Eric P. Newman Collection, Part III // 俳句

描述:: Kingdom. Vittorio Emanuele III gold 20 Lire 1902-R, KM37.1, Fr-23, Pagani 662 (R3), MS66 NGC. One of the true great rarities of Italian numismatics, this amazing example has a minuscule mintage of only 181 pieces. The strike is bold, and the fields deeply mirrored, with no notable flaws. This is the only piece certified, in any condition, by either NGC or PCGS. This is also the first example of this spectacular issue that we have had the privilege of offering, and we doubt we will see another, especially in this superb condition, for many years to come. Realized $52,875.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

描述:: Meiji Trade Dollar Year 10 (1877), JNDA 01-12, KM-Y14, MS65 NGC. The scarcest of this short-lived issue, in immaculate condition. A flawless strike, with superb steel-blue and gold toning over prooflike surfaces. This three-year issue (1875-77) is extremely popular with collectors of Japanese coins, and advanced numismatists are well aware of the difficulty involved in acquiring a Gem example of this type. None have been certified finer by either NGC or PCGS. Realized $18,800.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

描述:: Venice. Alvise IV Mocenigo gold Osella of 4 Zecchini 1773, Paolucci 474, Nomisma-381/C (R5), 13.89gm, MS63 NGC. A spectacular gold striking of the Osella. The obverse displays the nimbate lion of San Marco, while the reverse shows a four-line inscription with the date below, within a wreath. Fully brilliant and lustrous, with fully struck devices and no flaws worthy of mention. The gold Osellas were struck by the mint, in multiple weights of the Zecchino. The silver coin dies were used in this production, and the details for the coins of both metals is identical. The fineness of the gold used was .997; no finer gold could be produced at that time. These Osellas appear to have been produced for private individuals (probably for the nobility) who paid a premium over the gold value for the striking costs. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate?
