3721. Lot 30044

Descrição:: Christian V gold 2 Ducats 1691-CW, KM416, Fr-154, H-27B, N-101, MS62 NGC. ex. Bruun Collection, 5/1925. An incredible rarity within the Danish series and according to Newman's envelope that accompanies the lot, one of only 7 known. While that number is certainly dated by several decades (at least), a search of modern auction sales appears to support a very limited number extant. Research shows that two examples have sold in recent times: the first, in part II of the Jens Dahl Knudsens Collection for 52,000 Krone in 2006, and the second, a similar quality specimen to the present, by Bruun Rasmussen in 2012 for 12,000 Euros. When comparing the present example to that of the Rasmussen coin, several interesting observations are made. Most interestingly, the present coin was stuck from a much earlier die state, as reverse die cracks appear faintly visible on the Newman coin, but become much bolder and more expansive on the Rasmussen coin. Could failure of the reverse die have led to this type's overall rarity? Whatever the case, the collector now has a chance to acquire a gorgeous representative, with sparkling luster that adorns the fields and full central detailing that surpasses that on the Rasmussen coin. Another landmark opportunity. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $20,562.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

3723. Lot 30043

Descrição:: Christian V lead Siege Klippe 4 Skilling ND (1677-78), KM7var. (Sweden), H-134, MS63 NGC. Struck out of necessity during the Siege of Kristianstad and after the battle, typically redeemed for specie of a more intrinsic and permanent nature. Given the intended short-term usage for the type and the soft composition of the metal, examples are rarely seen, with survivors often having severely mutilated or oxidized surfaces. The present coin however is a true anomaly, and must be finest extant, with dove-gray surfaces that still retain original luster within the protected areas. Amazingly, the uniface strike is also essentially full imparted despite what must have been hurried and less than optimal striking circumstances. For the collector of necessity or siege types, an extremely rare and captivating treasure that can not be overlooked. Accompanied by an ancient ticket that identifies this example as from the Dr. Hagerman sale. Realized $3,525.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

3727. Lot 30041

Descrição:: Republic Proof 40 Centavos 1915, KM17, PR68 NGC. A visual masterpiece and likely the finest known of this popular and short-lived denomination.

From a scant original mintage of only 100 proofs, this is a true prize for the Cuban specialist. Realized $25,850.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
