描述:: Republic gold Escudo 1824 So-I, KM85, MS66 NGC. A rare early Republic issue with a reported mintage of 3,400 coins. While this factor alone is enough to make it appealing, its condition unquestionably elevates it to stratospheric levels. Our research located a lone record of this date selling: the Eliasberg coin that was sold in 2005 and later re-sold by us in January of 2009. That coin, impressive in its own right, was graded MS64 by NGC. Every technical specification of the Newman coin trumps that piece. The present coin shows razor-sharp detail throughout, with glowing luster in the fields that gives off a just-minted appearance. Without the aid of a loupe (and even with one), the surfaces appear on the cusp of being flawless. In fact, the present specimen was so superb, it prompted Burdette G. Johnson to type on the coin's envelope, "a brilliant proof and undoubtedly unique in this condition." While we question the Santiago Mint's ability and desire to actually strike proofs during this transitional period, we certainly echo the sentiment: "This coin is special." Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $22,325.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

描述:: Carlos IV gold 4 Escudos 1805 So-FJ, KM62, AU55 NGC. Some highpoint loss on the bust is attributable to strike and brief circulation, but the fields sparkle throughout with bright yellow-gold color. While indicative of the type, a number of planchet imperfections are evident on the obverse and flow through Carlos' head and behind his portrait. The 4 Escudos denomination is generally considered the most scarce from the Spanish Colonial period. The present date is no different; a quick scan of archived auction records yields only a single other example of the date being sold in recent years. A rare opportunity for the specialist.

描述:: Lower Canada. THS & WM Molson Montreal Brewers copper Sou Token 1837, Charlton LC-16A3 (thin flan, reeded edge), Br-576, XF45 Brown NGC. Well struck with even, light wear and no notably detracting flaws. A very scarce issue by this early Canadian brewer. In the early 1800's, Canada became a British possession, but no official currency, in the form of coins, had been delivered to the new colony. To remedy this shortage, many merchants issued copper tokens that were widely accepted in the marketplace. One of these merchants was Thomas and William Molson of Montreal. The Molson family later formed a bank (Molson's Bank) that continued in operation until acquired by the Bank of Montreal in 1925. Realized $1,997.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
