View Coin   - - NGC INELIGIBLE TYPE 1779 Rhode Island Ship Medal. Breen 1141, Betts 563, wreath below ship. Gem Uncirculated. This is the scarce and popular Horace M. Grant restrike of this popular issue, produced in bronze (a few were also issued in silver) in 1936. Perfectly struck, with no trace of post-strike damage or defect, as expected for the issue, the surfaces hard and a pleasing golden bronze hue that was antiqued to look old. As always, the planchet is slightly out-of-round, intentionally made such to aid in giving it the look of the period. This is really one of the best “restrikes” of any colonial coin ever produced, and it is one that we still see offered as genuine now and then. Presumably Grant suspected that might happen, and he placed his initials in tiny letters within the wave below Howe’s battleship on the obverse. Difficult to find these days, it’s reported that only a dozen or so were struck in silver, with perhaps 100-200 in bronze. Today, the restrikes are almost as tough as the originals (Breen calls the Grant copies “rare” in his Encyclopedia, and for an issue that was struck nearly three-quarters of a century ago
View Coin   - - NGC INELIGIBLE TYPE 123.30 grains. In 1983 the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation decided to market struck copies of the Virginia halfpenny. Flans Birle from the Cornell and Birle Company was hired to make a master hub from which dies could be produced. Jim Nye from the Adriel Brothers Company was hired to produce the additional minting support materials, such as the stamping head, collars, cutoffs, etc. These were all sent to the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation where the actual minting occurred under the direction of Mark Frankel. The planchets were obtained from W.E. Richards and are nearly pure copper. Mark Frankel does not recall any planchets being used which had been previously struck.The first hub was made with the letters CWF in relief placed under the shoulder of King George III, as here. Fewer than 5,000 copies were struck with this design. Soon after production began, an awareness of the Hobby Protection Act led to a change in the hub with the word COPY replacing CWF.

View Coin   United States AR'D 1803-DATED G.BRITAIN KETTLE & SONS, BIRMINGHAM QUARTER EAGLE COUNTER NGC MS 61 This is one of the rarest Kettle gaming tokens. The size is of a dime and since it is silvered it’s often referred
to as a Kettle Dime. Only one graded in PCGS and one graded in NGC (this one) and in my opinion even though they
are both graded the same this one far exceeds the PCGS sample.

View Coin   United States 22mm 1849-DATED BRASS GOLD MINER COUNTER NGC MS 64 To date in my research this is the finest graded and looking 1849 gold miner gaming token.

mouth.

View Coin 1861 Silver CT (1861-65) HARTFORD F-210A-1F HENRY SOUTH COLLECTION NGC MS 63 Alfred S. Robinson Silver

1f appears to be a -2f as the die matches the -2e and not the -1b or -1d.

View Coin   1864 MA F-760A-8a S. TANENBAUM COLLECTION EX. LESLIE HEILBRONNER NGC MEDAL MS 65 RB From Stacks auction:

The Liberty Cap motif is one of the favorite Bolen dies. The symbol has a rich numismatic history that has antecedents on circulating Mexican coinage and the 1836 March 23 Mint medal for the steam press launch, as well as a pattern gold dollar of that year, both by Christian Gobrecht. The surfaces are about 50% blazing mint red deepening to navy blue.
Provenance: From the Q. David Bowers Collection. Earlier ex J. Kuehnert; J. Harris; Steve Tanenbaum Collection.
