in 1838 off North Carolina

467. C L B A, Popay n, gold 1 escudo, 18 3 F , C A 58 (SB Pulaski Shipwreck Label). Restrepo-162.1; KM-81.2; Fr-72. S.B. Pulaski shipwreck coins are among the earliest and rarest of all U.S. shipwreck recoveries. The steam packet Pulaski, carrying 187 passengers and crew, left the port of Charleston, South Carolina, on June 14, 1838, bound for Baltimore, Maryland. Around 11 PM that night, off the coast of North Carolina, the starboard boiler exploded. Some were killed in the blast, while others were lost as the ship quickly went down; around 59 survivors were saved. Unlike the other larger U.S. shipwreck recoveries, where big quantities of coins from commercial shipments were recovered, coins from the Pulaski were wholly passenger and crew “pocket change.” The find uncovered Mint State U.S. gold coins, a number of U.S. silver coins (mostly half dollars), and many foreign coins that were U.S. legal tender at the time, like this one. Lustrous piece with just the slightest of surface friction and bold design elements throughout. NGC #6706016-024. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

468. UNITED STATES, Philadelphia mint, gold Classic Liberty Head half eagle ($5), 1836, HM-3 (R.4), very rare provenance, PCGS MS64 (SB Pulaski Shipwreck Label). KM-57. This is the finest piece that we’ve offered from this incredibly rare early American shipwreck. A superb example, it bears surfaces draped in satiny luster with the boldly struck Liberty and eagle standing out prominently. Both the stars on the obverse and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on the reverse are bold and well struck along with the full rims on both sides. Identified as die variety HM-3 (Rarity-4), which features a noticeable bisecting die-crack running along star 8 and down through the 6 in the date. PCGS 59827057. Estimate: $30,000-$45,000.

S.S. ames, sunk in 1841 off the Isles of Scilly, southwest of England

469. REAT BR TA , London, sixpence, William , 1834. Sp-3836; KM-712. 2.60 grams. Rare wreck provenance (first we have offered at auction) as from the steamship S.S. Thames which sank in heavy seas after running aground on Jacky’s Rock off the Isles of Scilly. Of 65 passengers and crew, only four survived. One survivor, a seaman, drifted onto a rocky outcropping. Upon finding a porter cask from the wreck, he took a drink and then emptied it to use as a shelter. VF with grayish, lightly corroded surfaces and some scratches. With original photo-certificate TH T 104 from the salvors, plus a color postcard of the salvors on the wrecksite. Estimate: $200-up.

S.S. New York, sunk in 1846 off New Orleans

470. E C , exico City, bust reales, Charles , 1773 F , C Shipwreck Effect (SS New York Shipwreck Label). Yonaka-M2.73a; KM-88.2; Cal-659. Well-circulated piece with flat details but corrosion restrained to the obverse edges, spotty toning on reverse. NGC #1972445-027. Estimate: $150-$225.

471. GREAT BRITAIN, London, 1 shilling, George III, 1817, NGC Shipwreck Effect (SS New York Shipwreck Label). Sp-3790; KM-666. Rather corroded with bold obverse showing clear date, weak reverse with encrustation spot. Interesting example of how foreign gold and silver coins regularly circulated in the United States until 1857. NGC #1975084017. Estimate: $150-$225.

472. UNITED STATES, Philadelphia mint, Capped Bust half dollar, 1833, NGC Shipwreck Effect (SS New York Shipwreck Label). KM-37. Silvery, corroded piece with visible date, eagle rather bold. NGC #1970767-040. Estimate: $200-$300.

485. TED STATES, San Francisco mint, gold Coronet

Liberty Head double eagle ($20), 1856-S, split serif, PCGS AU58 (in large SS Central America “Ship of Gold” holder with pinch of California gold dust). KM-74.1. 5” x 4½” holder. Bold example with well-struck details across Liberty and the eagle with only minimal rub on the high points for the grade, somewhat lustrous with light pink toning around the reverse fields, scarcer date from this wreck. Housed in a special PCGS slab with a pinch of gold (about 1.5 grams) from the shipwreck, the label hand-signed by chief scientist Bob Evans, also with promotional cardboard box and certificate from PCGS. PCGS 35446368. Estimate: $6,000-$9,000.

486. TED STATES, San Francisco mint, gold Coronet

Liberty Head double eagle ($20), 1857-S, PCGS AU55 (SS Central America Shipwreck old Foil Label). KM-74.1. A very beautiful shipwreck piece that bears only the lightest of surface friction to denote any pre-sinking handling while retaining the bright mint luster and sharp details one might expect from a coin fresh out of the mint. Rich golden toning is prevalent along the edges and in some spots across and around Liberty. PCGS SSCA 7450. Estimate: $6,000-$9,000.

487. TED STATES, San Francisco mint, gold Coronet Liberty Head double eagle ($20), 1857-S, spiked shield, PCGS UNC details / environmental damage (in large SS Central America “Ship of Gold” holder with pinch of California gold dust). KM-74.1. 5” x 4½” holder. Sharply detailed piece with some matte surface staining in the centers but still retaining original mint luster around the rims.

PCGS 35637187. Estimate: $6,000-$9,000.

488. UNITED STATES, New York, North River Bank, $20 note, 1850s. Haxby-NYG50c. Recovered from Purser Hull’s safe aboard the S.S. Central America in 2014; professionally conserved in 2018. This exceedingly rare $20 note from the North River Bank is one of only two known examples recovered from Purser Hull’s safe, part of a group of eleven New York banknotes. Notably, Haxby states “Surviving example not confirmed,” underscoring the rarity of this issue. These notes were likely used to purchase passage dockside for the ill-fated southbound voyage of the S.S. Central America. Once aboard, the notes would have been secured in the purser’s safe, as they held minimal or no monetary value at intermediate ports such as Havana or Aspinwall. Their presence in the safe indicates they were intended for use upon return to New York. Pedigreed to the Holabird SS Central America Shipwreck Artifacts auction (December 2022), lot 1259 with original certificate. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

S.S. Brother Jonathan, sunk in 1865 off Crescent City, California

489. TED STATES, San Francisco mint, gold Coronet Liberty Head double eagle ($20), 1865-S, NGC MS 62 / Brother Jonathan. KM-74.1. The S.S. Brother Jonathan sank on July 30, 1865, after striking a rock during its return to the harbor of Crescent City, California. Just nineteen people survived aboard a single lifeboat. Of the 225 lives lost, some notable passengers included: Anson G. Henry, a personal friend of Abraham Lincoln’s and the newly appointed Superintendent of the proposed Dalles (Oregon) branch mint; James Nisbet, a publisher who wrote his will as the ship sank; and Roseanna Keenan, a madam traveling with seven prostitutes. Beautiful piece with satiny luster across the obverse and only minor bagmarks to note, rich golden-toned reverse, well struck with sharp details. NGC #564901-011. Estimate: $10,000-$15,000.

S.S. Republic, sunk in 1865 off Georgia

490. UNITED STATES, set of three coins in NGC Shipwreck Effect holders: gold Coronet Liberty Head double eagle ($20) 1861; gold Coronet Liberty Head eagle ($10) 1856-S; silver Seated Liberty half dollar (50c) 1861-O, Confederate States issue (die W-13), NGC. 7½” x 4”. This incredible set shows off the range of S.S. Republic shipwreck coins with three different denominations across three different mints from across the country. The 1861 $20 is particularly choice and Mint State with significant cartwheel luster. The 1856-S $10 is a very scarce date from the wreck with just 27 examples recovered as stated in “The SS Republic Shipwreck Excavation Project: the Coin Collection” by Q. David Bowers; it grades AU with some minor surface chatter but retains substantial mint luster. The sea-salved 1861-O half dollar struck by the Confederate States of America completes the set by illustrating the shipwreck’s ties to the Civil War. This is a trophy set that would fit well in a major shipwreck collector’s collection. NGC #021710-(013-015). Estimate: $10,000-$15,000.

491. UNITED STATES, Philadelphia mint, Seated Liberty half dollar, 1853, arrows and rays, NGC Shipwreck Effect Inscribed (SS Republic Shipwreck Label). KM-79. Silvery AU with scratches in the field to the right of Liberty, no saltwater corrosion to note, scarce and popular type from this wreck. According to Bowers’ paper “The SS Republic Shipwreck Excavation Project: the Coin Collection,” 403 1853 halves were recovered from the wreck. NGC #1831167-012. Estimate: $250-$375.

492. UNITED STATES, New Orleans mint, Seated Liberty half dollar, 1853-O, arrows and rays, with inscribed A in field, C Shipwreck Effect SS Republic nscribed. KM-79. Not only is this a desirable type-coin from the wreck but the additional presence of a hand-carved A on the obverse makes this a unique shipwreck coin. One can imagine a bored person in New Orleans errantly carving this initial into the coin they found in their pocket sometime in the 1850s or 1860s. An extremely small number of SS Republic recovered halves bear some form of “folk art” engraving done by a person (or persons) prior to or during the Civil War. According to Bowers’ paper “The SS Republic Shipwreck Excavation Project: the Coin Collection,” 829 1853-O halves were recovered from the wreck. NGC #1831167-032. Estimate: $350-$500.

493. UNITED STATES, New Orleans mint, Seated Liberty half dollar, 1853-O, arrows and rays, NGC Shipwreck Effect (SS Republic Shipwreck Label). KM-79. XF with lustrous, mostly untouched obverse, the reverse with moderate corrosion. According to Bowers’ paper “The SS Republic Shipwreck Excavation Project: the Coin Collection,” 829 1853-O halves were recovered from the wreck. NGC #6580348-009. Estimate: $250-$375.

494. UNITED STATES, Philadelphia mint, Seated Liberty half dollar, 1855, arrows, NGC Shipwreck Effect (SS Republic Shipwreck Label). KM-82. A rare date from this wreck with just 67 examples listed in the census published in Bowers’ paper “The SS Republic Shipwreck Excavation Project: the Coin Collection.” Fairly lustrous XF+ with minor surface corrosion. NGC #1793988-054. Estimate: $300-$450.

495. UNITED STATES, Philadelphia mint, Seated Liberty half dollar, 1857, NGC Shipwreck Effect (SS Republic Shipwreck Label). KM-A68. XF with almost no surface corrosion, scarce date from this wreck. According to Bowers’ paper “The SS Republic Shipwreck Excavation Project: the Coin Collection,” 257 1857 halves were recovered from the wreck. NGC #1793940-135. Estimate: $300-$450.

496. UNITED STATES, New Orleans mint, Seated Liberty half dollar, 1857-O, date in rock, NGC Shipwreck Effect (B) F (SS Republic Shipwreck Label). KM-A68. Interesting variety with the date erroneously punched in the rock below Liberty, then corrected. XF with some retained luster, almost no corrosion. According to Bowers’ paper “The SS Republic Shipwreck Excavation Project: the Coin Collection,” 747 1857-O halves were recovered from the wreck. NGC #1794474-008. Estimate: $300-$450.

497. UNITED STATES, Philadelphia mint, Seated Liberty half dollar, 1858, C Shipwreck Effect (B) F (SS Republic Shipwreck Label). KM-A68. XF with some original mint luster showing through the minor surface corrosion, a tougher Philadelphia-mint type from this wreck and scarce as having an adjectival grade on the NGC label. According to Bowers’ paper “The SS Republic Shipwreck Excavation Project: the Coin Collection,” 481 1858 halves were recovered from the wreck. NGC #6580348-050. Estimate: $250-$375.

498. UNITED STATES, New Orleans mint, Seated Liberty half dollar, 1858-O, obverse struck through wire, NGC Shipwreck Effect (B) F (SS Republic Shipwreck Label). KM-A68. Very interesting error with a large, struck-through wire curving across Liberty; the first major error coin that we have offered from this wreck. Very lustrous piece with AU details and minimal saltwater corrosion, faint golden toning across the fields. NGC #1831743-001. Estimate: $350-$500.

499. UNITED STATES, Philadelphia mint, Seated Liberty half dollar, 1859, bag impression, NGC Shipwreck Effect (B) F (SS Republic Shipwreck Label). KM-A68. Another interesting piece (and a scarce date from the wreck) with a light canvas bag impression on the micro-pitted reverse, the obverse rather untouched with original mint luster and sharp, AU design elements. According to Bowers’ paper “The SS Republic Shipwreck Excavation Project: the Coin Collection,” 101 1859 halves were recovered from the wreck. NGC #1831187-044. Estimate: $300-$450.

500. UNITED STATES, New Orleans mint, Seated Liberty half dollar, 1859- , C Shipwreck Effect (B) F (SS Republic Shipwreck Label). KM-A68. Corroded with some minor encrustation, decent reverse details. NGC #6951201-014. Estimate: $200-$300.

Featuring the Sedwick-Downing Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage

Collecting Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage: My Journey

by Cori Sedwick Downing

Collector: someone who collects objects because they are beautiful, valuable, or interesting.

For me, beauty and interest outweigh value, although it’s satisfying when the first two intersect with the third. Years ago, I started researching a robust field of coins, the Charles and Joanna coinage of Mexico City, and my interest was quickly piqued. Not only was the story of the first mint in the New World compelling, but the coins minted there were extremely well struck and beautiful, unlike many of the coins that came after that period. I was also taken with the simple “castles and lions” shield on one side and “pillars and waves” motif on the other.

Like any hobbyist who aspires to fill in his or her collection in a purposeful way, I learned as much as I could about the coins that had caught my attention. I bought a copy of Robert A. Nesmith’s 1955 book, The Coinage of the First Mint of the Americas at Mexico City, 1536-1572, and read it cover to cover. It’s still a great reference 70 years after publication! I read the transcript of the Tello de Sandoval investigation into possible mint improprieties during the tenure of assayer G, Juan Gutiérrez, which gave me a lot of information about the inner workings of the mint and who was there. I read about Hern n Cortés’ conquest of the Aztecs, which set the stage for a mint to be established in Mexico in 1536. I read about the Spanish monarchy to know why the coins bear the names of two rulers: Charles and Joanna. The former was the son of the latter, who by all accounts was crazy and certainly wasn’t capable of ruling over an empire. It was like a soap opera!

I began to keep census of all the varieties of all the denominations of coins from what Nesmith termed the “Early Series” and the “Late Series” assayers. The pinnacle of my work came when we were privileged to handle the sale of the Clyde Hubbard collection of Mexican Charles and Joanna coins, several of which were plate coins in Nesmith’s book.

My collection is not exhaustive because I decided early on to concentrate on rare and sometimes unique varieties and smaller denominations, which are harder to find. I never chased grades because I find it more important to have a coin in whatever condition it was found if there are only one or two known. There are so many varieties that you could spend a lifetime trying to acquire each one! Like the coins, I hope the results of my years-long study which should be available soon and will feature most of the coins in my collection helps further interest by avid collectors and people like me who just happen to find these coins beautiful.

533. MEXICO, Mexico City, 2 reales, Charles-Joanna, “Early Series,” assayer Latin R (Rincón) at bottom between pillars, rhomboid panel with PLVS, unique, NGC AU details / corrosion, exSedwick-Downing (stated on label). Nesmith-unl; S-M1; Cal-unl; KM-10. 6.57 grams. Bold full legends and inner details, the shield doubled and with light surface corrosion but still recognizable as a diematch with a later assayer-P coin (note the mostly Gothic lettering), the pillars side showing the only known rhomboid panel in 2 reales, very darkly toned with virtually full legends. NGC #8228486-010. Pedigreed to the Sedwick-Downing Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage. Estimate: $2,500-$3,750.

Nesmith-20 type/20; S-M4; Cal-92; KM-11. 6.43 grams. While types with the assayer initial to the right are not uncommon, those with the assayer initial to the left (like this example) are rare and probably some of the earliest emissions from this assayer. Note the misspellings of HISPANDIE and IOANA. The stops in the legends are early types too with dotted annulets. Clear legends and full interiors despite some pits of corrosion on pillars side, lightly toned. NGC #8228486-012. Pedigreed to the Sedwick-Downing Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

Nesmith-15; S-M3; Cal-90; KM-11. 5.91 grams. Full interiors and nearly full legends despite weak areas, tooling, and cleaning that imparted a coppery toning all over, overall still quite acceptable for such a rare issue of assayer F, the pillars side a die match with an assayer-G issue (which is what Hubbard thought it was, just the G rubbed off, as recorded on his tag), but also a die match with another assayer-F example (look at Sedwick Auction 4, lot 202). NGC #8228486-014. Pedigreed to the SedwickDowning Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage. Estimate: $3,000-$4,500.

538. MEXICO, Mexico City, 1 real, Charles-Joanna, “Early Series,” assayer Gothic R (Rincón) at bottom between pillars, motto as PLVSVL in oval panel, rare, NGC AU 53, ex-Sedwick-Downing (stated on label). Nesmith-3c; S-M1; Cal-60; KM-7. 3.43 grams. Richly toned and well struck with nearly full legends (mostly Gothic), nice pillars and lions-and-castles, among the very first variety of Rincón coins issued from the Mexico City Mint. NGC #8228486-015. Pedigreed to the Freeman Craig auction of March 1981, with original lot-tag 414, and to the Sedwick-Downing Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage. Estimate: $2,500-$3,750.

539. MEXICO, Mexico City, 1 real, Charles-Joanna, “Early Series,” assayer P to left, mintmark M to right without annulets (P-M), motto as PLVS in left-leaning rhomboid panel with double annulets on either side, HISPANIE variety, rare, NGC VF 30, ex-Sedwick-Downing, ex-Hubbard (both stated on label). Nesmith-19a type /19; S-M4; Cal-64; KM-unl (7 for type). 3.24 grams. Tied with two others for second finest known in the NGC. This lightly toned example with full legends and inner details, is of the rare P-M variety with a left-leaning panel. In addition, it is one with a very interesting terminal G in the shield legend (only one other known, in the Banco de Mexico collection) and must have been an earlier emission. It was purchased by Hubbard after Nesmith had already published his book, otherwise it would have been included as a different variety from the others. NGC #8228456-006. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection, with his tag, and to the Sedwick-Downing Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage. Estimate: $2,500-$3,750.

540. MEXICO, Mexico City, 1 real, Charles-Joanna, “Early Series,” assayer P to right, mintmark M to left (oMo-oPo, plain annulets), motto as PLVS in right-leaning rhomboid panel with single annulets on either side, HISPANIARVM variety, rare, NGC F 15, ex-Sedwick-Downing, ex-Hubbard (both stated on label), ex-Laguette, Nesmith Plate Coin. Nesmith-24c; S-M4; Cal-63; KM-unlisted (7 for type). 3.18 grams. This little gem with desirable pedigree has lovely toning, despite some old scratches, with full legends and interiors. Note that the quatrefoils in the shield-side legend are less ornate than earlier emissions under this assayer. NGC #8228456-007. Pedigreed to the Lucio Laguette Collection and the Clyde Hubbard Collection (stated on label), with his tag, plated as a drawing on page 89 of Robert Nesmith’s The Coinage of the First Mint of the Americas at Mexico City, 1536-1572 (1955), also pedigreed to the Sedwick-Downing Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

541. MEXICO, Mexico City, 1 real, Charles-Joanna, “Early Series,” assayer P to right, mintmark M to left (oMo-oPo, plain annulets), motto as PLVS in right-leaning rhomboid panel with single annulets on either side, HISPANIARVM variety, rare, NGC VF details / stained, ex-Sedwick-Downing, ex-Hubbard (both stated on label), Nesmith Plate Coin. Nesmith-24e; S-M4; Cal-63; KM-unl (7 for type). 3.23 grams. A slightly off-center strike makes the coin legends tough to decipher, but the all-important terminal letters are visible. Overall, it has a frosty tone with some central weakness, rich in detail elsewhere. Its main value is the fact that it was photographed in Nesmith, thanks to its former residence in Clyde Hubbard’s collection. NGC #8228456-008. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection, with his tag, and plated as a drawing for 24e on page 90 and as an actual photo on Plate IV of Robert Nesmith’s The Coinage of the First Mint of the Americas at Mexico City, 1536-1572 (1955), also pedigreed to the Sedwick-Downing Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage. Estimate: $1,750-$2,500.

542. MEXICO, Mexico City, 1 real, Charles-Joanna, “Early Series,” assayer P to right, mintmark M to left (oMo-oPo, plain annulets), motto as PLVS in left-leaning rhomboid panel with double annulets on either side, HIS:PANIE variety, rare, NGC VF 25, ex-Sedwick-Downing, Calicó Plate (both stated on label). Nesmith-24a type/24 for type; S-M4; Cal-63; KM-unl (7 for type). 3.26 grams. An early emission under assayer P, with virtually full legends and interiors, somewhat softly struck. Note the more elaborate quatrefoils in the shield-side legend which became less ornate on later coins. NGC #8228454-001. Plate Coin 63 on page 58 of Calicó’s Numismática española (2019), pedigreed to the Sedwick-Downing Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage. Estimate: $1,750-$2,500.

543. MEXICO, Mexico City, 1 real, Charles-Joanna, “Early Series,” assayer G at bottom between pillars, mintmark oMo-oM/F/Po (plain annulets), motto as PLVS in left-leaning rhomboid panel with single annulets on either side, very rare, NGC F 15, ex-Sedwick-Downing (stated on label). Nesmith-9 (no overassayer noted); S-M2; Cal-unl (61 for type); KM-unl (7 for type). 3.2 grams. Full legends and interiors despite a slightly off-center strike, with moderate softening on the high points (more like VF) with great contrasting toning, clearly an over-assayer strike with a die match to assayer P and assayer F coins, and very rare as such. NGC #8228456-009. Pedigreed to the Sedwick-Downing Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

544. MEXICO, Mexico City, ½ real, Charles-Joanna, “Early Series,” assayer Gothic R (Rincón) at bottom between pillars, mintmark m (Gothic) below KI, motto as PLVS (Gothic) in oval panel, very rare, ex-Sedwick-Downing. Nesmith-2; S-M1; Cal-41; KM-6. 1.43 grams. Among the very first coins struck at the Mexico City Mint, with all-Gothic lettering and the king’s name misspelled as KROLVS (maybe to save space ), broad flan with virtually full legends and interiors despite flat areas and some waviness, overall Fine with toning around details, an essential coin for collectors of this series, with few surviving examples. Pedigreed to the Stack’s Bowers and Ponterio auction of August 2013, with original lot-tag 13273, and to the Sedwick-Downing Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage. Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.

545. MEXICO, Mexico City, ½ real, Charles-Joanna, “Early Series,” assayer P to right, mintmark M to left of monogram (oMo-oPo), motto as PLV in left-leaning rhomboid panel with single annulets on either side, rare, NGC VF details / edge damage, ex-Sedwick-Downing (stated on label), ex-Hubbard, Nesmith Plate. Nesmith-23; S-M4; Cal-44; KM-6. 1.53 grams. Deeply toned with full interiors and virtually full legends, minor some spots and the edge perhaps a bit rounded. This is the Nesmith 23 plate drawing (the photo in the back of the book is of another coin), and while he listed examples in other collections (and there are numerous examples of this early HISPANIE variety for which there is also an assayer F/P shield-side die match), he chose to draw this one, as it is a clear example. NGC #8228456-012. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection, with his tag, and plated as a drawing on page 86 of Robert Nesmith’s The Coinage of the First Mint of the Americas at Mexico City, 1536-1572 (1955), also pedigreed to the Sedwick-Downing Collection of Mexican CharlesJoanna Coinage. Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.

546. MEXICO, Mexico City, ½ real, Charles-Joanna, “Early Series,” assayer F to right of monogram, mintmark M to left (oMo-oFo), motto as PLV in left-leaning rhomboid panel with double annulets on either side, extremely rare, NGC VG details / cleaned, ex-Sedwick-Downing (stated on label). Nesmith-13; S-M3; Cal-43; KM-unl (6 for type). 1.28 grams. Somewhat crudely struck, with weak assayer, but 100% identifiable and with parts of legends bold, Fine overall with some toning around details. This assayer is highly sought for its rarity, and in fact this ½ real example is one of only three known to us. It is also a die match to an assayer-P coin and an assayer F/P (oMo-oF/Po). NGC #8228454-003. Pedigreed to Sedwick Auction 1, lot 350, and to the Sedwick-Downing Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

547. MEXICO, Mexico City, ½ real, Charles-Joanna, “Early Series,” assayer G between bottoms of pillars, mintmark M to left and M/F to right (oMo-oM/Fo), motto as PLV in right-leaning rhomboid panel with single annulets on either side, very rare, NGC VG details / environmental damage, ex-Sedwick-Downing, ex-Hubbard. Nesmith-8 for type / 8; S-M2; Cal-42; KM-unl (6 for type). 1.36 grams. As with many ½ real coins, this one is not a perfect specimen, given its spotty toning, uneven strike and small areas of dark “horn” silver; however, it is the only NGC-certified example of oM/Fo, and in general they are not found in top condition, probably from many years of use. Assayer-G coins of this denomination with an over-assayer are very rare, with fewer than ten known. NGC #8228456-015. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection, with his tag, and to the Sedwick-Downing Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

548. MEXICO, Mexico City, ½ real, Charles-Joanna, “Early Series,” assayer G at bottom between pillars, mintmark oMo-oMo (plain annulets), motto as PLV in right-leaning panel with single annulets on either side, very rare, NGC VG 10, ex-Sedwick-Downing, Calicó Plate, EAPM Plate. Nesmith-8; S-M2; Cal-42; KM-unl (6 for type). 1.36 grams. Full inner elements and legend despite flat areas, lightly toned around details, desirable pedigrees and, most important of all, one of only six known. NGC #8228454-004. Pedigreed to the Ponterio auction of January 2005 (lot 425), and Plate Coin 169 in Calicó’s Numism tica espa ola (2008) (stated on label), also Plate Coin in El Arte de la Platería Mexicana (cat. 14, p. 426), and pedigreed to the Sedwick-Downing Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

Nesmith-unlisted (58 for type); S-M6; Cal-unlisted (type 58); KM-unlisted (9 for type). 13.23 grams. Nesmith never saw any A/G over-assayer coins, and not many exist, this example with a bold and clear A punched over G, the coin overall sharply struck with full legends and interiors on a very broad flan with deep charcoal toning, typically high quality of assayer G emissions. NGC #8228456-010. Pedigreed to the Sedwick-Downing Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

Nesmith-unl; S-M8; Cal-unl; KM-18. 11.72 grams. Rarest assayer of the “Late Series” coins. Full design (the details more like AU in our opinion) on a broad, round flan enhanced by dark (typically rusty) toning over surface porosity, very bold assayer, one of only a handful of S-oM coins known to exist, a type that was unknown to Nesmith. NGC #8228454-008. From the Spanish 1554 Fleet at Padre Island, Texas, and pedigreed to the Sedwick-Downing Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage. Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.

615. MEXICO, Mexico City, cob 4 reales, Philip III, assayer F (pre-dated type), ex-Hubbard. S-M12a; KM-37.1; Cal-745. 13.32 grams. Odd shape with large notch in edge (as made), clear oMF to left and 4 to right, well-detailed full shield and cross, diamond-shaped stops and clear GRATIA in legend, some peripheral flatness due to uneven thickness, richly rainbow-toned XF . Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection, with his tag. Estimate: $250-$375.

616. MEXICO, Mexico City, cob 4 reales, Philip III, assayer F (pre-dated type), ex-Hubbard. S-M12a; KM-37.1; Cal-745. 13.25 grams. Toned Fine with good full cross, nearly full shield, clear oMF inside of bold full GRATIA in legend, heavy lamination flaw near edge. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection, with his tag.

617. MEXICO, Mexico City, cob 4 reales Royal (galano), 1612/1 F, unique. S-M17; KM-unl; Cal-unl. 13.91 grams. This unique discovery piece is effectively the earliest known dated 4 reales Mexican Royal, closely matching the details of its successor dated 1615/4/3 (also one known, from the Pat Johnson Collection), in fact the only other dated Philip III 4R known (the next being 1631) and curiously with no cleandate examples known for any of the under-digit dates. At 40 mm in diameter, the flan is fabulously broad, extending past the outer borders in places, with all legends and interior details full and bold, well centered and evenly struck (no doubling at all), just as perfect a strike as you could ask for. It is also medal-aligned, with a small hole at top (clearly old, with displaced metal and associated cracking at the coin’s surface), formerly heavily gilt (XRF tested at 9K) but with surfaces now a lightly toned golden-gray with porosity from the removal of the gilding, no worse than XF for actual wear. Of further interest is the fact that INDIARVN is misspelled with an N instead of M for the last letter, which matches both the aforementioned 1615/4/3 example in 4 reales and a known 1612 8 reales Royal. Since this piece is unique and unrecorded, and its formerly gilt surfaces cannot be properly tested, it exceeds the limitations of third party certification and is not currently certifiable by NGC and PCGS, although several Mexican experts have examined this piece and have no concerns about its authenticity. While unsuitable for slabbing until better understood, this coin’s importance to the true numismatic connoisseur is nonetheless paramount in the meantime. Estimate: $10,000-$15,000.

618. MEXICO, Mexico City, cob 4 reales, Philip III, assayer F, ex-Hubbard. 13.82 grams. Broad flan with good full cross and shield but much peripheral flatness, clear oMF, AVF with old rainbow toning. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection, with his tag. Estimate: $200-$300.

619. MEXICO, Mexico City, cob 4 reales, Philip IV, assayer D, ex-Hubbard. S-M18a; KM-38; Cal-Type 275. 13.25 grams. Rather convex flan (as made) with nice full cross-lions-castles and shield with bold oMD to left and 4 to right, deeply toned VF. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection, with his tag. Estimate: $200-$300.

620. MEXICO, Mexico City, cob 4 reales, 1658 P, with small chopmark from circulation in Asia, rare. S-M19; KM-38; Cal-1076. 13.33 grams. Roundish flan but with four sharp points, part of edge bent and straightened, very clear date outside of oM mintmark, nearly full cross with asterisk-shaped chopmark below but only top-left part of shield due to poor centering (hence the clear date) and peripheral flatness, lightly toned VF overall. Estimate: $300-$450.

621. MEXICO, Mexico City, cob 4 reales, (1705) J/L, extremely rare. S-M21a; KM-unl (40 for type); Cal-unl (Type 139). 13.47 grams.

Rhomboid flan with four blunted points, off-center shield (of correct size) with full and clear denomination 8, most of cross, VG with lots of flatness, spots of verdigris and brown encrustation. Estimate: $200-$300.

623. MEXICO, Mexico City, cob 2 reales, 1688 (L), extremely rare, PC S F details cleaned, finest and only example in PCGS census. S-M21; KM-unl (34 for type); Cal-unl (Type 71). 5.90 grams. Long, narrow flan with some cross but only the top-left part of shield and crown due to off-center strike that enables a very full and bold 688 of the date, nicely toned all over, one of only two examples known to us. PCGS #43256238. Estimate: $750-up.

624. MEXICO, Mexico City, cob 2 reales, 1732 F. S-M26; KM-35a; Cal-801. 5.05 grams. Long, thin, and narrow shape, which is odd for this period, also strangely underweight (but proper fineness, according to XRF, so maybe a contemporary counterfeit ), with bold full date and oMF, some shield and most of cross, toned About Fine. Estimate: $200-$300.

625. MEXICO, Mexico City, cob 1 real, 1608/7 A/F, rare. S-M16; KM-unl (27.2 for type); Cal-unl (Type 102). 2.69 grams.

627. MEXICO, Mexico City, cob ½ real, 1642/1/0 P, extremely rare. S-M19; KM-unl (22 for type); Cal-unl (Type 169). 1.66 grams. Richly toned AVF with bold full oMP to left of full monogram, good full cross, the date full and a bit chaotic but 100% clear and a match with two other examples known to us. Estimate: $200-$300.

628. MEXICO, Mexico City, cob ½ real, 1665 (P), extremely rare. S-M19; KM-unl (22 for type); Cal-573. 1.39 grams. Neat shape with two points, full and bold date but double-struck in such a way that the last digit intersects with part of the crown to make it look like 7/5, most of cross, deeply toned Fine with peripheral flatness. Estimate: $200-$300.

Klippes

629. MEXICO, Mexico City, klippe 8 reales, 1734/3 MF, NGC VF 25. S-M28; KM-48; Cal-1432. Very broad and amazingly round, with 100% full details (including legends) on both sides, deeply toned fields, surely along the lines of a “quasi-Royal” within a type for which the distinction was not so clear (and the dies were the same). NGC #4173181-012. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

763. BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 8 reales, 1643 FR, rare. S-P28; KM19a; Cal-1471. 28.04 grams. Typically crude and thick flan (overweight) with edge-crack, 100% full date (very rare thus) due to off-center strike, fairly clear assayer, uneven Fine with light toning. Estimate: $300-$450.

Very broad flan but with legends mostly flat, still with good full crown and shield and cross, plus bold denomination to left and P-R to right, AXF with some patchy rainbow toning. The significance of the relatively rare P-R to right instead of left is unknown, and while it is tempting to speculate, there appears to be no provable connection to La Plata vs. Potosí in the higher denominations, despite the fact that the move from left to right seems to have played such a role in 1R (see Stallard and Sedwick article in Sedwick Auction 30). Pedigreed to the Luis R. Ponte Collection. Estimate: $350-$500.

767. BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 4 reales, Philip II, assayer M/R (small M) to right, very rare. S-P2; KM-4.2; Cal-unl (Type 160). 9.87 grams. Well-detailed full cross and shield despite heavy wear (VG) and shaving around edge to make it perfectly round (about 25% underweight), with weak but full P-M to right as from the same dies as lot 564 in our Auction 30 showing that the P-M is clearly offset-punched over previous P-R, important as the second earliest issue of the mint.

Estimate: $250-$375.

774. BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 2 reales, Philip II, assayer R (Rincón) to left. S-P1; KM-3.2; Cal-364. 6.00 grams.

779. BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 2 reales, Philip III, assayer Q, unique error with M for H in king’s name. S-P17; KM-8; Cal-627. 6.93 grams.

Choice luster, very natural-looking and pretty, the rarer of just two denominations in a one-year type (highly sought by numismatists) struck by Romanian-Jewish gold-prospector Julius Popper using gold dust found on the beach of El P ramo in the Patagonian peninsula. Popper’s expedition, under the name of GoldWashing Company of the South (Lavaderos de Oro del Sud), achieved a sort of autonomy, with its own army and coins and postage stamps, as well as a notorious “wild west” atmosphere replete with crime and abuse of natives. Popper died suddenly and mysteriously in 1893. NGC #4321921-001. Estimate: $9,000-$13,500.

The “patacón” was Argentina’s crown-sized silver coin of the late 19th century, struck 1881 1883 at the Buenos Aires mint. The 1883 issue saw heavy circulation during a period of economic strain, leaving few survivors in high grade. Mint State examples are thus rare, and this piece tied with just one other at the top of the NGC census represents the highest quality available to collectors, a true condition rarity of Argentine numismatics.

Colombia (colonial) - Pillars

932. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, pillar 8 reales, Ferdinand VI, 1759 JV, very rare, NGC AU 53, ex-Patterson (cover). Restrepo-10.1; Cal-539; KM-33; Yonaka-B8.59. Rich, original, steely blue-gray toning over lustrous surfaces offering exceptional eye appeal for the type, a perfect combination of rarity and quality, with well-detailed pillars-and-globes and crowned arms showing no weakness anywhere but with distinctive planchet flaw over the E in FERDND, giving this example a unique identity among the very few known survivors. Extremely rare as the first year of Colombian pillar dollars and the only issue under Ferdinand VI. By royal order of 1751, the Nuevo Reino (Bogot ) mint of the Viceroyalty of New Granada was incorporated into the Royal Treasury and directed to adopt the pillar-type coinage with mintmark NR, issued under assayers Joaquín Burgos and Victoriano del Valle. Implementation took years, however, and the dollar-sized coins were not struck until 1759. Restrepo estimates that fifteen examples exist, but only about half of those have hit the market in recent decades, all highly prized as among the rarest and most important coins of the Colombian colonial series. The present lot is a magnificent example of the first Colombian pillar dollar, and a major opportunity to acquire a cornerstone of Spanish-American numismatics. NGC #8485482-001. Pedigreed to the Alexander Patterson Collection (Bonham’s auction of July 1996, lot 296, pictured on the back cover of the catalog) and to the Ponterio auction of January 2004 (lot 1634).

Narrow rectangular flan, VF or better with light olive color throughout, struck in debased silver under Ferdinand VII sometime after the Spanish retook Cartagena in 1815, using a crosslions-castles and Philip monogram to resemble prior cobs that were of proper silver content. Estimate: $750-$1,100.

Colombia (Republic)

934. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, gold 4 escudos, 1826 JF, rare, NGC VF 25. Restrepo-164.1; Sed-5; KM-96; Fr-69. Desirable straight-grade example with just honest wear, minor rim-bumps, very popular one-year issue as the only 4 escudos of independent Colombia, rated RRR in Sedwick who said: “Not only a one-year type but also the only 4 escudos of Colombia as a nation, and was probably of low mintage. Almost never is the piece seen in any but low grade.” NGC #1523491-006. Estimate: $3,000-$4,500.

Colombia (Republic of New Granada)

935. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, gold (10 pesos), 1856/5, rare. Restrepo-207.4; Sed-unl (14 for type); KM-unl (116.1 for type); Fr-79. 16.36 grams.

Obverse with DECRETO / LEJISLATIVO / DE 17 DE OCTUBRE / DE / 1854.; reverse with wreath encircling HONOR / A LA LEALTAD I / PATRIOTISMO / EN DEFENSA / DE LA MORAL / I DE LA / CONSTITUCION. Well struck and well preserved, with only faint traces of original color and luster, minimal small marks, rare in this grade. This medal was issued as an award to defenders of the Constitutional Government after the quelling of a coup by General José María Melo; it was to be struck in gold and silver, with copper pieces like this one considered to be trial strikes. Notably, no Colombian copper coins were being made at this time, and this copper medal is the same size as the prior copper 1 décimo of 1847-48, even with similar wreath on reverse. NGC #8484762-001. Estimate: $250-$375.

Colombia (United States of Colombia)

937. COLOMBIA, Popayán, gold 20 pesos, 1873, PCGS MS62. Restrepo-339.10; KM-142.3; Fr-100. 32.25 grams.

Bold details with deep gray-olive toning, minimal luster, a very rare grade for this type, officially Colombia’s final 2 reales, struck about 22 years after the previous issue, using reworked 1862/48 dies, and one of the last coins ever made at the Popay n mint. This is the first appearance of this exact coin at auction. NGC #6287448-005. Estimate: $1,000-up.

Choice mirror luster and bold details (typically slightly flat on standing native), very minor filing on rim below date, more like UNC in our estimation, desirable one-year type with interesting denomination stated in exergue as “½ OZ.” NGC #3888266-009. Estimate: $1,750-$2,500.

947. COSTA RICA, San José, gold 2 escudos, 1854 JB, NGC AU details / cleaned. KM-99; Fr-8. Very choice bold strike with fully detailed Indian, deep red-gold toning over luster, minor rim-bump and light hairlines, a coin to be appreciated more for its strike than for its preservation.

Beautifully lustrous with patches of light rainbow toning and dark streak of metal flaw from 11 to 5 o’clock on obverse, similar to the regular issue starting in 1880 but with last two digits of date missing and with different reverse legend (also lacking the assayer initials) that is in fact more like the famously rare 20 pesos of 1873. PCGS #44993454. Pedigreed to the Pat Johnson Collection. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

Crusader States

953. CRUSADER STATES, Chios, Maona Society, gold ducat (imitation Venetian zecchino of Andrea Dandolo, 1343-54), no date (ca. 1347-1566), NGC MS 65. Fr-2A (imitation of Fr-1221, Montenegro-93). Bold and pristine details with strong luster and choice yellow color. NGC #3350130-001. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

Cuba (Republic)

954. CUBA, struck at the Gorham Mint, proof 1 peso, 1898, NGC PF 63, “top pop.” KM-A8 (XM15). Mirror-field luster with sharply struck and frosty details, lovely red toning at rims, choice original surfaces, tied with three others for finest in the NGC census.

As one of the most elusive issues of the Cuban Revolutionary series, struck in 1898 by the Junta Revolucionaria Cubana in cooperation with the famed New York firm Gorham Co., this coin’s historical backdrop is as compelling as the coin itself. On February 15, 1898, the U.S. battleship Maine exploded in Havana harbor, catalyzing the Spanish-American War. The Junta quickly seized the opportunity to issue a patriotic silver peso, the first Cuban coin to bear the denomination PESO, replacing the word SOUVENIR from earlier trial strikes with UN PESO and reaffirming its intended role as a national statement rather than just a token.

According to Roberto Pesant’s classic study, only 1,000 pieces of this type were minted in March 1898. Proof examples are extraordinarily rare, and even within the already limited mintage this coin is scarcer than the 1897 Type I by emission count.

Proof Revolutionary issues from Cuba are seldom seen at all, and finding one at the very top of the census is exceedingly rare, even by Cuban standards. This coin represents the pinnacle of Cuban proof coinage available to collectors.

A superb opportunity to acquire not just a top-graded specimen, but a tangible relic of Cuba’s path to independence, a numismatic cornerstone in museum-quality preservation. NGC #6980766-002. Estimate: $10,000-up.

955. CUBA, Havana mint, off-metal trial proof gold 100 pesos struck in brass, 1977, Lenin, very rare, NGC PF 64. Aledón-11 (for issue in gold); KM-unl (type 42 for issue in gold). Bright brassy luster overlain here and there with speckles of rainbow toning, the details frosty and sharp, second finest (behind an MS 66) of just three in the NGC census. This is a brass trial strike of the proposed 100 pesos “Lenin” type in honor of the 60th anniversary of the Socialist Revolution in Russia, the first modern gold issue attempted by Cuba’s Casa de Moneda in Havana, which opened on July 18, 1977. Produced only as tests, with most destroyed, surviving pieces like this one are of the utmost rarity as prototypes for the largest Soviet-era gold denomination. NGC #8473445-007. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

956. CUBA, Havana mint, proof 20 pesos, 1977, Lenin, rare, NGC PF 65 Ultra Cameo, ex-Busto. Aledón-12; KM-49. Full-mirror luster with frosty details exhibiting light handling marks only, sharp reeded edge. Struck in Havana to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Socialist Revolution in Russia with bust of Lenin the main feature, this was a limited collector issue of just 100 pieces, distributed mainly within Cuba and the Soviet Union. A rare Cuban proof, highly desirable in this grade. NGC #8414149-001. Pedigreed to the José O. Busto Collection. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

957. CUBA, Havana mint, gold proof piefort 100 pesos, 1989, First Train in England, very rare, NGC PF 69 Ultra Cameo. Aledón-255 (for regular issue); KM-P30. Virtually perfect Ultra Cameo Proof with full-mirror fields and frosty details, thick and massive as struck in 1-oz format but double thickness (0.999-fine gold), commemorating the 160th anniversary of the first railway in the world (Liverpool Manchester, 1830). Only 10 pieces were struck, making this an important modern Cuban rarity, virtually unobtainable outside major collections. NGC #2162562-001. Estimate: $7,000-$10,000.

958. CUBA, struck at the Tower Mint in England, gold matte proof 50 pesos, 1995, Henry Morgan, unique, NGC PF 70 atte, finest and only example in C census, ex- nternational Currency Bureau Archi e. Aledón-625 (for regular issue); KM-491 for non-matte. 13.4 grams. 26 mm. With pasted-on paper polychrome illustration of Sir Henry Morgan on obverse, struck as part of the experimental “Pirates of the Caribbean” proof and pattern series of 1995, this solid gold 50 pesos of Henry Morgan stands as the only known specimen ever made in matte proof. NGC-certified as PF 70, it represents technical perfection, with flawless surfaces and razor-sharp detail. This coin is not only the single example known, but also the only Cuban gold matte proof ever graded PF 70, marking it as a true contemporary numismatic treasure. Its unmatched quality and confirmed provenance from the International Currency Bureau Archive, sold at Glendining’s in 2001, make it one of the most important and elusive Cuban modern issues extant. NGC #8405195-013. Pedigreed to the International Currency Bureau Archive (Glendining auction 31021 of February 2001, with original lot-tag 617). Estimate: $5,000-up.

959. CUBA, struck at the Tower Mint in England, gilt brass proof piefort 50 pesos, 1995, Henry Morgan, NGC PF 68 Ultra Cameo. Aledón-625 for regular issue; KM-491 for regular issue. A stunning and highly distinctive gilt brass proof piefort of the 1995 “Pirates of the Caribbean” series featuring pirate Sir Henry Morgan in paper polychrome. This exceptional piece was part of the experimental striking and testing phase conducted prior to the final approval of the series. Heavily struck on a thick piefort planchet with deep mirrored fields and frosted relief, it displays an impressive contrast and finish worthy of its Ultra Cameo designation. A unique opportunity to acquire a true relic of the creative process behind one of Cuba’s most fascinating modern coin series and a tangible piece of the Pirates of the Caribbean numismatic legacy. NGC #8405195-014. Estimate: $500-up.

960. CUBA, struck at the Tower Mint in England, unique twelve-coin off-metal matte proof set of 1995 Henry Morgan 10 pesos in brass, gilt brass, tri-metallic (gilt brass with zinc ring), aluminum, copper, and copper-nickel-zinc (each with reeded and plain edge varieties), ex-International Currency Bureau Archive. Aledón-637 for regular issue; KM-Pn112 to PN123 for non-matte. Grades as follows: brass (reeded), NGC PF 65 Matte; brass (plain), NGC PF 64 Matte; gilt brass (reeded), NGC PF 67 Matte; gilt brass (plain), NGC PF 67 Matte; tri-metallic (reeded), NGC PF 67 Matte; tri-metallic (plain), NGC PF 66 Matte; aluminum (reeded), NGC PF 70 Matte; aluminum (plain), NGC PF 68 Matte; copper (reeded), NGC PF 67 Matte; copper (plain), NGC PF 63 Matte; copper-nickel-zinc (reeded), NGC PF 67 Matte; copper-nickel-zinc (plain), NGC PF 67 Matte. (Note: the gilding on the gilt-brass issues is extremely light and not visible to the naked eye but confirmed by XRF.)

This is a unique, complete presentation set of twelve matte-finish “pruebas” from the 1995 Cuban “Pirates of the Caribbean” numismatic series, originally packaged with the unique matte-finish gold 50 pesos in lot 958 above. Only one such full matte set was ever struck, and it was first auctioned at Glendining’s (London) on February 1, 2001, as part of the International Currency Bureau Archive. The Glendining catalogue explicitly stated: “No other coins exist. All coins in this collection are unique.” Each piece bears the words PRUEBA and ESSAI flanking the denomination on reverse, struck to test their finish, relief, and metal composition.

Now, for the first time since its appearance at Glendining’s in 2001, this legendary group resurfaces on the market, a unique and important reference collection for the Cuban proof and pattern series. Pedigreed to the International Currency Bureau Archive (Glendining auction 31021 of February 2001, lot 624). Estimate: $5,000-up.

961. CUBA, struck at the Tower Mint in England, full off-metal presentation set of twelve 1995 Henry Morgan proof 10 pesos in brass, gilt brass, tri-metallic (gilt brass with zinc ring), aluminum, copper, and copper-nickel-zinc (each with reeded and plain edge varieties) along with one regular issue in silver. Aledón-643 for regular issue; KM-112-Pn123 and 479 for regular issue. 251.09 grams total. Lovely, problem-free, proof-finish coins, each with paper polychrome picture of Sir Henry Morgan featured on obverse, comprising a single regular issue in silver and a complete set of twelve off-metal patterns in various metals marked with PRUEBA and ESSAI to either side of the denomination, all with the proper glossy proof finish (not matte like the previous lot), half with plain edge and the other half with reeded edge (one each per metal). Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

962. CUBA, Havana mint, gold proof 25 pesos, 2004, FIFA World Cup Germany 2006, NGC PF 69 Ultra Cameo, “top pop.” KM-922. 7.77 grams. Virtually perfect ¼-oz coin in 0.999-fine gold, tied with two others for finest in the NGC census, advertising the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany within Cuba’s scarce modern commemorative program, a great piece for collectors of both Cuban rarities and World Cup gold issues. NGC #8299948-010. Estimate: $750-$1,100.

Curaçao

963. CURAÇAO, 3 reaals, countermark “3” inside circular indent (1818) on a one-sixth cut of a Spanish colonial bust 8 reales, NGC G 6 / c/s AU strong. KM-28.1. Fully detailed, darkly toned, and deeply impressed countermark on crown of host coin’s reverse, minimal detail visible on other side, neatly scalloped cut edges (weight not specified). NGC #6613317-005. Estimate: $350-$500.

Session III - November 14, 2025, 9:30 AM EST

964. CURAÇAO, 3 reaals, countermark “3” inside dentilled indent (1819) on a one-sixth cut of a Lima, Peru, bust 8 reales of the early 1800s, NGC VG details / cleaned. KM-29. Nearly full, relatively shallow, and darkly toned countermark (VF) on denomination on host coin’s reverse, which also shows the Lima mintmark and assayer J(P), minimal detail on other side, somewhat crudely cut edges. NGC #6613323-004. Estimate: $350-$500.

Danish West Indies

965. DANISH WEST INDIES, Copenhagen Mint, 12 skilling, Frederick V, 1763, PCGS A 58, finest known in PC S census. Sieg-6; KM-6.2. Nice luster and sharp details, with die-clash on monogram side, faint surface granularity, minimal toning, very rare grade, even finer than an AU 53 example sold in our Auction 25 for $4500. PCGS #51289002. Estimate: $1,000-up.

Dominican Republic

966. DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, pattern 10 reales in solid silver, 1855, reeded edge, extremely rare, NGC MS 62, exWhittier (cover), ex-Byrne (both stated on label), KM Plate. KM-Pn1; Estrella-81. 26.86 grams. Choice prooflike luster and extremely sharp and frosty details, with minute bagmarks all over but choice in strike and eye appeal.

This important silver pattern represents a proposal for the first crown-sized coinage of the Dominican Republic, struck just eleven years after that country regained independence in 1844. The denomination of 10 reales was unusual for the period, recalling the famous Santo Domingo issue of Charles and Johanna of the early 1500s, while most contemporary Latin American countries were adhering to the Spanish 8 reales standard until shifting to the decimal peso. A circulating crown would not appear in the Dominican Republic until the 5 francos of 1891 (see next lot), making this pattern a historic precursor.

This piece has long been regarded as one of the great rarities of Dominican numismatics, described in Ray Byrne as “the rarest coin of this island” and in Whittier as “one of the great rarities of the entire Latin American Numismatic series.” It was originally cataloged in error as silver-plated copper (Byrne) and then as solid silver (Whittier), which specific gravity testing by NGC has confirmed. The NGC census currently records three silver examples (the other two being MS 63 and MS 64, which should be tested to confirm they are solid silver), along with two in silvered copper (one in Proof) and one in copper, but only the present coin and two others have appeared at auction since 2005.

A lovely coin of the highest rarity and importance, both as the first proposed crown of the Dominican Republic and as one of the rarest patterns of the Caribbean. NGC #8473555-001. Pedigreed to the Whittier Collection (Heritage Auction of June 2006 [lot 16865], where this coin was featured as the sole front cover coin) and to the Ray Byrne Collection (Jess Peters auction of April 1975, lot 450), Plate Coin in M’s Standard Catalog references. Estimate: $50,000-up.

967. DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, struck at the Paris mint, 5 francos, 1891-A, NGC MS 63, ex-Busto. KM-12. Deep steelblue toning over luster, several small bagmarks only, choice grade for this popular one-year type that represents the first circulating crown of the independent Dominican Republic. NGC #2783545-003. Pedigreed to the José O. Busto Collection. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

968. DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, 1 peso, 1897-A, NGC MS 62, ex-Busto, ex-Baez. KM16. Cartwheel luster with light golden toning at rims (only), typical bagmarks, desirable grade for this classic one-year crown struck in Philadelphia from dies produced in Paris. NGC #2753743-003. Pedigreed to the Baez Collection (stated on label) and to the José O. Busto Collection. Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.

969. DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, 1 peso, 1939, NGC MS 62, ex-Busto. KM-22. Lightly gold toned over muted luster, minimal bagmarks, choice grade overall. NGC #2752651-017. Pedigreed to the José O. Busto Collection. Estimate: $700-$1,000.

970. DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, gold 30 pesos, 1955, 25th anniversary of the Trujillo regime, NGC MS 61. KM-24; Fr-1. Rich gold color and cartwheel luster, somewhat bagmarked but without wear, from a reported mintage of 33,000 coins (0.8572 oz AGW). NGC #8405198-001. Estimate: $3,000-$4,500.

971. DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, gilt copper proof piefort pattern 100 pesos (off-metal strike), 1980, Enriquillo, pillar dollar reverse, PCGS SP65. KM-unl (cf XP6). Rich gold color as thickly gilt (XRF tested at 5% gold), with nice frosty details including the bust of the Taino cacique Enriquillo, from an unofficial pattern issue that was struck with two reverses (the other being a Santo Domingo early pillars design from the 1500s, per the KM listing referenced here) with an estimated total of 40 struck in this pillar-dollar design, unlisted in piefort for this metal. The PCGS slab shows some cracks on the plastic only. PCGS #51204434. Estimate: $300-$450.

972. DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, struck at the Mexico City mint, brass 1 peso pattern, 1989, very rare, NGC PF 66 Ultra Cameo, finest known in C census. KM-unl. With deeply mirrored fields and strong cameo contrast against a simple design of REPUBLICA DOMINICANA above 1 PESO and 1989 on one side and FICHA PRUEBA / CASA DE MONEDA / DE MEXICO / oM on the other side, plain edge, this was an experimental striking that was never adopted for circulation and is seldom offered publicly, with only one other example appearing in the NGC census, interesting piece appealing to collectors of both Dominican Republic and Mexico City-mint products. NGC #6208090-022. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

973. EC AD R, uito, gold 8 escudos, 1845 , no flag poles, very rare, PCGS VF30. Seppa/Anderson-94; KM-31; Fr-7. Broad flan with full rims, deep red toning in legends, weakly struck just left of center (both sides) but overall problem-free with honest wear and a desirable example of this classic Latin American rarity in a one-year design showing bare-head bust of Bolívar facing left with incuse BOLIVAR on truncation on obverse and unique coat-of-arms on reverse left over from 1844 that comes either with flagpoles sticking out the bottom or without (this being the latter, which is considered rarer). PCGS #46975797. Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.

974. ECUADOR, Quito, gold 4 escudos, 1836 FP, NGC VF 35. Seppa/Anderson-80; KM-19; Fr-4. Full details despite moderate even wear, no problems, traces of toning around the elements. NGC #8411546-003. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

El Salvador (Republic)

975. ECUADOR, Quito, ¼ real, 1849 GJ, NGC MS 61 (EMO Collection Label), EMO Plate. Seppa/Anderson-7; KM-36. Bold strike including nearly full rims (slightly off-center), faintly toned over luster, choice grade for this type. NGC #2906234-033. Pedigreed to the Emilio M. Ortiz Collection, Plate Coin 2706.2 in his book. Estimate: $600-$900.

976. ECUADOR, struck at the Mexico City Mint, 5 sucres, 1943, NGC MS 66, “top pop.” Seppa/Anderson-232; KM-79. Incredibly frosty cartwheel luster with minimal bagmarks, traces of die-breaks, currently tied with six others for finest known in the NGC census. Seppa/Anderson notes that “a large number” of these coins (among 55 tons of Ecuadorian silver) were melted in 1965 by one U.S. refinery, as the silver content was worth twice the face value. NGC #6951173004. Estimate: $200-$300.

977. EL SALVADOR, copper 1 centavo, 1892, PCGS MS64 Red-Brown. KM-108. Choice example with much original and cartwheel luster, no wear or marks but the rims weak in places (as made), interesting central design of a Phrygian cap representing Liberty. PCGS #48265867. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

978. EL SALVADOR, struck at the Mexico City Mint, 1 colón, 1925, 400th Anniversary of the Founding of San Salvador, NGC MS 64. KM-131. Bright and frosty white with luster, minimal bagmarks, light die-polish lines all over, one-year commemorative exhibiting portraits of Conquistador Pedro de Alvarado and President Alfonso Qui ónez Molina. NGC #6821728-019. Estimate: $350-$500.

979. EL SALVADOR, struck at the Mexico City Mint, pattern 1 peso restrike, 1861, NGC PF 63. KM-X5c. Bold strike with prominent bust of President Gerardo Barrios (a ca.-1971 restrike of an 1861 pattern that was not adopted for regular coin production), lustrous surfaces showing fine die-polish lines, minimal incipient toning. NGC #6638558-004. Estimate: $300-$450.

France

Resplendent luster and sharp details, no wear but some minor marks, attributed to 1st semester as lacking a privy mark below the D of LUD. NGC #140106-011. Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.

981. FRANCE, Paris mint, gold louis d’or aux insignes, Louis XIV, 1704-A. Gad254; Dupl-1446A; KM-367; Fr-439. 6.57 grams. Lightly red-toned AU-, with sharp full details despite being struck over a previous issue (the under-coin date of 1700 barely visible), a few marks and evidence of old cleaning. Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.

Great Britain

982. GREAT BRITAIN, Bank of England, half dollar, George III, bust in oval indent countermark (1797) on a Madrid, Spain, bust 4 reales, Charles IV, 1794 MF, PCGS AU50 / c/m AU detail. Sp-3767; KM-622.1. Rich original toning over rather muted luster, full and deeply impressed countermark, very attractive example of this popular type. PCGS #44025506. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

985. GUADELOUPE, 9 livres (9 shillings), crenelated square hole in center and crowned-G countermarks (1811) on a Mexico City, Mexico, bust 8 reales, Charles III, 1788 FM, NGC VG 10, c/s VF standard, ex-Busto. Prid-2; Gad-30; KM-24. Host coin with full date and fairly well-defined portrait for the grade, with both crowned-G countermarks bold and clear outside the well-defined crenelated central punch-hole, deep silvergray tone with honest wear. Authorized by decree of May 9, 1811, during a severe monetary shortage in Guadeloupe, when circulating Spanish dollars were revalued to 9 livres for local use. A scarce and highly collectible Caribbean cut-and-countermarked issue, seldom seen this complete. NGC #4494708-008. Pedigreed to the José O. Busto Collection. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

Guatemala - The Darby Collection of Guatemala Silver Cobs

986. GUATEMALA, Guatemala City, cob 8 reales, 1733 J, very rare, NGC XF details / saltwater damage / Hollandia (Shipwreck Blue Label). S-G1; Cal-1237; KM-6; JP-8R1b. 26.72 grams. Big, rectangular flan with bold full pillars-and-globes and shield despite off-center strike, clear 33 of date and bold full denomination 8 , traces of dark oxidation but practically corrosion-free. The Guatemala cob 8 reales of 1733 is officially the first “dollar” of Central America, struck just one year after the comparatively common but highly lauded 1732 first-date pillar dollar of Mexico and using the same basic design but without the benefit of proper milling equipment. NGC #6281056-003. From the Hollandia (1743), pedigreed to the Darby Collection of Guatemala Silver Cobs (stated on label). Estimate: $5,000-up.

987. GUATEMALA, Guatemala City, cob 8 reales, 1734 J, NGC VF details / saltwater damage / Rooswijk (Shipwreck Blue Label). S-G1; Cal-1238; KM-6; JP-8R2. Thick flan (sort of a curvy rectangle) with very bold full date below high-grade waves (much better than the label grade), full king’s name PHILIP below assayer on other side, some streaks of dark toning but minimal surface pitting, scarce second date of issue.

Choice rainbow toning over muted luster, the reverse quite sharp but the bust slightly weak (overall closer to AU in our opinion), slightly irregular edge (as made, rims intact), tied with just one other for finest at NGC, with only eight to ten examples known in total. NGC #2006506-007. Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet. Estimate: $10,000-$15,000.

1070. GUATEMALA, Guatemala City, gold bust 4 escudos, Charles IV, 1797 M, very rare, ex-Rudman. JP-4E36; KM-57; Cal-1448; Fr-19. 13.37 grams. VF with splashes of attractive red toning but crudely plugged at bottom (effacing the date’s middle digits), probably done long ago to restore the coin to proper weight more than to fool collectors, in any case among only eight to ten known, none of which have appeared at auction in recent decades. Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet (stated on label), with his original numbered cardboard holder. Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.

1071. GUATEMALA, Guatemala City, gold bust 4 escudos, Charles IV, 1801/797 M, extremely rare, NGC VF details / mount removed, ex-Rudman. JP-4E37; KM-57; Cal-1449; Fr-19. Overdate weak but noticeable with part of first 7 in bottom loop of 8 plus part of second 7 under 1, the bust a little weak but the rest of the strike well defined, spot of rose gold from mounting at top, one of just two in the NGC census (the other AU details), with none offered publicly in recent decades. NGC #6845788-005. Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet (stated on label), with his original numbered cardboard holder. Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.

1072. GUATEMALA, Guatemala City, gold bust 2 escudos, Charles IV, 1794 M, very rare, NGC AU 55. JP-2E35; Cal-1252; KM-56; Fr-20. Strong luster and choice full details, nearly full rims, hints of light red toning, faint light hairlines in obverse fields, very choice grade and reportedly one of only eight to ten known, this being the second finest at NGC behind a single MS 62, a superior piece from a very rare series. NGC #1522879-002. Estimate: $10,000-$15,000.

1073. GUATEMALA, Guatemala City, gold bust 2 escudos, Ferdinand , 1817 , rare, C S 63, finest known in NGC census, ex-Clapp, ex-Eliasberg. JP-2E40; Cal-1592; KM-70; Fr-24. Intensely lustrous and extremely well struck with full details and rims (reverse slightly off-center), also richly toned, a very beautiful coin and clearly the best for this rare date at the end of the rare Guatemala bust gold series, the sole finest known of just ten examples in the NGC census. NGC #1839175-012. Pedigreed to the John H. Clapp Collection and to the Louis E. Eliasberg Collection (American Numismatic Rarities auction of April 2005, lot 3029). Estimate: $10,000-up.

Sedwick Auction 38 1074. GUATEMALA, Guatemala City, gold bust 2 escudos, Ferdinand VII, 1817 M, rare, NGC AU 58, ex-Rudman. JP-2E40; KM-70; Cal-1592; Fr-24. Superb strike with red toning over strong luster, minor handling marks on obverse for the assigned grade, still quite pretty overall and one of the best of ten straight-graded in the NGC census. NGC #6845788-006. Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet (stated on label), with his original numbered cardboard holder. Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.

1075. GUATEMALA, Guatemala City, gold bust 1 escudo, Ferdinand VII, 1817 M. JP-1E40; Cal-1495; KM-74; Fr-25. 3.36 grams. AU- with splashy red toning, muted luster, full rims, but several small lamination flaws on obverse, scarce final date of a generally rare series. Estimate: $600-$900.

Guatemala (colonial) - Busts

1076. GUATEMALA, Guatemala City, bust 8 reales, Ferdinand VII transitional (bust of Charles IV), 1809 M, NGC AU 58. JP-8R78; Cal-1221; KM-64. Bold strike with clear date and sharp details, deeply toned (especially the obverse) with golden highlights over nice luster, a rather attractive example of this scarce transitional issue, among the top four graded by NGC. NGC #6065235-005. Estimate: $1,750-$2,500.

Guatemala (Central American Republic)

1077. GUATEMALA (Central American Republic), Guatemala City, 8 reales, 1829 M, NGC AU 55. KM-4. Bright surfaces overlain with light colorful toning, mainly along the legends, retaining strong original luster and a well-centered strike, just some weak areas in centers but overall sharp and attractive. NGC #2897398-010. Estimate: $600-$900.

1078. GUATEMALA (Central American Republic), Guatemala City, 8 reales, 1837 BA, planchet error, NGC Mint

Error AU details / rev damage. KM-4. Boldly struck with fully detailed volcanoes and sunface and Ceiba tree, all exhibiting light toning over bright luster, the date side slightly off-center and spotting a small flaw on the rim (as made) but the tree side just as bold and well centered as possible. Scarce mid-period issue seldom seen in this quality, unique and desirable as a certified mint error. NGC #8412670-003. Estimate: $350-$500.

1079. GUATEMALA (Central American Republic), Guatemala City, 8 reales, 1839/7 MA/BA, NGC VF 35. KM-4. Lustrous with hints of gray toning, a few marks but minimal wear as the Ceiba tree is just lightly struck (more like XF or better in our opinion), otherwise well struck with fully detailed sunface and volcanoes, relatively clear 9/7 overdate and M/B over-assayer but neither noted on label, solid example overall of this scarce date. NGC #2674875-007.

Estimate: $250-$375.

1080. GUATEMALA (Central American Republic), Guatemala City, 8 reales, 1840 MA, PCGS XF45. KM-4. Sharp strike well-detailed sunface, bold volcanoes with flattening on high points and same for the Ceiba tree, lustrous surfaces with light golden toning, darker spot to right of denomination, minor marks only. PCGS #49319048. Estimate: $250-$375.

1081. GUATEMALA (Central American Republic), Guatemala City, 8 reales, 1840/37 MA/BA, NGC AU details / cleaned. KM-4. Lustrous with very sharp sunface and legends (including overdate and over-assayer), bold volcanoes and Ceiba tree with a minimum of flatness in the leaves, faintly toned, with light marks and hairlines, still a choice example overall. NGC #8411546-001. Estimate: $400-$600.

1082. GUATEMALA (Central American Republic), Guatemala City, 8 reales, 1847 A, NGC AU details / mount removed. KM-4. Choice strike with crisp full details including sunface and Ceiba tree (just some high-point flatness on lower leaves), attractive light toning over muted luster, the edge re-engraved at 12 o’clock following loop removal but overall an attractive and desirable example of this popular final date of C.A.R. issue, scarce this nice. NGC #8411546-002. Estimate: $300-$450.

1083. GUATEMALA (Central American Republic), Guatemala City, ¼ real, 1837, NGC MS 66. KM-1. Bright white with resplendent luster, also choice strike with 100% full details and rims, very flashy and pretty. NGC #6681309-004. Estimate: $350-$500.

Guatemala (Republic)

1084. GUATEMALA, Guatemala City, gold 16 pesos, Carrera, 1869 R, NGC MS 61. KM-188; Fr-39. Rich gold color, highly lustrous, with surface hairlines and minor marks but practically no wear, desirable two-year type with only 3,465 pieces struck for this date, very few known in Mint State. It is interesting to note that this series comprised a base-8 denomination system (4-8-16 pesos) concurrently with a base-10 system (5-10-20 pesos), the former not just in smaller weights but also in lower fineness (0.875 versus 0.900). NGC #6960303-002. Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.

1085. GUATEMALA, Guatemala City, gold 4 pesos, Carrera, 1869 R, NGC MS 61. KM-187; Fr-43. Highly lustrous but somewhat bagmarked, light yellow color, attractively flashy overall (0.1904 oz AGW). NGC #3157865-006. Estimate: $750-$1,100.

1086. GUATEMALA, struck at the Philadelphia mint, gold 20 quetzales, 1926, PCGS MS63. KM-246; Fr-48. Brilliant and sharply struck, with rich gold color and full cartwheel luster on satin surfaces, all details bold and crisp and the fields clean with only light bagmarks typical of the issue. Excellent eye appeal and strong strike definition throughout. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint to commemorate Guatemala’s centennial of independence, this impressive one-year type is one of the most iconic Latin American gold coins of the 20th century. Scarce in Choice Mint State, with only a handful graded finer at PCGS, this is a standout example of this large and beautiful commemorative issue, highly desired for its elegant and ephemeral design. PCGS #34158567. Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.

1087. HAITI, pattern crown (2 gourdes), Henri I, King of Northern Haiti, 1811 / L’AN 8, small date, very rare, PCGS MS62. KM-X11. Well struck and sharply detailed, with deep gray toning over traces of luster throughout, one of the finest known survivors of this elusive type featuring a laureate armored bust of Henri I. This locally struck pattern without denomination was made shortly after Henri’s coronation as King of Northern Haiti and is a celebrated rarity in early Haitian numismatics. The small-date variety is particularly elusive and absent in most major collections. PCGS #50454700. Estimate: $8,000-up.

1088. HA T , copper 6 centimes, 1849 A 46, C S 63 B , finest known in NGC census. KM-32. Choice cartwheel luster (unusual on copper), with typically weak centers but lacking any wear on the slightly granular surfaces (as made), exceptional quality for this type. NGC #6271420-010. Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.

Honduras (Republic)

1089. HONDURAS, struck at the Paris Mint, copper-nickel proof pattern 1 real, 1869, E below date, ery rare, C PF 64, finest known in C census. KM-Pn9. Choice luster with faint golden toning, a modicum of carbon spots but no wear and practically no marks, from a series of essais for new copper-nickel coinage that ended in failure, replaced by dismal bronze issues, the original patterns like this one quite rare, with only a few known, this being the finest of just three in the NGC census. NGC #6922485-006. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

1090. HONDURAS, Tegucigalpa, gold 5 pesos, 1883, ery rare, PC S S63, finest and only example in PCGS census. KM-53; Fr-6. Bold and atypically sharp details throughout, with strong luster and rich color, no wear and minimal marks, remarkably choice strike and grade for this first year of a notoriously rare and extremely low-mintage series. Very few offerings of the 5 pesos have appeared at auction, especially in Mint State, making this an important and desirable opportunity for advanced collectors of Latin American gold or for anyone looking to assemble a type-set of Republic issues. PCGS #49602151. Estimate: $8,000-$12,000.

Session III - November 14, 2025, 9:30 AM EST

1091. HONDURAS, Tegucigalpa, gold 5 pesos, 1895/85, very rare, NGC AU details / cleaned. KM-53; Fr-6. Bold and fully detailed strike with typical slight crudeness and nicks in the tall rims, rich golden color with traces of red highlights, from a reported mintage of just 20 pieces for this date among a notoriously rare series, this example with bold overdate in fact in far better preservation than generally seen, as most survivors are encountered with issues or evidence of jewelry use (only two appearing in numeric grade at NGC, both AU), the noted cleaning on this piece extremely subtle and in fact limited to some marks at the top on the reverse. NGC #8412670-001. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

1092. HONDURAS, Tegucigalpa, copper off-metal trial strike for gold 5 pesos, 1908/1888, very rare, NGC XF details / damaged. KM-unl (53 for regular issue); Fr-6 (for regular issue). Only a few examples of this die-trial are known, struck on a copper flan but using dies for the very rare gold 5 pesos of 1888 with the date clearly modified to 1908 (the overdate not noted on label), most impaired as seen here (with several small voids and gouges), yet this example with full and relatively non-worn details and nice even brown color throughout. NGC #8414150-001. Estimate: $500-up.

1093. HONDURAS, Tegucigalpa, gold 1 peso, 1895, rare, NGC AU details / removed from jewelry. KM-56; Fr-7. Bright with luster and light gold color (also as formerly mounted in jewelry), a rather acceptable example of one of the rarest issues of the Honduran gold series, with a reported mintage of just 43 pieces, seldom seen on the market. NGC #8414150-002. Estimate: $700-$1,000.

1094. HONDURAS, Tegucigalpa, 1 peso, 1890, NGC MS 62, “top pop.” KM-52. Prooflike luster overlain with dusky gray toning on the design elements, all well struck (a few high points weak) and lacking marks or wear, currently tied with four others for finest in the NGC census. NGC #8412671-001. Estimate: $800-$1,200.

1095. HONDURAS, Tegucigalpa, bronze 1 centavo mule, 1895, obverse die for 10 centavos 1871 with date modified, rare. KM-63. 2.58 grams. Following the failed experiment with elegant coppernickel coinage from Paris in 1869-71 (see lot 1089), the Tegucigalpa mint issued bronze coinage that devolved in 1895 to dismal productions from muled and modified old dies, this being an example of KM-35 (obv) and 40 (rev), always seen in low grade as here (Fair with corroded surfaces), this example also with interesting variation in color of the copper content, one of reportedly only eight to ten known. Estimate: $350-$500.

1096. HONDURAS, Tegucigalpa, bronze 1 centavo, 1896, NGC MS 63 BN. KM-46. From the second series showing denomination “1” instead of “UN,” this example typically unevenly struck with some details bold and others weak but lacking wear and retaining traces of original luster and color in places, second highest grade in NGC census. NGC #2767451-029. Estimate: $250-$375.

1097. H D RAS, Tegucigalpa, copper 1 centa o, 190 , small 0, PC S S 63 B , finest and only example in PCGS census. KM-46. Choice strike with tall rims and all but some of the highest points well defined, traces of original color and luster, the best at PCGS and tying NGC’s best in Brown (with one finer at MS 64 in Red-Brown) for the small-0 variety. PCGS #48265061. Estimate: $200-$300.

1098. HONDURAS, Tegucigalpa, copper 1 centavo, 1904, NGC VF 35 BN, ex-O’Brien. KM-46. Even strike with high points wear and/or worn, with nice even chocolate color throughout. NGC #5903032-002. Pedigreed to the John ’Brien Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $200-$300.

1099. HONDURAS, Tegucigalpa, copper 1 centavo, 1910, mule with altered ½c reverse, PC S F45, finest and only example in PC S census. KM-66. Well-centered and relatively decent strike with full details except for high points that are also lightly worn, even brown color, an interesting muling with older reverse die (KM-45) with denomination modified from ½ to 1. PCGS #47279083. Estimate: $250-$375.

1100. HONG KONG (British Colony), struck in London, bronze 1 mil, 1864, very rare, PCGS MS63 BN. Prid-194; Mars-C1; KM-1. A very rare date of this small, center-holed bronze issue, with only a few major auction appearances in the last decade. Struck at the London Mint during the early years of Hong Kong’s coinage, this type saw very limited production, its modest mintage swiftly supplanted by later issues. As a result, few 1864-dated survivors exist today.

This specimen, never before offered at auction, shows reddish-tan mint luster on chocolate-brown surfaces, with choice details and great eye appeal. It is tied with only three others for finest with the Brown designation at PCGS (with one other at same top grade at NGC).

An important opportunity for advanced collectors of the Hong Kong series, this date missing from most specialized cabinets, seldom encountered and highly desirable in Mint State. PCGS #57567023. Estimate: $10,000-up.

Hungary

1101. HUNGARY, Kremnitz mint, taler, Joseph II, 1782-B, NGC MS 63. KM-395.1; Dav-1168. Brilliant Mint State with strong cartwheel luster and iridescent gold-blue peripheral toning. Sharp strike showing full detail in Madonna and Child and in the crowned arms with angels. Choice surfaces with no significant marks, superb eye appeal for the type. Among the finest certified examples of this issue. NGC #4919398-001. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

1111. JAPAN, Osaka mint, proof 20 sen, Emperor Mutsuhito, Meiji year 13 (1880), extremely rare, NGC PF 60. KM-Y24; JNDA-unl. Very rare proof, boldly struck with sharp details in dragon and wreath, mirrored fields with very light toning, only faint handling consistent with the grade. From the special Meiji-13 proof set of 1880, mintage just 96 pieces, struck for diplomatic presentation. No complete sets are known, only two documented partial sets of eleven coins each (Pittman/Farouk [Akers auction of August 1999] and Commander [Heritage auction of January 2017]), confirming the great rarity of every denomination.

Once believed unique, this denomination is now represented by only a handful of survivors. This example, never before offered at auction, adds to the known census as one of perhaps four confirmed. Important opportunity for advanced collectors of Japanese proof coinage. NGC #8473553-001. Estimate: $30,000-up.

1112. JAPAN, 1 yen, Emperor Meiji (1852-1912), 1895 (Meiji 28), PCGS MS63. KM-YA25.3; Dav-247; JNDA-1-10A; J V-Q-23. 26.92 grams. 38.1 mm.

The Meiji 1 yen was Japan’s main trade dollar of the late 19th century, struck to compete with the Mexican peso and accepted across East Asia. The 1895 issue, contemporary with Japan’s victory in the First Sino-Japanese War, is scarce in Mint State and quite desirable at this grade level. PCGS #59013663. Estimate: $500-$750.

1113. JAPAN, gold 20 yen, Emperor Taisho (1912-1926), 1917, PCGS MS 67. KM-Y40.2; JNDA-01-6. Superb Gem Mint State with blazing cartwheel luster and sharp details, essentially flawless surfaces and outstanding eye appeal. The Taisho 20 yen was struck only in small numbers from 1912 to 1920, most later melted in a 1930s recall that left very few survivors. Rare this nice and a true condition rarity for Japanese gold. PCGS #80786306. Estimate: $7,500-$11,000.

1114. MEXICO, Mexico City, gold bust 8 escudos, Philip V, 1743 MF, NGC AU details / saltwater damage. Cal-2247; KM-148; Fr-8.

1115. MEXICO, Mexico City, gold bust 8 escudos, Charles IV, 1805 TH. Cal-1649; KM-159; Fr-43. 27.00 grams. Highly lustrous UNC with faint surface hairlines, full details and nearly complete rims, rather flashy and choice. Estimate: $3,000-$4,500.

1116. MEXICO, Mexico City, gold contemporary counterfeit bust 8 escudos, Ferdinand VII, 1818/6 TH. 27.02 grams. A curious die-struck counterfeit in proper gold (rich color, toned in legends), lightly circulated in its time (AU) with hairlines from cleaning, minor die-cracks and flaws, could pass for genuine except for style of digits of date and incorrect assayer (should be JJ), the overdate clear. Estimate: $3,000-$4,500.

1117. MEXICO, Mexico City, gold bust 4 escudos, Charles III, 1788 FM, PCGS VF30. Cal-1829; KM-142.1; Fr-34. Lightly worn but softly struck centers with much luster in legends (closer to XF in our opinion), full rims and only minimal marks. PCGS #56074628. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

1118. MEXICO, Mexico City, gold bust 2 escudos, Philip V, 1741 MF, NGC AU details / cleaned. Cal-1907; KM-124; Fr-10. Lightly red-toned with only minor high-point wear and marks, light hairlines in fields, scarce early type. NGC #8415502-006. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

1120. MEXICO, Mexico City, gold bust 1 escudo, Ferdinand VI, 1754 MF, NGC AU details / cleaned. Cal-615; KM-115.2; Fr-20. Lustrous and bold, with only minor marks and high-point flattening, hairlines in fields, scarce type. NGC #8415502-007. Estimate: $500-$750.

1121. MEXICO, Mexico City, gold bust 1 escudo, Charles (first bust), 1765 F, C F 35. Cal-1380; KM-117; Fr-32. Lightly struck but problem-free and with only minor wear (more like XF or better in our opinion), neat magenta toning over muted luster. NGC #8415502-008. Estimate: $500-$750.

1122. MEXICO, Mexico City, gold bust 1 escudo, Charles III, 1775 FM. Cal-1393; KM-118.2; Fr-36. 2.92 grams. AU- with splashes of magenta toning, subtle luster. Estimate: $400-$600.

1123. MEXICO, Mexico City, gold bust 1 escudo, Charles IV, 1807 TH. Cal-1142; KM-120; Fr-46. 3.35 grams. Spectacular deep-purple toning on bust and full rims, nearly prooflike luster on fields, AU with just a few light marks and hairlines. Estimate: $350-$500.

1124. MEXICO, Mexico City, gold bust ½ escudo, Ferdinand VII, 1815 JJ. Cal-1489; KM-112; Fr-57. 1.67 grams. Lustrous XF with flat areas in centers, faint red toning over fine hairlines, slightly off-center strike. Estimate: $200-$300.

Mexico (colonial) - Pillars

1125. MEXICO, Mexico City, pillar 8 reales, Philip V, 1732 F, three mouldings atop right pillar, very rare, NGC AU 58, ex-Ortiz (color plate). Yonaka-M8.32a; Cal-2269; KM-103. An especially attractive example of this historic issue, the first dated 8 reales struck at Mexico City in the new pillar design, a type that became the model for Spanish colonial coinage worldwide, this one boldly struck with full globes, sharp crown and pillars, and complete legends, the shield side particularly well detailed with crisp castles and lions, highlighted by superb multicolored toning over strong underlying luster that gives the coin exceptional visual appeal, in fact better in appearance than many Mint State specimens of the type. Yonaka and Gilboy record only two die varieties for this date, this being the scarcer with an extra moulding below the acanthus above the right pillar. This coin also has a distinguished pedigree to one of the most important auctions of Spanish colonial coins by type, the Emilio M. Ortiz Collection sold by Swiss Bank Corporation in 1991. According to the NGC and PCGS census, this piece ranks among the top five by grade for the date; while not the highest numerically, its superb eye appeal places it among the finest known examples, arguably the finest 1732 pillar dollar known outside of Mint State grade. Overall an outstanding combination of rarity, beauty, grade, and pedigree. NGC #8402553-001. Pedigreed to the Emilio M. Ortiz Collection (Swiss Bank Corp. auction of September 1991, lot 156, plated in color on page II of the catalog). Estimate: $50,000-up.

1126. MEXICO, Mexico City, pillar 8 reales, Philip V, 1734 MF, /\ for A in VTRAQUE, very rare, NGC MS 62+. Yonaka-M8.34b; Cal-1442; KM-103. Lightly toned over luster (darker at rims), good strike and full rims, practically no marks or hairlines, second highest grade in NGC census behind a trio of MS 63’s, clear legend error (not noted by NGC) that Yonaka rates R4 with just one example observed. NGC #6442532-001. Estimate: $3,000-$4,500.

1127. MEXICO, Mexico City, pillar 8 reales, Philip V, 1746 MF, NGC MS 63. Yonaka-M8.46; KM-103; Cal-1470. Choice Mint State example with notably bold details, especially the central design, lustrous fields and very light gray-gold toning, very faint adjustment marks in middle of shield, all quite lovely and choice, one of the finest examples known among the top 10% certified by NGC and highly desirable in this state of preservation. NGC #6631188-003. Estimate: $5,000-up.

1128. MEXICO, Mexico City, pillar 8 reales, Ferdinand VI, 1751 MF, reverse double struck, NGC Mint Error AU 55. Yonaka-M8.51; KM-104.1; Cal-475. Bold strike with nice luster throughout, minimal toning around details, the entire shield side struck twice with the second strike slightly shifted, a very rare error for this type and unique as such at NGC. NGC #1906189-014. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

1129. MEXICO, Mexico City, pillar 8 reales, Ferdinand VI, 1753 MF, NGC AU 53, ex-Pullin. Yonaka-M8.53; KM-104.1; Cal-479.

Pedigreed to the John Pullin Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $500-$750.

1130. MEXICO, Mexico City, pillar 8 reales, Ferdinand VI, 1758 MM, NGC MS 63. Yonaka-M8.58; Cal-494; KM-104.2. Superb sharp details outlined with rich rainbow toning, strongly lustrous fields, full rims, a choice beauty among the top 3% certified, tied with one other for second finest in the NGC census behind a single MS 63 . NGC #6883892-001. Estimate: $3,000-$4,500.

1131. MEXICO, Mexico City, pillar 8 reales, Charles III, 1760 MM, NGC AU 58. Yonaka-M8.60b; Cal-1073; KM-105. Muted luster overlain with rich rainbow toning, traces of hairlines in fields but practically no wear or marks. NGC #8217481-001. Estimate: $700-$1,000.

Proctor-1R.3B; S-AP4; KM-2; Cal-236. 3.43 grams. Exceptionally hard to find in numeric grade, this choice example showing full (but doubled) assayer, mintmark, and denomination, sharply detailed full shield and cross, plus small portions of legend, all very lightly toned and with traces of luster, typical die variety for this assayer lacking the arms of Aragon in the shield, one of very few known and the only one straight-graded by NGC. NGC #6288263-024. Estimate: $6,000-$9,000.

1161. PANAMA, cob ½ real, Philip II, assayer P-M, quadrants of cross transposed, extremely rare, NGC mint error

A 50 flipo er double struck. Proctor-unl (pmB/B); S-AP2; Cal-133; KM-1. 1.52 grams. Broad flan with bold and sharp full cross-lions-castles, above which is a full monogram with very clear AP to left and P to right due to an exceptionally strong and dramatic flipover double-strike (also rotated 45 degrees), the other side with most of monogram showing bold P to left and M below in addition to bold (PHIL)IPVS followed by upside-down D in legend next to a fainter impression of the cross side, the surfaces all smooth and attractively toned, lacking the typical corrosion typically seen on Panama cobs, hence even rarer as straight-graded by NGC (one of only three in the census, bettered only by an AU 53). Flipover double-strike errors are quite rare (unique in this case), but especially with so much of both sides visible, here in fact showing all the mintmark and assayer elements that are visible only piecemeal on the very few other examples known. For the specialist we note this is an unrecorded combination with a reverse die that was previously only known for subsequent assayer oX. Overall probably the most spectacular certified mint error of its type, with strong eye appeal and numismatic importance to boot. NGC #8473454-003. Estimate: $10,000-up.

1162. PANAMA, cob ½ real, Philip II, assayer oX to right, mintmark AP to left, ery rare, C F 40, finest known in NGC census. Proctor-unl (xC/-); Sed-AP1; Cal-134; KM-1. 1.60 grams. Bold full crown and monogram (well centered) with clear AP to left and oX to right, full cross with normal-sized lions and castles properly oriented in their quadrants (yet an apparently unrecorded die), interesting variety with legend of D G ISPANIARVM R (the D upside-down) on both sides (no king’s name), contrasting toning all over, with minor edge-crack. Exceptionally rare as straight-graded, and in fact the finest of just four in the NGC census. NGC #6526844-001. Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.

Panama (Republic)

1163. PANAMA, struck at the Philadelphia mint, proof 5 centésimos, 1904, very rare, NGC PF 65. KM-2. Smallest denomination in a complete matched proof set with the next three lots (KM-PS1, only twelve sets issued), the first official coinage of the newly independent nation of Panama in 1904, each coin struck to proof standards at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia under the direction of Charles E. Barber, one of the most important American engravers of the era, featuring a bold portrait of Vasco N ez de Balboa on obverse and sharply defined national coat of arms on reverse, a perfect combination of elegant design with high technical quality. Each coin in the set displays deep mirrored fields overlain with original, undisturbed rainbow toning in vibrant colors on both sides, never cleaned or altered, the result of decades of natural aging, as this set has stayed intact since the time of issue, reflecting its importance as an original presentation, each coin now certified separately to cater to the growing interest among collectors to build competitive registry sets in top-tier holders. This PF 65 5c, with particularly strong and colorful toning and scattered die-polish lines, is tied with one other for second finest in the NGC census behind a single PF 66. NGC #8483360004. Estimate: $6,000-up.

1164. PANAMA, struck at the Philadelphia mint, proof 10 centésimos, 1904, very rare, NGC PF 63. KM-3. The second smallest denomination in a complete matched proof set with the previous lot and next two lots (KM-PS1, only twelve sets issued). With particularly boldly struck and intensely colorful reverse but slight rub on highest point of obverse, this piece is tied at PF 63 with one other in the NGC census, bettered only by a single PF 64 and a single PF 66. NGC #8483360-003. Estimate: $10,000-up.

1165. PANAMA, struck at the Philadelphia mint, proof 25 centésimos, 1904, very rare, NGC PF 64. KM-4. The second largest denomination in a complete matched proof set with the next lot and previous two lots (KM-PS1, only twelve sets issued). With particularly strong color on both sides but perhaps a slight rub on the highest points on the obverse, this 25c is tied at PF 64 with one other in the NGC census, bettered only by a pair of PF 65’s. NGC #8483360-002. Estimate: $12,500-up.

1166. PANAMA, struck at the Philadelphia mint, proof 50 centésimos, 1904, very rare, NGC PF 63. KM-5. With particularly sharp and deeply struck details enhanced by extra-vivid and contrasting toning, this is the largest and most iconic denomination and the highlight of this complete matched proof set with the previous three two lots (KM-PS1, only twelve sets issued). This 50c, with faint wispy lines in fields (under the toning) and a modicum of tiny handling marks on highest points, is one of only three in the NGC census, tied with one other for second finest behind a single PF 66. NGC #8483360-001. Estimate: $50,000-up.

1167. PANAMA, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, copper-nickel 2½ centésimos, 1918, very rare, NGC MS 63 (Richard Stuart Collection Label), finest known. KM-7.2. Choice auburn color with very few faint bagmarks, the finest by far (next grade at NGC being AU 58) of just seven confirmed examples, listed in KM as “unauthorized issue.” According to Panamanian numismatic researcher Jorge Proctor, Panama’s Law 62 of December 1, 1917, specified authorization to strike 25,000 balboas’ worth of coins in 2½ and 5 centésimos de balboa, and if all were 2½ centésimos, then it would have been one million struck, a mintage figure often reported with a footnote that all were melted in June 1918 (as in KM). However, according to actual mint records from Philadelphia, there is no evidence the coins were ever struck in such a quantity, or in fact at all beyond a handful of sample specimens like this one. NGC #4427875-002. Pedigreed to the Richard Stuart Collection. Estimate: $20,000-up.

1168. PANAMA, Canal Zone, denomination set of six Palo Seco leprosarium tokens from 1919: dollar, NGC XF 45; 50 cents, NGC XF 40; 25 cents, NGC XF 45; 10 cents, NGC VF 35; 5 cents, NGC XF 45; 1 cent, NGC AU 50, extremely rare, ex-McFadden. KM-Tn1 to Tn6; MGM-700 to 705. All more or less toned, with minor marks only on the four highest denominations in aluminum, while the two smallest denominations in brass are a bit better, the 1c in fact with traces of luster in crevices.

Struck in 1919 for the Palo Seco leper colony on the Pacific side of the Panama Canal Zone, these tokens were issued as restricted currency, redeemable only within the colony to prevent outside circulation. Their denominations directly mirrored the U.S. dollar system, reinforcing the economic dependence of the Canal Zone on U.S. currency at the time. The 1c and 5c have square perforations while the higher denominations from 10c through 1 Dollar show round perforations. Obverses bear the legend a PALO SECO / CANAL ZONE, while reverses read REDEEMABLE FOR / [denomination word / numeral] / IN MERCHANDISE.

The lower values of 1c and 5c are scarce in higher preservation. The 10c is very scarce, with most known examples damaged or heavily worn. The 25c is rare, with fewer than twenty specimens believed extant. The 50c is almost as elusive as the Dollar, as 830 of its 1,000 struck were officially destroyed in 1955, leaving fewer than fifteen known. The Dollar is the centerpiece of the series, with 867 of its 1,000 pieces destroyed the same year, leaving only about twelve survivors.

Complete token sets are almost never seen, and the importance of this one is further enhanced by the fact that all the pieces have been straight-graded by NGC. This combination of rarity and grade for a full set makes it a unique opportunity to secure the entire Palo Seco Canal Zone series, which stands as a tangible reflection of U.S. monetary influence and Canal Zone history as well as early 20th-century leper colony protocol. NGC #3675370-005, -007, -008, -010, -017, -013. Pedigreed to the Dr. Roger R. McFadden Collection. Estimate: $20,000-up.

1169. PANAMA, bi-metallic pattern 2 balboas, 2011, very rare, ANACS MS 64. KM-unl. Bright and lustrous, with faint spotting on the nickel brass-plated steel ring and faint hairlines on the nickel-plated steel interior, otherwise lacking any wear or marks. While bimetallic 2 balboas like this one were anticipated in 2011, their circulation was canceled for unknown reasons, and sources indicate that only a few dozen samples like this one exist (not noted as a pattern or trial on the label). ANACS #4829977. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

Paraguay (War of the Triple Alliance)

1170. PARAGUAY, War of the Triple Alliance, 2 soles, half cut of a Potosí, Bolivia, 4 soles, without countermark (1865-70), rare. Pratt-MC2. 4.67 grams. About Fine with traces of toning, sharply cut edge, heavy scratches on reverse, which shows clear 4S denomination and Potosí mintmark in legend, LIBRE POR LA visible on the Bolívar side. Cut Bolivian coins like this were created and used by merchants for making change during the War, which was a land dispute pitting Paraguay against the “Triple Alliance” of Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay, who were the ultimate victors. Estimate: $350-$500.

1171. PARAGUAY, War of the Triple Alliance, 1 sol, quarter cut of a Potosí, Bolivia, 4 soles, without countermark (1865-70), rare. Pratt-MC3. 3.20 grams.

1172. PARAGUAY, War of the Triple Alliance, 1 real, countermark “1” in rounded hexagonal field of horizontal lines (1865-70) on a wa y-edge uarter cut of a Boli ian Republic 4 soles, rare. Janson-3; Pratt-MR2; KM-B2. 2.89 grams. Toned Fine with nearly full and well-detailed countermark below LIBRE of host, (RE)PUBLICA visible on other side, an interesting emergency issue during Paraguay’s war against the “Triple Alliance” of Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay in 1865-70. Estimate: $400-$600.

Patagonia and Araucania (New France)

1173. PATAGONIA and ARAUCANIA (New France), copper pattern proof 1 peso, King Orélie-Antoine de Tounens, 1874, small “1 PESO,” PC S PR64 Red, finest and only example in PC S census. KM-X14 but in copper. Brilliant luster and original red color with mirrored proof fields and sharp strike, faint toning on rims and details. The 1874 issues like this one were fantasy propaganda, struck for Frenchman Orélie-Antoine de Tounens (misspelled as ORLLIE on the coins) for his self-proclaimed Kingdom of Araucania and Patagonia, where he had struck an alliance with the local Mapuche natives, who agreed to his stature under the promise of French arms and assistance against the Chilean army, which soon arrested and deported him to France. PCGS #48000076. Pedigreed to the Val y Mexía Collection. Estimate: $800-up.

Peru (colonial) - Gold

1174. PERU, Lima, gold bust 8 escudos, Ferdinand VI, 1753 J, NGC UNC details / saltwater damage. Cal-766; KM-50; Fr-16. Choice, sharp, full details including rims, with muted luster subdued by very light surface granularity, scarce early type. NGC #8403777-002. Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.

1177. PERU, Lima, gold bust 4 escudos, Charles III, 1781 , C A 55, finest known in C census. Cal-1768; KM81; Fr-33. Sharp and well-detailed strike including full rims, with strong luster all over, lovely bright yellow color, just some light high-point wear per the assigned grade. Very rare this nice. NGC #8473446-002. Estimate: $2,500-$3,750.

1180. PERU, Lima, gold bust 2 escudos, Charles III, 1777 , rare, C F details cleaned, finest known in C census, ex-Iriarte, ex-Almenara. Cal-1528; KM-80; Fr-34. Lightly red-toned with full rims and bold details except for slightly weak bust, arguably irrelevant light marks (at least XF 40 in our opinion), pedigreed to a significant Charles III collection (Iriarte) and featured in a color photo in that catalog. NGC #8377288-007. Pedigreed to the Iriarte Collection (Aureo auction of April 1998, lot 798) and to the Almenara Collection (both stated on label). Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

Bright yellow gold with luster and sharp details despite the cleaning, slightly irregular rims (as made), hybrid bust unique to this mint showing early armor and drapery but older head (note that KM does not distinguish the traditional “rat nose” type from this new third bust, very rare type in any case), one of two in AU details in the NGC census with the only other entry being VF 30. NGC #8377405-007. Estimate: $3,000-$4,500.

Session III - November 14, 2025, 9:30 AM EST

1192. PERU, Lima, bust 8 reales, Ferdinand VII transitional (“imaginary” bust), 1810 JP, NGC AU 55. Cal-1241; KM-106.2. Gorgeous rainbow toning all over, with muted underlying luster, slightly off-center strike with top rims weak as a result, very pretty for the assigned grade. NGC #3641374-023. Estimate: $350-$500.

1193. PERU, Lima, bust 8 reales, Ferdinand VII transitional (“imaginary” bust), 1811 JP, NGC AU 50. Cal-1242; KM-106.2. Attractively toned over muted luster, with light marks only, weakly struck center on reverse, incomplete rims (as made). NGC #3641374020. Estimate: $250-$375.

1194. PERU, Lima, 4R-sized proclamation medal, Charles IV, 1790, Huancavelica, very rare, PCGS MS62, ex-Pat Johnson. Fonrobert-9244; Medina-177; Herrera-153. 36 mm. Deeply toned with some auburn luster in legends, rather attractive and problem-free. This type is a proclamation of loyalty to the new king (whose portrait looks more like Charles III) in the city and region of Huancavelica and not (as usually mis-cataloged) a commemorative for the yield of the Huancavelica mercury mine. PCGS #44686755. Pedigreed to the Pat Johnson Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.

Rich gold color, muted luster, well-detailed strike with light handling marks and evidence of cleaning. An extremely rare type following a September 30, 1840, decree that required the fineness “21 Qs” to appear in the legend in response to debasement problems.

Session III - November 14, 2025, 9:30 AM EST

1274. PUERTO RICO (under Spain), Compañía de los Ferrocarriles de Puerto Rico, copper-nickel-zinc fare token, MDCCCLXXXVIII (1888), ex-Roehrs. 23.98 grams. Large token with reeded edge, hand-punched on one side with COMPANIA DE / LOS FERROCARRI / LES DE PTO.RICO above AHORRA TIEMPO (“save time”), and on the other side the date in Roman numerals with quartets of o’s above and below, likely made from a contemporary medal, as suggested by the alloy and construction, and issued as a fare token for the Puerto Rico railway system, which opened in 1891, the earlier date seen here best explained as commemorative or anticipatory, tied to the concession rather than the actual operation. XRF analysis confirms a copper-zinc alloy with only minor traces of silver, consistent with base-metal token manufacture. Toned in the lettering and with light surface marks but well preserved overall. Unlisted in all token references and the first of its kind we have handled, an important relic of Puerto Rican transportation history. Pedigreed to the Edward Roehrs Collection, with handwritten collector’s tag 218. Estimate: $100-$150.

1275. PUERTO RICO (under Spain), Jagua, Ciales, Hacienda de Café Maria Teresa, brass 25 centavos hacienda token, 1890, rare, ex-Roehrs. Archilla-Diez-388; Fumero-83. 9.96 grams. 29 mm. AU with nice original olive-brass color, muted luster, typical token for the private coffee-estates of Puerto Rico in the late 19th century, produced in limited numbers for use by workers as local currency.

Archilla-Diez-388a; Fumero-83. 9.25 grams. AU details with dark copper patination on olive-brass surfaces, the denomination side showing countermark of CAS and U (separate). As noted by Archilla-Diez (p. 152), this countermark applied in 1890 is a distinctive feature, very seldom encountered in the market. Otherwise this is typical for the private coffee-estate tokens of Puerto Rico in the late 19th century, struck in limited numbers for use by workers as local currency. Pedigreed to the Edward Roehrs Collection, with collector’s tag 102. Estimate: $250-up.

Bold XF showing attractive brass color with traces of original luster and faint colorful toning, a typical private coffee-estate token of Puerto Rico from the late 19th century, produced in limited numbers for use by workers as local currency, but particularly rare in this quality. Pedigreed to the Edward Roehrs Collection, with collector’s tag 101. Estimate: $100-$150.

1278. PUERTO RICO (under Spain), Jagua, Ciales, Hacienda de Café Maria Teresa, brass 12½ centavos hacienda token, 1890, rare, ex-Roehrs. Archilla-Diez-387; Fumero-82. 7.86 grams. 27 mm. XF details with oxidized surfaces in patinated orange-brass color without any visible traces of the denomination, either canceled through use or lost to the environmental damage, the design typical of the private coffee-estate tokens of Puerto Rico from the late 19th century, produced in limited numbers for use by workers as local currency. Pedigreed to the Edward Roehrs Collection, with collector’s tag 100. Estimate: $80-$120.

1279. PUERTO RICO (under Spain), Jagua, Ciales, Hacienda de Café Maria Teresa, brass 6¼ centavos hacienda token, 1890, very rare, ex-Roehrs. Archilla-Diez-386; Fumero-81. 4.21 grams. Bold strike yet some details affected by dark surface corrosion (otherwise XF or so), typical private coffee-estate token of Puerto Rico from the late 19th century, produced in limited numbers for use by workers as local currency. Pedigreed to the Edward Roehrs Collection with collector’s tag 99. Estimate: $80-$120.

1280. PUERTO RICO (under Spain), Jayuya, Antonio Trias y Co, nickel 1 almud hacienda token, no date (ca. late 1800s), very rare, ex-Roehrs. Archilla-Diez-038; Fumero-150. 4.57 grams. 23 mm. VG details, darkly patinated over corrosion, yet with design and denomination still visible, rare survivor from the highly collected private hacienda token series of Puerto Rico, struck in very limited numbers for use on the coffee estate named thereon. Pedigreed to the Edward Roehrs Collection, with collector’s tag 97. Estimate: $125-$200.

Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.

Spain (Special Issue for New World Use)

1286. SPAIN (special issue for New World use), Seville, 1 real, Ferdinand-Isabel, columns of three dots flanking shield, mintmark S below crowned F on re erse, arrows to right, legend ending in E/\STST:LEG:, rare. López de la Fuente-F8.5 var; Cal-447. 3.09 grams.

Estimate: $1,750-$2,500.

Ferdinand-Isabel

1287. SPAIN, Segovia, gold 4 excelentes, Ferdinand-Isabel, Gothic A to right of queen, aqueduct mintmark at top, denomination o-iiii at bottom between busts, very rare, NGC XF 40. Cal-770; Fr-125. 13.93 grams. Bold strike with 100% full details including all-Gothic legends on a very broad flan that extends beyond the outer border in places, lots of contrasting red toning in crevices (also some light sediment), a very nice early example of this highly desirable larger Catholic Monarchs issue, the portraits particularly bold, with only slight doubling in the obverse legend. NGC #6979847-001. Pedigreed to the Hess Divo auction of April 2008 (lot 614). Estimate: $15,000-up.

1288. SPAIN, Seville, gold double excelente, Ferdinand-Isabel, assayer ermine at bottom, mintmark S with four dots at top between busts, NGC MS 63. Cal-742; Fr-129. Very sharp details (especially the portraits and eagle/crown/arms) with choice luster all over, fully readable Latin legends, one of the most attractive double excelentes we have ever offered, within the top 20% of all examples certified. NGC #3160823-003. Estimate: $7,000-$10,000.

1289. SPAIN, Seville, gold double excelente, FerdinandIsabel, assayer •X• at top, mintmark S at bottom between busts, NGC MS 61, ex-McGregor. Cal-746; Fr-129. 7.01 grams. Well-struck example with sharp, bold, full details including Latin legends, brightly lustrous surfaces despite light die-rust, choice state of preservation for this type. NGC #4431491-002. Pedigreed to the McGregor Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $2,500-$3,750.

1290. SPAIN, Seville, gold double excelente, FerdinandIsabel, assayer •X• at top, mintmark S at bottom between busts, NGC AU 58. Cal-746; Fr-129.

1291. SPAIN, Seville, gold double excelente, Ferdinand-Isabel, assayer eight-point star with four dots at top, dot in middle, mintmark S with four dots at bottom between busts. Cal-725; Fr-129. 6.99 grams. Broad flan with 100% complete legends, problem-free XF with just a couple minor weak spots (like Ferdinand’s face), faint traces of toning. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

Philip II

1292. SPAIN, Seville, cob 8 reales, Philip II, 1591/0 date to right, assayer H below denomination VIII and mintmark S to left, rare, NGC AU 55. Cal-732. 27.32 grams. Broad flan with two edge-splits (one large), good full shield with bold S-oVIII-H to left and clear 1591/0 date to right, full and well-detailed but doublestruck cross-lions-castles, lightly toned with hints of luster, tied with one other for second finest in the NGC census behind a single MS 63. NGC #5790755-015. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

1293. SPAIN, Seville, cob 4 reales, Philip II, assayer Gothic D at 4 o’clock outside tressure on reverse. Cal-576. 13.24 grams. Perfectly round flan with choice full shield and cross-lions-castles, some legend, clear mintmark and denomination and assayer, AU/XF details with faint surface oxidation. Estimate: $200-$300.

Philip III or IV

1294. SPAIN, Seville, cob 4 reales, Philip III or IV, assayer not visible, error with denomination as VIII, reverse legend starting at bottom, unique. Cal-unl; KM-unl. 13.47 grams. Typical-looking Spanish cob 4R but with full and clear inward-facing denomination VIII (first example of this error we have seen) to right of bold full shield (left side flat) with partial king’s ordinal visible in legend, choice full cross-lions-castles with legend 180 degrees from normal, toned VF with large edge-crack. Estimate: $250-up.

Philip IV

1295. SPAIN, Segovia, milled 8 reales, Philip IV, 1630 P, NGC AU 50. Cal-1588; KM-76. Choice strike with sharp full details in higher grade than the label indicates, struck on a typically broad flan with light curvature as struck on a roller press, the cross side very richly toned, with muted luster throughout, overall a lovely example of an early milled issue from the Real Ingenio de Segovia, Spain’s pioneering mechanized mint, produced while other mints were still using a crude hand-hammering method. NGC #3857845-014. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

1296. SPAIN, Segovia, milled 8 reales, Philip IV, 1660 BR, vertical aqueduct, NGC AU details / repaired. Cal-1625; KM111. Sharp and very bold details all over, struck on a broad flan that extends well past the outer border, much contrasting toning around details, tooling here and there on both sides. NGC #2858073-005. Estimate: $750-$1,100.

1297. SPAIN, mint uncertain, cob 4 reales, Philip IV, 1664, assayer not visible, very rare. 12.68 grams. Bold and 100% complete date above off-center full cross, the shield also full but off-center with crude and indecipherable assayer and denomination to right, part of king’s name in legend, Fair for wear with contrasting toning, very crude strike but unique for the clear date no matter what mint or assayer or denomination (the last date listed in Calicó for any Philip IV mainland 4R being 1662). Estimate: $500-$750.

1298. SPAIN, Barcelona, 1 croat, Phillip IV, 1637, NGC MS 63. Cal-662; KM-23.2.

Estimate: $500-$750.

Special: Struck in the Early 1650s from Melted Potosí Silver Cobs

1299. SPA , adrid, cob 8 reales, Philip , 1650, assayer o er B, ertical mintmark, uni ue, PC S F40, finest known in PCGS census. Cal-unl (Type 311); KM-unl (120 for type). 27.23 grams. Bold strike with choice full shield and cross-and-tressure on a broad flan with nearly complete legends, bold full mintmark above assayer / (like an A but missing the horizontal bar) with traces of under-assayer IB, an unlisted over-assayer in this denomination (known in 4R), clear bottom half of date despite off-center strike, deeply toned all over, exceptionally well struck and well preserved for the type. (Note: The label notes “(1650-6)MD A,” but the date and over-assayer are there.)

This piece is from a rare and historically significant series of mainland issues struck soon after the Potosí Mint scandal of 1647 49, which led Spain to boost minting at home to restore confidence in its coinage. In addition to greater production at major mints like Madrid, several minor mints were re-opened to handle tons of silver from recalled and melted coinage. Long overlooked in the American market, these peninsular cobs are now gaining well-deserved recognition for their rarity and importance. With many one-year issues and countless minor varieties, these coins combine scarcity and rustic beauty in a way that is redefining price levels for the entire cob series. PCGS #50300354. Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.

1300. SPAIN, Madrid, cob 8 reales, Philip IV, 1650, assayer /\ over V, vertical mintmark, unique. Cal-unl (Type 311); KM-unl (120 for type). 25.43 grams. Thick flan (smaller diameter than previous lot) with full and bold assayer / punched over a clear V (unlisted for this date), bold full shield and cross, the latter just off-center enough to allow for a nearly full date, AXF with deep toning throughout, another prime example of increased production at the Madrid mint following the Potosí mint scandal. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

1301. SPAIN, Toledo, cob 8 reales, Philip IV, 1651 Y, rare. Cal-1679; KM-101. 27.05 grams. Very bold full date at 1-3 o’clock outside the full cross, full shield (off-center) with bold full denomination VIII to right inside an equally bold PHILIPVS, some doubling, VF with contrasting natural toning.

Along with Madrid (see previous two lots), the Toledo mint ramped up production in the early 1650s to handle melted Potosí silver and increase output in order to offset reduced shipments from Peru. These rare coins are now recognized as historically important to collectors in the Americas. Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.

1302. SPAIN, Valladolid, cob 8 reales, Philip IV, (1651), assayer not visible (stylized F), very rare. Cal-1690; KM-134.6. 24.81 grams. High-grade example (AU) with very light toning and faint luster, flat in the peripheries, with natural edge-split, but with choice full crown and shield and cross-lions-castles that are recognizable by style as Valladolid. The Valladolid mint struck these coins only in 1651 with a distinctive F assayer-mark that looks an E with crossbar extended to left, a direct product of the silver shortage following the Potosí scandal, when several Spanish mints briefly increased output using melted and refined silver. A very rare and desirable peninsular type, seldom encountered and highly prized by advanced collectors. Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.

1303. SPAIN, Madrid, cob 4 reales, Philip IV, 1651, assayer /\, unique. Cal-unl (Type 269); KM-132.3. 13.83 grams. Lustrous AU with well-detailed and well-centered full shield showing bold assayer to left appearing as an A without crossbar (unlisted in references, but we note that / over IB is listed for 1650/49), bold full cross (off-center) with complete 51 of date visible, no toning except for a couple dark spots. Like the previous lots, this was struck during the brief increase in production at Madrid to counteract a coinage shortage due to the Potosí mint scandal, this example exceptional for its detail and preservation. Estimate: $800-$1,200.

1304. SPAIN, Granada, cob ½ real, Philip IV, (1651) N, very rare. Cal-544; KM-86.1. 1.19 grams. Full monogram with bold G-N below, also full but off-center cross, toned XF with light surface corrosion. This is a very rare one-year type, the Granada mint one of several specifically put back into service in 1651 to alleviate silver coinage shortage due to the Potosí mint scandal. The rarity and importance of these mainland cobs are just beginning to become evident in the American market, this specific issue touted in Spain as “two known” even though the reference books give it values in several grades. Estimate: $250-$375.

1305. SPAIN, Madrid, cob ½ real, Philip IV, 1651, rare. Cal-551; KM-86.3. 2.01 grams. Bold upper half of cross with full 51 of date to left, full crown and monogram (distinctive style for this mint), attractively toned XF. This mint was barely making coins in this denomination when called upon to counteract the coin shortage caused by the Potosí mint scandal, the connection now becoming important to the greater American collector market. Estimate: $200-$300.

1306. SPAIN, Segovia, milled 8 reales, Philip IV, 1651 I/R, ertical mintmark with fi e arches, uni ue, C F 45. Cal-unl (Type 345); KM-111. Typically broad flan (extending past the outer borders) with choice full details, attractively toned over natural surfaces, with strong eye appeal for the grade. The date 1651 appears to have something under the 5 possibly a 3 but certainly not a 4 while the assayer I is clearly punched over a partially erased R, an unlisted combination in references.

In addition to cobs, mainland Spanish production was increased in milled coins struck by roller press at the Real Ingenio in Segovia due to the need for new coinage following the Potosí mint scandal, making for coins like this that combine historical rarity with technical excellence in choice preservation. NGC #8237688-030. Estimate: $2,500-$3,750.

1307. SPAIN, Segovia, milled 2 reales, Philip IV, 1652 with 5/2, assayer BR in monogram, rare. Cal-960; KM-93.1. 6.31 grams. Choice XF details with toning and sediment on fields, all details clear, the cross side struck slightly off-center. This coin is Exhibit A in the case for stating that the Real Ingenio at Segovia was called upon to increase production following the Potosí mint scandal, as the reverse was modified from a 1620s die for what is basically a one-year emergency issue in 1652. Estimate: $400-$600.

1308. SPA , Se ille, gold milled 8 escudos, Philip , 1703 , S-8- -8, C S 64, finest known in C census. Cal2269; KM-261; Fr-247. Choice strike with sharp interior details (the rims slightly crude from minor centering issues), unusually prominent edge from aggressive milling on a broad flan, exceptional surfaces with much luster for the period, rare and important as the highest grade on record for this date. NGC #2915379-006. Estimate: $20,000-$30,000.

1309. SPAIN, Seville, milled 2 reales “pistareen,” Philip V, 1721 J, PCGS MS65. Cal-979; KM-307. Spectacular luster for the period with traces of rainbow toning, slightly curved flan due to roller-press manufacture, tied with two others for second finest in the PCGS census behind a single MS 66. PCGS #06694075. Estimate: $500-$750.

1310. SPAIN, Seville, gold bust 8 escudos, Philip V, 1729 S, error with king’s name as PHILP, no denomination or assayer, rare, NGC AU details / cleaned. Cal-2303; KM-346.2; Fr-233. Choice luster, light marks and high point wear, small lamination on reverse, faint hairlines, desirable two-year type lacking denomination and assayer and a rare first-year error with the king’s name misspelled. NGC #4913160-004. Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.

Ferdinand VI

Medals and Decorations

1341.

Design with the Ségur-Cabanac family shield at center flanked by wildmen, POST MILLE AN ARTHUR COM DE SEGUR CABANAC above; plain edge. Mint State with nice original red mint luster around the design. Very rare and missing in the Kunsthistorisches Museum (Austrian national collection). The engraver, Heinrich Jauner, was the Imperial Royal Court Chamber Engraver for Emperor Franz Joseph in Vienna. The reference for the full medal is Wurzbach-Tannenberg’s Katalog Meiner Sammlung von Medaillen, Plaketten und Jetons, Vol. 2 (1943), p. 1357, number 8387. Plated in Herman Blanton’s “Millennial Medal for the House of Ségur-Cabanac” in NI Bulletin vol. 43, number 3, March 2008, pp. 42-51, and pedigreed to the Monasterium Numismatische Auktionsgesellschaft (Münster, Germany) auction of June 2005, lot 933. Estimate: $150-$225.

Central American Union

1342. CENTRAL AMERICAN UNION, Guatemala, silver medal, 1890, Central American Union Pact of 1889, PCGS AU details / plugged. Prober-350 in silver. 37 mm. Obverse: five mountains under rainbow and radiant Liberty cap inside triangle within palm-and-oak wreath within legend VIVA LA REPUBLICA DE CENTRO-AMERICA ; reverse: 15 / DE OCTUBRE / DE / 1889 above laurel wreath within PACTO DE UNION / Loor al Patriotismo within legend DIOS UNION LIBERTAD / GUATEMALA 1890; plain edge. Bold design and legends, lustrous surfaces with hints of golden toning around the edges, plugged hole at top. PCGS #44153429. Estimate: $300-$450.

Cuba (under Spain)

1343. CUBA (under Spain), cast silver proclamation medal, Ferdinand VI, 1747, Guanabacoa, unique GVNA variety. Rosa-221; Herrera-41 var; Betts-344 var; Ulex-2459 var; Medina-23 var. 10.80 grams. 28 mm.

A crudely cast, half dollar-sized silver medal featuring a fantasy portrait of the new king within legend FERNANDO.VI.D.G.HISPAN.REX on obverse and arms of Guanabacoa inside legend SANTIAGO DE TORES.GVNA with date 1747 at bottom on reverse, a bit worn and oxidized (Fine overall), with patches of copper and light olive toning, applied reeding on edge, one of two versions known, this one believed to be unique.

This piece is identical to the hand-drawn illustration for number 221 in Alejandro Rosa’s 1895 work, Aclamaciones de Monarcas Católicos en el Nuevo Mundo, which is different from the other version of this medal listed as number 41 in Adolfo Herrera’s 1882 publication, Medallas de Proclamaciones y Juras de los Reyes de España (described in Betts, and illustrated in Medina and in the 1908 Hess catalog of the Ulex Collection). There are slight differences in the relief and execution of the arms, but the most recognizable aspect is the misspelling GVNA in place of GVANA with ligate AN in the legend. Both versions appear to be the same diameter, but Medina quotes a weight of 15 grams while Ulex states 5.5 grams (which seems erroneous). The present lot is 11 grams same as the weight given in Rosa (and same diameter).

Although little known today, the cabinet of proclamation medals formed by Alejandro Rosa in the late 1800s was among the greatest ever assembled, containing such landmarks as the unique gold proclamation of Ferdinand VI of Mexico (1747) and one of the few known Florida medals of Charles IV (1789). It is intriguing to think this lot could very well be the piece from Rosa’s collection (impossible to confirm from a drawing).

This medal’s surfaces show expected old casting traits, and XRF analysis confirms a proper mid-18th-century alloy of approximately 85% silver and 14% copper with traces of gold, lead, and zinc. Nevertheless, due to its cast manufacture and unique design not represented in standard references, this medal is beyond the limitations of certification companies like NGC and PCGS and cannot be put into a certified holder until it is better understood.

Now offered at auction for the first time, this medal’s uniqueness and historical significance make it a true numismatic treasure for connoisseurs who appreciate that pieces of this caliber represent important opportunities, even when not fully documented or certified.

Estimate: $5,000-up.

1417. DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, República Dominicana, 20 pesos, 20-4-1857, serial 1553329, very rare, PMG VF 30, finest known in P census. Rudman-43; Pick-unlisted. Boldly printed design with clear arms of the Dominican Republic at center along with strong penned signatures and serial number (not certain due to the handwriting), nice centering with wide margins, a few pinholes notes plus light spot of foreign substance on the back but altogether not distracting given the eye appeal of note.

Appealing example of this very rare type that is similar to the prior lot but issued towards the end of 1864 and denominated as pesos rather than pesos fuertes.

Large-format note with full counterfoil at left, bold design with three penned signatures (all in different colors), embossed seal at lower center on face and light orange ink stamp on back.

The bold design shows a full counterfoil at left, three penned signatures (all in different colors), and an embossed stamp at lower center plus a small black stamp on the reverse.

This amazing Dominican Republic rarity is sure to attract attention as it is not documented in either the Rudman or Pick catalogs. The printed design, while a little weak along the top border, is otherwise bold, as are the penned signatures and serial number. The large green stamp at center is a bit obscured due to excessive inking, which apparently caught the stamper off-guard as a partial fingerprint is seen just above and to the right! A few minor stains are noted on this fairly circulated note with a few pinholes also mentioned for completeness. PMG #2387039-005. Estimate: $2,000-up.

1444. VARIOUS COUNTRIES, Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co., representative vignette sample book with 104 engraved proofs, ca. 1856–1903, extremely rare, ex-Rocha. Unique and complete original presentation album of engraved banknote vignettes by Bradbury, Wilkinson Co., London, one of the foremost security printers of the nineteenth century, known for banknotes, postage stamps, and stock certificates. Founded by Henry Bradbury in 1850, the firm began engraving banknotes in 1856 and was later acquired by the American Bank Note Company in 1903.

This album was the company’s official sample and presentation book, carried by Bradbury, Wilkinson Co. representatives around the world to exhibit the quality of their engraving work to governments and central banks. The album was used in Argentina during the late nineteenth century in connection with proposals for national banknote production. It was then acquired by Doctor Dardo Rocha, the governor of the province of Buenos Aires from 1881 to 1884. Much later, it was sold as lot 787 in C.C. Gaona’s auction in Buenos Aires of the Dr. Rocha library held from September 14 to 18, 1964, where it was described as including a 10 note at the front, with an extensive assortment of engraved vignettes, gilded page borders, and fine leather binding.

Bound in original gilt leather covers with fully gilded page edges, complete with 104 engraved vignette proofs, each mounted on a separate page with its original tissue guard. Page size 21 14 centimeters, approximately 8.2 5.5 inches. The first page presents a beautifully engraved 10 specimen note, followed by a comprehensive sequence of vignettes depicting important historical figures, inventors, explorers, allegorical scenes, and heraldic designs from various continents.

The vignettes represent designs prepared for banknotes issued in numerous countries, including Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Hong Kong, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Persia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Ceylon, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Cuba. Each image is a steel-plate proof of exceptional sharpness and artistry, showing the precision and aesthetic quality that made Bradbury, Wilkinson Co. one of the most respected engravers of the nineteenth century. Condition is very good, the pages strong and bright with light stains and typical foxing, impressions bold, vignettes clear and in excellent condition, binding tight, gilt decoration bright, minor handling only.

No other complete Bradbury, Wilkinson Co. vignette album of this kind is known to us. Only isolated individual vignettes have appeared on the market. This example is believed to be unique. A link to the full content of the book is available here: https://legacy.sedwickcoins.com/ ta38/book vignetes 2025.pdf. Pedigreed to the Dr. Dardo Rocha Collection and subsequently sold in C.C. Gaona’s Buenos Aires public auction of September 14–18, 1964, Lot 787. Estimate: $7,000-$10,000.

Ramage was born in Ohio in 1830, lived in Coloma in the southern part of the San Francisco peninsula, and died there in April 1870 of pulmonary tuberculosis, although “Samuel Ramage” is not found in any California directory of the time. George Ramage was a long-time merchant in San Francisco in the 1850s-1860s. J.J. and J. Ramage were jewelers in Ontario, Canada, in 1856. In any case, there was no Ramage on board the SS Central America when it sank. He may have been with relatives, perhaps unwell, and this buckle may have been on the way to him.

Central America (1857), pedigreed to the Holabird auction of March 2023, with original lot-tag 1040 and small certificate signed by Holabird and Bob Evans. Estimate: $3,000-$4,500.

1546. United States Mail Steamship Co. second class cabin ticket number 24 dated August 20, 1857, issued to Jacob B. Clark, ex-S.S. Central America (1857). 518 grams total. 7” x 5” x ¾”. Issued for Jacob B. Clark, reportedly a veteran of the Mexican War and born in Tennessee (we were unable to verify). Klare’s record of Clark shows him in steerage, but this actual receipt says otherwise. When the ship was foundering, Clark and friend J.F. Reed of Petaluma each grabbed a stateroom door and a life preserver and headed topside to exit the ship before she went down. The violent nature of the sea caused havoc with the pair, and they were injured in the process. Reed got lost in the rough water, and Clark never saw him again. At midnight, Clark found another door and lashed it to his own with a handkerchief. As morning broke, and the Norwegian barque Ellen arrived, Clark found himself surrounded by dead victims, all wearing life preservers and floating at the surface, and he commented “It was a horrible sight.” He was the 47th man rescued. He went back to California in 1858 for good, became Sheriff of Sutter County, then moved to Colusa county, where he mined and did other things. This piece is certified as being recovered in 2014 from the Purser’s Safe, Port-Side Debris Field. From the S.S. Central America (1857), pedigreed to the Holabird auction of December 2022, with original lot-tag 1000 and original certificate signed by Holabird and Bob Evans. Estimate: $800-$1,200.

Engravings

1554. Original engraved portrait of Sir Francis Drake, from Houbraken’s e Heads of Illustrious Persons of Great Britain (London, 1743–1752), published by Knapton. 8½” x 14”. Engraved copperplate portrait of Sir Francis Drake, England’s most famous navigator, explorer, and privateer, best remembered for his circumnavigation of the globe in 1577–1580 and his role in the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. This engraving is from Jacobus Houbraken’s monumental series The Heads of Illustrious Persons of Great Britain, produced in London over nearly a decade and issued in installments by the publishers John and Paul Knapton. The series, comprising some of the finest engraved portraits of the eighteenth century, was intended to celebrate Britain’s great leaders, scholars, and heroes.

Houbraken’s work is distinguished by its meticulous line engraving, capturing both the likeness and the gravitas of its subjects. The Drake plate shows him in armor with decorative border and cartouche, a classic Baroque representation that enhanced his reputation as a naval commander and symbol of English power. Examples of this portrait are highly prized both as historical art and as artifacts of Britain’s self-image during the mid-eighteenth century, when the empire was consciously linking its present successes to the achievements of Tudor and Stuart figures.

This piece is an original eighteenth-century impression, not a later reprint, making it a significant collector’s item for both maritime and portraiture enthusiasts. Estimate: $250-$375.
