10C 1959 ANA CENTENNIAL SAMPLE
|
NGC MS 65
|
Ex: ANA Centennial
ANA Centennial pedigree noted on slab, graded MS65, no line fatty. This coin was a given to attendees at the 1991 ANA Coin Show in Chicago, Illinois. As a side note, graded sample slabs are scarcer than samples without numeric grades, watch for them. Also to note, the coin inside is actually a 1959-D, not a Philadelphia coin. We only know of one other coin with this submission number (145534) that is ANA Pedigreed, and it follows by one coin in the submission sequence (085).

PCGS AU 58

Ex: Amon Carter
This is a beautiful coin with proof like fields that looks MS63 at first glance. Slight cabinet friction limits the grade. We haven't sent this coin to CAC but it certainly would sticker. Amon Carter was a Dallas newspaper magnate whose collection was sold at auction by Stacks in January of 1984. The original auction tag, lot number 565, is included with the coin.

One of those awesome looking large gold coins that looks like a solid MS63. Tthis coin is my only true Eliasberg-pedigreed overdate, since the 1844/81 large cent is actually a die sinker's blunder, and it's CAC approved.

DOLLAR 1964 FITZGERALD COLLECTION
|
NGC REPLACEMENT TOKEN
|
These tokens were privately minted for use in 1964 in the Nevada Gaming Casinos. This token is pedigreed to the Lincoln Fitzgerald Collection and is part of the Nevada Club Reno Hoard. I remember fondly playing at the old Nevada Club. The shiney chrome mechanical slot machines, the 50s style diner and even the sound of coins falling into the trays are all on my mind as I type this. This was a time before Tito, the "ticket in ticket out" style of gaming prevalent today. I could sit and play nickels and check out the dates and mintmarks on the reverse, all the while sipping on the free drinks provided generously by the staff. When I got tired of playing, a 99 cent breakfast awaited in the diner, 24 hours a day. Memories. (No photo taken yet, sorry)

Ex: GSA Hoard
Near gem GSA Morgan Dollar complete with a numbered card from the GSA sale in the 1970s. I have no idea if this card actually goes with this date and mint coin, as I also have an 1883CC GSA that has an un-numbered card. Can anyone enlighten me on which coins have numbered cards and which do not, and which numbers go with which dates?

5C 1952 S OMAHA BANK HOARD
|
NGC MS 66
|
Ex: Omaha Bank Hoard
This is a brilliant, white coin with a strong strike but not quite full steps.
According to Mark Borckardt of Heritage Auction Galleries, his firm purchased the Omaha Bank Hoard in its entirety for a seven-figure total in 2004. The hoard consisted of over 320,000 coins, all in rolls, that were saved between the late 1930s and continuing until the early 1970s. The hoard consisted of cent through half dollar rolls all in mint state condition. It required a moving van to transport everything. The earliest coins in the hoard were original rolls of Buffalo nickels and Walking Liberty halves, with most of the coins being saved in the 1950s and 1960s, and very little saved after 1964.
