Most coins from Argentina were used for restriking at the Rio mint and very few made it all the way to the northern state of Bahia where this coin was minted.

| 50642 | Pedro II 100 Reis 1844, KM452, toned XF, one of the greatest Brazilian rarities--finest of only three known. From the founding of the first mint in the state of Bahia in 1694, Brazil has had three Monetary Systems. The first, which dates from 1695 to 1834, is the so-called "divisional" system. Each denomination was double in value of the previous denominations so the coins in circulation ranged from 20 to 640 Reis. In 1809, Brazil started striking the 960 Reis on the Hispanic 8 Reales, which had just begun circulating in Brazil when the Portuguese Crown was transferred to the Brazilian colony to escape the Napoleonic invasion. Starting in 1834, Brazil, now an independent empire, attempted a new monetary system nicknamed the Cruzado (mainly due to inflation and the need for coins of higher values). With odd denominations of 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1200 Reis, this Cruzado system was rejected by the Brazilian population as they continued to use the older coins. Consequently, instead of increasing mintages, the Empire created a whole new monetary system that was established in 1849. With more "standard" denominations of 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000 Reis, the new system was a quick success and remained in place until the Cruzeiro monetary reform in 1942. While "failing" with the Cruzado system, the Brazilian empire created one of the rarest numismatic series in the wide collection of Brazilian coins. With 42 coins in total, most of which are scarce or rare, the jewel of the Cruzado series is without a doubt the 1844 100 Reis (or the Tostao).Sold for: $83,375.00. |
| 50643 | Pedro II 100 Reis 1847/4, KM452, nice XF, lightly cleaned. Most of the 100 Reis in the Cruzado series are usually found in heavily-worn condition, and are many times holed, plugged and/or mounted. This specimen is quite an attractive 1847 (over 44) specimen with some full tulips. Low mintage of only 682 coins.Sold for: $1,265.00. |
| 50644 | Pedro II 100 Reis 1848, KM452, VF+, quite a scarce date and elusive in any condition. Mintage of 486.Sold for: $1,265.00. |

| 50651 | Pedro II 400 Reis 1840, KM453, Choice AU-UNC, some original mint luster. There are a total of 10 dates in the 400 Reis of the Cruzado, out of those, only 4 can be considered "common" (the 1834, 1835, 1837, 1847), while the other six dates are all rare with mintages of well below 1000 pieces. The 1840 is one of the rarest dates of this type with a mintage estimated at under 200 pieces, of which only about 15-20 pieces exist today. This 400 Reis is likely one of the finest known specimens.Sold for: $8,337.50. |
| 50652 | Pedro II 400 Reis 1841, KM453, outstanding Choice UNC, beautiful original luster and great eye appeal. One of the highlights of the Brazilian Cruzado Set that we are offering.

| 50654 | Pedro II 400 Reis 1844, KM453, AU-UNC, great eye appeal. Scarce date for this type. Sharp details, and, other than very light circulating marks, this coin is flawless.Sold for: $1,725.00. |

| 50658 | Pedro II 800 Reis 1835, KM456, AU-UNC, lightly cleaned, small rim nick at 7 o'clock on the obverse. Overall, this coin is well above-average than normally seen. The 800 Reis is the scarcest type in the Cruzado series.Sold for: $2,530.00. |

| 50664 | Pedro II 1200 Reis 1839, KM454, lightly cleaned VF+. After the 1844 100 Reis, this is the rarest of all Cruzado coins, mintage of only 186 pieces of which there are about 8 - 10 in existence today. Even in VF+ condition, this is an above average specimen.Sold for: $20,700.00. |
| 50665 | Pedro II 1200 Reis 1840/39, KM454, AU-UNC, overdate, outstanding condition and great appeal. Rarely seen in this condition for this scarce date. Only the slightest trace of wear is found on the tulip on top of the digit 8 in the date. Excellent coin!Sold for: $3,737.50. |

| 50675 | Essequibo & Demerary. George III 3 Guilders 1809, KM-8, VF20 NGC, 21,000 minted of this one year type. This is technically an XF coin, but the die detail lacked in this design causing it to show wear if looked at wrong. There is mint frost in the reverse design. This coin doesn't have the flecking that plagues most in this series.Not Sold. |

|
| 50676 | Copper Half Cent Quartet, KM-1, including the first 4 coins of this series: 1885-H, 1886-H, 1887-H, and the 1891-H. The 1886H is a mostly Red Unc, while the other 3 are nice AU's From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $299.00. |
| 50677 | Aluminum Pattern Undated Heaton mint Cent, Struck with a reeded edge otherwise as KM-2. Comes with a ticket stating that it is ex: Farouk collection. It has wear, and is an XF coin that probably spent some time in a mint official's pocket. With everything that is different about it, it would make sense that it was struck before the 1882 coins as some sort of test piece. Not in Pridmore or Remick, and likely Unique. The reeded edge also points to a pre-1882 date as the copper coins of Straits Settlements pre-1884 were struck with a reeded edge and it is not much of a stretch to think that this would be preferred initially for B.N.B. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $2,300.00. |
| 50678 | Copper Undated Heaton Mint Piefort Uniface Trial Pattern, Reverse only, as KM-2 but struck without a date and on a thick planchet weighing 18.5 gms (the regular coinage is 9.3g). Choice semi proof-like Unc lacquered. Comes with a ticket stating that it is ex: Farouk collection and probably ex Nasca Wayte Raymond 14 August 1978, lot No. 766, and probably ex Caldecott sale 1912, lot 252. This piece is much more difficult to date as there are no other series to compare and rationalize with, (as with the undated aluminum piece in this sale) because of the lack of date, one would want to go with the timing of the aluminum piece except the edge and thickness. We know that there is an 1896H Cent struck on a thin planchet as a Specimen strike, so there was obviously some considerations for different size of planchets during the run of this type. There is a 1903H 2 1/2 Cents, could there have been some consideration for a copper coin of this denomination instead of the copper nickel that was issued? Interesting to speculate, but difficult to prove. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $4,887.50. |
| 50679 | Copper Cent 1886H and 1890H, KM-2. Both pieces are the proof-like Specimen strikes that the Heaton Mint produced to advertise their coining capabilities. The B.N.B. series seemed to be a favorite of the Heaton mint as it did not mention a particular ruler but the design was simple and elegant. Technically no Proofs exist for B.N.B. and this is the best that the mint would produce. The 1886 has a bit of toning but the 1890 is brilliant. Choice Specimen Strikes. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $1,035.00. |
| 50680 | Copper Cent 1882H through 1907H, KM-2, a complete 12 piece date set of this series. The 9 coins from 1882, 1884, 1885, 1886, 1887, 1888, 1889, 1890, and the 1891 average EF, while the last 3 dates, 1894, 1896 and 1907 are AU with a touch of red. The 1894 and 1896 are quite undervalued in today's catalogues compared to the other dates. It should be quite enjoyable for the collector who buys this lot to try and upgrade the earlier examples knowing that the 3 'keys' are virtually un-upgradeable. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $862.50. |

|
| 50682 | George V Royal Mint Boxed Double 1913 Proof Set, KM-SS1. The coins included are all NGC graded: (2) Threepence PF63; (2) Sixpence PF64; (2) Shilling, a PF64 & a PF65; and (2) Two Shillings PF64--original box included. It really seems that the grading company took points off for toning, not for marks or cleaning. It is obvious that this is an original and rare Choice set since this is only the second set we have seen in the last few decades. This set came out of England a few years back and has basically stayed untouched since its striking. Krause has these listed as Specimens and prices them inline with the single 1913 set. There is a vast difference in the production of the two sets. The double sets came from specially polished planchets and dies, and almost as much care was put into them as the English 1911 Proof sets. The single sets are really just Uncs put in a little box as they came off the die, but there was no special care taken during their striking. Supposedly 200 of these sets were produced, but we have great difficulty believing that 200 sets still exist today. Although we have seen 20-30 sets, there is still nothing to compare the two sets since Krause does not separate the sets in their catalogue. Coins from B.W.A. of the same rarity brought more than $1,000 each at the recent Remick sales.Sold for: $13,800.00. |

| 51616 | Henry VI gold Noble 1422-1461, S-1799, AU58 NGC, Annulet issue, mm "incurved pierced cross" 1422-27. This coin was struck during the first reign of Henry VI, since the only gold coins struck during the few months of his second reign (1470-71) were angels and half angels. There is evidence of a small flan clip, which was one of the prices 'paid' on these early coins that left the mint without any security edge to 'protect' it.Sold for: $3,737.50. |
| 51617 | Edward IV Groat 1471-1483, S-2100, second reign, VF, mm. heraldic cinquefoil (1480-83). The coin has been clipped during its short circulation, but a strong and pleasant portrait remains.Sold for: $149.50. |
| 51618 | Richard III Groat 1483-1484, S-2157, mm sun and rose 2, F-VF. Some old dirt remains on the coin along with a small edge crack.Sold for: $920.00. |
| 51619 | Henry VIII Groat 1509-1547, S-2337E, Second coinage, 1526-44, pleasant VF, mm. lis/pheon, short hair that 'just' touches the collar of the king's robe.Sold for: $373.75. |
| 51620 | Henry VIII Groat 1509-1547, S-2337E, VF, second coinage, 1526-44, mm pheon/arrow. The coin has been dipped in the not-too-distant past, regardless, it has a strong portrait for this issue. The portrait has longer hair than the previous lot, with it flowing past the collar of his robe.Sold for: $299.00. |
| 51621 | Henry VIII gold Halfcrown 1509-1547, S-2285, strong VF, which has been bent and straightened, mm Rose, 1509-26, H K uncrowned to the sides of the obv. shield. Some luster remains, along with a wonderful reminder of a King who is well remembered for his excesses.Sold for: $2,070.00. |
| 51622 | Henry VIII gold Half Sovereign 1509-1547, type as S-2294 which was struck at the Tower mint with mm lis or pellet in annulet, and S-2296, with mm S, was either struck at the Southwark mint or the Bristol mint. The obv. mintmark seems to be mm #94, "Martlet", struck at either Canterbury or York, according to the Spink catalogue and is unlisted in gold. The rev. mm., while weak, appears to have the top of the 'W' apparent of the 'W/S' of Bristol. The coin is at least Fine for wear, but has the typical uneven strike of the Henry VIII issue especially in the area of the mm's. A coin that should be studied more.Sold for: $1,840.00. |
| 51623 | Henry VIII gold Angel 1509-1547, S-2265, first coinage, VF30 NGC, mm portcullis crowned. A good bit of the luster remains evident, and the grade is due more to the function of the strike than actual wear.Sold for: $2,530.00. |
| 51624 | Henry VIII gold Crown of the Double-Rose 1509-1547, S-2273, AU58 NGC, mm rose, H and K (Henry and Katherine of Aragon) crowned around rose. Some weakness is seen in the strike of the rose. Only three of Henrys' wives were 'fortunate' enough to have their initials on his coinage.Sold for: $2,760.00. |
| 51625 | Henry VIII gold Crown of the Double-Rose 1509-1547, S-2274, second coinage, XF40 NGC, crowned HK both sides, mm lis. Some unevenness is seen in the strike. Despite the unevenness, its interest rests with the knowledge that it was Henry VIII's son, Edward IV, who would strike the last 'crown' in gold.Sold for: $2,415.00. |
| 51626 | Henry VIII gold Half Sovereign Posthumous issue 1547-1551, S-2391, struck during the reign of Edward VI, the very young, sickly son of Henry, keeping his fathers name and portrait. mm. arrow, struck at the Tower mint. As with the majority of these very thin medieval gold coins, it has been bent and straightened, but it otherwise remains a very pleasant F-VF.Sold for: $2,070.00. |
| 51627 | Henry VIII gold Sovereign Posthumous coinage 1547-1551, S-2389, struck during the reign of Edward IV, but bearing the name and portrait of Henry. F-VF, weak on the king's portrait, mm lis. There is no photo representing this coin in the Spink catalogue, but the Roman lettering makes this an easily discernable issue. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $7,475.00. |
| 51628 | Mary Groat 1553-1554, S-2492, VF, a pleasant coin of this short-term monarch. There is a large raised dot in the rev. field in the 3rd quarter between the shield and legend.Sold for: $632.50. |
| 51629 | Philip and Mary Shilling 1554-1558, S-2498, undated but with value. Almost VF with strong portraits for the grade. A surprisingly intricate reverse design, incorporating the arms of Spain into the English coinage, with at least 11 separate varieties for this very short reign.Sold for: $2,530.00. |
| 51630 | Elizabeth I Groat 1578, S-2572, Fifth issue, VF, mm. Greek cross. The obverse has been struck twice with resultant 'ghosting'. The portrait is actually a bit stronger than the Spink catalog example.Sold for: $460.00. |
| 51631 | Elizabeth I Shilling 1558-1603 and James I Half Groat pairing, S-2555, second issue, 1560-61, mm Martlet, Fine for issue. The coin was cleaned at one time, but has pleasantly retoned. An old scratch can be seen in the Queen's dress, but she has a strong face making this a very collectable coin. The second coin in this lot is a Half Groat of James I (1603-25) third coinage, 1619-25, S-2671, mm trefoil, Fine. Sold for: $149.50. |
| 51632 | Elizabeth I Shilling 1602, S-2584, mm 2, better than Fine for issue, but a touch of granularity can be seen at the edge. The portrait is strong for an Elizabeth shilling and the mm '2' is much scarcer than the mm '1'.Sold for: $230.00. |
| 51633 | Elizabeth I Milled Shilling 1558-1603, S-2590, VF, struck 1561-72, large size planchet with decorated dress on the Queen. The coin is bent and straightened with a dig behind the queen's portrait and a dig in the Scottish shield on the reverse. Saying all that, this is still a very nice example of a milled Elizabeth Shilling. The portrait is strong, ornate, and pleasing--finding better would be extremely difficult.Sold for: $1,380.00. |
| 51634 | Elizabeth I Shilling 1561-1571, S-2592, VF30 ICG, Milled coinage, small size. This series was produced by the Frenchman Mestrelle starting in 1561. It was vastly superior in workmanship compared to the hammered coinage, but it proved to be too slow and inefficient and lasted only about 10 years. It would be over 100 years before the milled coinage became a part of everyday coin use.Sold for: $1,092.50. |
| 51635 | Elizabeth I gold Half Pound 1558-1603, S-2535, mm tun, used 1592-95, better than Fine for issue, but it has been bent and straightened, and a mount was possibly removed at 9 o'clock on the reverse. The Queen's portrait is still quite attractive, showing off her hair and dress in all its glory.Sold for: $4,312.50. |
| 51636 | Elizabeth I gold Sovereign 1558-1603, S-2529, Sixth issue, mm Escallop, 1584-86, VF, with a slight trace of a mount removed at 12 o'clock on the obverse. A wonderful example of what the medieval moneyer was capable of producing.Sold for: $6,900.00. |
| 51637 | Lot of hammered coins Henry VIII-Charles I. Henry VIII Groat, S-2369 F; Elizabeth Threepence 1580, S-2573, VG; Sixpence 1562, S-2596, F15 NGC; Charles I Sixpence (1639-40), S-2816, F12 NGC; Charles I Shilling (2 pieces) clipped mm triangle in circle VG; and a Shilling mm tun, S-2791, nicely toned crude VF, and very appealing for a Charles I Shilling. A nice historical group.Sold for: $460.00. |
| 51638 | James I Sixpence 1624, S-2670, mm trefoil, has been cleaned, regardless, it remains a strong Fine with a pleasant portrait of James.Sold for: $92.00. |
| 51639 | James I gold Crown 1603-1625, S-2624, First bust, mm Escallop struck 1606-07, a strong Fine for the issue with a shallow dig in front of the king's face. Good detail for the grade.Sold for: $546.25. |
| 51640 | James I gold Unite 1603-1625, S-2620, Fifth bust, mm cinquefoil struck 1613-25. The Schneider example #28 has double pellets between the reverse words, but this coin has single pellets. Choice VF-XF. A beautiful well-cared for coin.Sold for: $3,220.00. |
| 51641 | James I gold Rose Ryal 1603-25, S-2613, mm Rose struck 1605-06, better than Fine for issue, but the coin has been bent in two places and straightened. It has the typical color as a result of the heat applied to make this coin worthy of a collector's cabinet. A full round coin and historically important piece as the first 30 Shilling of James I.Sold for: $1,725.00. |
| 51642 | Charles I Halfcrown 1625-1649, York mint, S-2868, Choice VF-XF, with Charles on a tall horse and EBOR below. There is a rev. planchet flaw in the Irish harp which is quite typical of this series. Struck between 1643-44 during the civil war (as York was under Royalist control) with Roller dies that were suppose to be easier on the dies and allow them to last longer during this time of turmoil. The coinage of Charles I has the most fascinating coins with extremes in design and denomination, plus the greatest range of denominations. The coinage that came from York was well made, compared to the other extreme--Newark. The Newark Halfcrown that is in this sale is an example of what war could do to a country's coinage.Sold for: $1,840.00. |
| 51643 | Charles I Halfcrown 1625-1649, Newark mint, S-3140A, 1646, F12 NGC, same Reverse die as the VF in this sale but with dots between the cross and lys in the obverse crown.Sold for: $1,725.00. |
| 51644 | Charles I Halfcrown 1625-1649, Newark mint, S-3140A, 1646, VF. A well centered example of this 'necessity' coinage without the dots between the cross and lys in the obverse crown.Sold for: $3,450.00. |
| 51645 | Charles I Crown 1625-1649, S-2761, Choice and original VF, Tower mint under Parliament, Fourth horseman, foreshortened horse, mm Sun struck 1645-46. The surfaces and the Reverse are virtually XF while the king on his horse has its typical poor detail. Hard to expect better for this issue.Sold for: $2,990.00. |
| 51646 | Charles I Pound 1625-1649, S-2940, XF, Oxford Mint, Shrewsbury horseman trampling on arms, cannon amongst arms, 1642, gray tone. The obverse is double struck with some weakness in the field and the horse's left leg, but the King's portrait is strong. This is a VERY pleasing example of the largest silver coin struck in England, especially since it remains without the defects and knocks that haunt this series.Sold for: $27,600.00. |
| 51647 | Charles I gold Crown 1625-1649, S-2715, lustrous VF-XF, mm Tun struck 1636-38, group D, fourth bust. Ex Lockett collection with the original pedigree. These original pedigrees give us a very comforting link to the past.Not Sold. |
| 51648 | Charles I gold Double Crown 1625-1649, S-2701, Group C, third bust, mm Rose 1631-32. There are some weak spots due to the strike, but the coin is better than VF for the issue. This piece was struck at the Tower mint under the king. It has essentially the same value as the large silver Half Pound struck 10 years later, but this example is much easier on the lining of your purse!Sold for: $1,150.00. |
| 51649 | Charles I gold Unite 1625-1649, S-2685, Group A, first bust, mm Lis struck in 1625. F-VF but with a flan crack at 9 o'clock on the obverse into the beading. This coin is bent and straightened as so many of these hammered pieces seem to be. Its importance is gained as the first Unite struck for Charles I.Sold for: $862.50. |
| 51650 | Charles I gold Unite 1625-1649, S-2692, bust 5, mm Crown struck 1635-36. F-VF, but it is bent and straightened with some very light scratches. Hammered coins were being melted up through the Second World War as there was no market for the lower graded examples. So, in a way, we should feel fortunate that a coin like this is available at a 'modest' price.Sold for: $920.00. |
| 51651 | Charles I gold Unite 1625-1649, S-2734, Schneider 319, 1643, Oxford Mint. The coin is VF for wear, but it has its share of problems that one could expect of a 350 year old gold coin. There is a slight hint of a mount removed at 12 o'clock on the obverse, and the coin has been bent and straightened. The edge is more uneven than the typical Unite of this issue, suggesting that the planchet has been clipped. However, with a weight of 8.66 gms, it is not far off the low-end of the pieces in the Schneider collection that range from 8.86-9.06 gms. There is excess metal at 6 o'clock on the obverse and one would think that this would be the first place the medieval 'clipper' would take the metal from...anyway, the portrait is pleasant. Plus, the king's promise to uphold the Protestant Religion, the Laws of England, and the Liberty of Parliament is there in all of its 'history'.Sold for: $3,450.00. |
| 51652 | Commonwealth Shilling 1654, S-3217, XF, although cleaned at some time, it has still pleasantly retoned back. This is a most interesting coin with heavy evidence of having been struck at least 3 times, especially the reverse. The obverse has tripling in its design--all very close together. The lettering of the reverse has slight evidence of the triple striking, but the harp seems to have been struck widely apart. There also appears to be some straight lines that don't fit with the original design. Sold for: $1,063.75. |
| 51653 | Cromwell Crown 1658/7, S-3226. The coin is XF, but it has been cleaned, probably to hide the 'repair' of the die flaw through Cromwell's drapery. Regardless, the coin remains semi-proof-like. It is now hard for us to believe that some earlier collectors wanted this die crack repaired, but this is part of the coin's history and appeal.Sold for: $4,887.50. |
| 51654 | Cromwell Crown 1658/7, S-3226, AU58 PCGS, light blue tone. The typical obverse die break is very slight on this Crown, and that, in itself, is unusual. Most of these Crowns have a heavy die break. The die must have broken early, and since the mint was already behind in releasing the coins into circulation (note the 8 over a 7), they couldn't/wouldn't take the time to repair the die. Other Cromwell Crowns have the die break ground down (as seen in the lot above). It was ground and considered "repaired" in antiquity in the mistaken belief that this would improve the coin. As a point of interest, the date has quite a strong double punching of the 8.Sold for: $7,475.00. |
| 51655 | Charles II Halfcrown 1663, S-3361. One year type with the first bust of Charles. A very pleasant and original VF, interestingly, there are 3 distinctive patches of die rust on the obverse. This is the first milled halfcrown of Charles II and the die rust may indicate that the coin was some time in the making. Perhaps the mint was mostly focused on the 1662 Crowns.Sold for: $862.50. |
| 51656 | Charles II Crown 1662, S-3551 (edge not visible in slab but so designated), rose below bust, XF40 PCGS, usual detail lacking in the coin's center, nicely balanced in color and strike. The first milled crown of the Restoration and always popular and eagerly sought, in any grade. This one is much better than most that come to market worldwide. Medium gray toning with some mottling.Sold for: $1,380.00. |
| 51657 | Charles II Crown 1663, S-3354, no stops on reverse, VF30 NGC. Weak at the top of the English shield on the reverse, but it has good detail for a VF coin.Sold for: $575.00. |
| 51658 | Charles II Crown 1671, S-3357, Second bust, VF20 NGC, some light haymarking but a pleasant portrait.Not Sold. |
| 51659 | Charles II gold Two Guineas 1684, S-3335, Second bust. This coin has the detail of an XF coin, but has quite a few very small bag marks. It was as if this coin was in a well traveled purse that never got opened.Not Sold. |
| 51660 | James II Maundy set 1686, S-3418, a lustrous, virtually XF. Only three dates struck for this reign.Sold for: $747.50. |
| 51661 | James II Shilling 1687/6, S-3410, AU58 NGC. This coin has avoided the heavy haymarking that seems to plague this series. A long, thin die break on the reverse is seen through the Irish harp. Moderately toned and original. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $2,760.00. |
| 51662 | James II Half Guinea 1688, S-3404, MS63 NGC, a full Uncirculated example of this rare issue, the final of just 3 years of mintage for the type. Light planchet streak across the obverse, resulting from oxidation of the tin component of the gold alloy, and softly struck on part of the portrait (and on the opposing position on reverse, on part of the shield), but the luster is lovely and complete, as the NGC certification attests. 2008 Spink catalogue value is £3500 in XF grade.Not Sold. |
| 51663 | William and Mary Farthing in Silver 1694, Peck 623, PF61 NGC, with its design as the copper Farthings S-3453. From experience, it would seem that the only way to get a Choice portrait in silver of William and Mary, is to own one of these off-metal strikes. Lightly toned and well struck.Sold for: $2,070.00. |
| 51664 | William and Mary Halfcrown 1689, S-3434, First busts, first shields, Caul only frosted, with pearls. Moderately toned VF.Sold for: $431.25. |
| 51665 | William and Mary Halfcrown 1693, S-3436, with 3 struck over an inverted 3, MS64 NGC. A bit softly struck in the King's hair with a touch of haymarking, but struck on a semi-proof-like planchet. Moderately and attractively toned with some yellow, blue, and red highlights.Sold for: $5,750.00. |
| 51666 | William and Mary Maundy set 1692, S-3446. The Fourpence is the S-3440 with the second bust and is in an XF45 NGC holder. The One, Two, and Threepence are lustrous XF coins, while the Fourpence is very weakly struck. The reverse of the Twopence has a few handling marks, and the Threepence has GV under the bust.Sold for: $632.50. |
| 51667 | William III Sixpence 1696, S-3520, First bust, early harp, large crowns. A nice Frosty BU. The heavy obverse die clashes at the ties of the King's head only, which is quite strange!Sold for: $201.25. |
| 51668 | William III Sixpence 1700, S-3538, Choice original Unc with full design features, Third bust. Frosty and lightly toned.Sold for: $299.00. |
| 51669 | William III Sixpence 1700, S-3538, MS64 PCGS, lightly toned with some attractive green highlights on the reverse.Sold for: $431.25. |
| 51670 | William III Halfcrown 1698, S-3494, Decimo edge, MS63 PCGS. The coin is weakly struck on the obverse with some haymarking throughout, but it is otherwise frosty and original.Sold for: $1,035.00. |
| 51671 | William III Crown 1695, S-3470, Octavo edge, MS63 NGC. This Crown is moderately toned with light haymarking throughout, but there is no disturbance of the luster and it is a very presentable strike for this first bust of William.Not Sold. |
| 51672 | William III Crown 1696, S-3470, XF40 ICG, weakly struck in the hair, but it escapes the haymarking that seems to be endemic to this series.Sold for: $373.75. |
| 51673 | William III Crown 1700, S-3474, DVODECIMO edge, Third bust, XF40 NGC. This piece has a few light bagmarks that one would expect on a coin of this grade.Sold for: $805.00. |
| 51674 | William III Maundy Set 1701, S-3553, all ANACS graded: Pence MS62, Twopence MS63, Threepence AU50, Fourpence MS63. Quite pleasing for a William Maundy set.Sold for: $747.50. |
| 51675 | William III gold Guinea 1695, S-3458, First bust ANACS "genuine sea salvaged." This is a pleasant VF that shows what a couple of hundred years immersed in the ocean does to a coin.Sold for: $1,092.50. |
| 51676 | William III gold 5 Guineas 1701, S-3456, Second bust 'Fine work'. The coin is a VERY pleasant AU, but shows light evidence of having a mount removed at 12 o'clock on the obverse. The coin is semi-proof-like with a few light handling marks. The mount removal seems to have fooled a number of people in the past. Quite a stunning coin nevertheless.Not Sold. |
| 51677 | Anne Sixpence 1708E, S-3622, VF-XF, frosty and original with a few light reverse scratches. Edinburgh bust of Anne that has a more pointed nose and recessed eyebrow. The 'E' below bust shows that the coin was struck in Scotland.Sold for: $1,092.50. |
| 51678 | Anne Shilling 1703 VIGO, S-3586, 2nd Bust, Pre-Union type, lightly toned AU, struck with the bullion that the Anglo-Dutch expedition 'seized' in their fight against Spain. The word "Vigo" adds a new layer to our knowledge of where this silver came from. There are no 'old' English hammered coins in this piece, but perhaps a bit of blood from the Indians who were forced to mine this.Sold for: $1,610.00. |
| 51679 | Anne Shilling 1709, S-3610, Third bust of Anne. AU, semi reflective surfaces with a light gray tone.Sold for: $417.45. |
| 51680 | Anne Crown 1707, S-3578, slightly better hair detail than the other 1707 crown in this sale which graded XF40 by ICG, but this coin does not have the frost of the latter.Sold for: $1,150.00. |
| 51681 | Anne Crown 1707, S-3578, XF40 ICG, some frost remains but there are a few small planchet flaws on the Queens neck, as made. This type is the last Crown struck before the union of England and Scotland.Sold for: $517.50. |
| 51682 | Anne Maundy set 1706, S-3599. The Penny and Twopence are AU, and the Threepence and Fourpence are XF. All 4 pieces are frosty and original.Sold for: $373.75. |
| 51683 | Anne gold Half Guinea 1712, S-3575, VF-XF, semi reflective surfaces that show off a number of very light bagmarks (the kind of marks that would be quite hidden on a frosty coin). The reverse is very sharp.Sold for: $1,437.50. |
| 51684 | Anne gold Guinea 1712, S-3574, AVF. One scratch is evident on the Queen's neck. This is the third bust of Queen Anne.Sold for: $920.00. |
| 51685 | Anne gold Guinea 1714, S-3574, VF35 ICG, a number of light old scratches remain on the obverse. The reverse is well struck with a rather large die "cud' break on the top of the Irish harp.Not Sold. |
| 51686 | Anne gold Guinea 1714, S-3574, strong VF. This coin has a bit more obverse detail than the ICG graded VF35 in this sale, but unlike the other, has no reverse die cud.Sold for: $1,150.00. |
| 51687 | Anne gold Guinea 1714, S-3574, Mint State, as our British 'cousins' would say. This is really quite a spectacular Guinea. The fields are somewhat proof-like and the devices are quite frosty. There is a bit of die rust on the Queen's neck which just adds to its charm. We wouldn't be surprised to see this in a MS63 holder. With the common 1708 Shilling bringing more than $600 these days, this should be worth ten times that.Not Sold. |
| 51688 | George I Shilling 1723SSC, S-3647. There is just a hint of 'cabinet friction' in the leaves of the king's wreath, otherwise, it is pleasant. It is a little more darkly toned, and lacks any haymarking that one often finds of the coins of this era. Semi-proof-like surfaces and worthy of 'Unc' money.Sold for: $517.50. |
| 51689 | George I Shilling 1723SSC, S-3647, MS62 NGC. This piece is brilliant and frosty, but small haymarking marks are seen throughout the reverse and part of the obverse.Sold for: $517.50. |
| 51690 | George I gold 1/4 Guinea 1718, S-3638, AU. The doubling of the King's portrait that is endemic to this series is very slight on this piece compared to the ICG graded example in this sale. This proved to be an unpopular denomination and wasn't issued again for another 44 years. The way the numbers in the date were formed for this series is quite interesting, if you have a good glass, you should take the time to study them.Sold for: $517.50. |
| 51691 | George I gold 1/4 Guinea 1718, S-3638, AU55 ICG, a one year type and the first of this denomination struck.Sold for: $431.25. |
| 51692 | George I gold Half Guinea 1725, S-3637, AU58 NGC, Second bust of this German speaking English king. A bit of very light disturbance in the fields is evident due to its usual semi-proof-like surface.Sold for: $2,070.00. |

| 51722 | George III Pattern Halfpenny 1790, Peck 1023, Bronzed Proof, "Extremely Rare" Obverse, BRITANNIA in ex. 1790 Droz Inv. Droz under foot, Britannia seated pointing between B and R, paddle behind shield. The reverse is the unfinished die with Nude Britannia seated pointing as obverse, but with no design in the shield or paddle.

| 51723 | George III "Pattern" Halfpenny 1796, Peck 924, MS65 BN NGC. Peck describes this Obverse as "GEORGIVS III DEI GRATIA" with the draped bust to left laureated and armored...toothed border. Reverse, BRITANNIA. Britannia seated to left...1796 toothed border. This coin is Extremely Rare in copper. "Nothing has been found in the records about this piece but in view of the low relief of the designs...characteristics of Pingo's shilling and sixpence (et al) it is probable that this piece was done by the same artist. Its appearance eight years after the first Pingo and Droz patterns presents an unexpected and inexplicable reversion to the style of the 1770-75 issue." Peck goes on to say that the "rev. is little better than some of the best contemporary counterfeits, and the flan is miserably thin. Second thoughts in fact arouse doubts as to whether it is really a pattern, as apart from its poor quality and obsolescent rev. design the head to left is hard to reconcile with a pattern for George III." The addition of DEI GRATIA is also a first since the coins of Anne, d1714. Taking all the above into consideration, and focusing on the date 1796 a bit more, it isn't difficult to postulate that this was struck as a Pattern for the Provincial Token Coinage of the Eighteenth Century as described in Dalton and Hamer. Maybe the designer realized that this was too close to the regal coinage and decided it wasn't worth the threat to have this produced. Or, it was struck as an example for an unofficial American issue, and, after all was said and done, it was just too late for use in the United States. Collectors of the George II and III contemporary counterfeit coinage should have a very close look at the reverse of this piece to see if it fits in with anything they have. One could hope that we will all be pleasantly surprised to see this piece reach or exceed...Sold for: $4,887.50. |

| 51789 | George III Pattern 2 Guineas 1768, S-3724A, Wilson & Rasmussen 79, PR64 CAM PCGS. This is the first date of the pattern 2 Guineas (there were also patterns struck in 1773 and 1777). Douglas-Morris has this described as PATTERN TWO GUINEAS by John Tanner, young laureate bust facing right, hair long and with lovelock over left shoulder, rounded truncation, laurel wreath with berries interrupts legend, GEORGIVS. III. DEI. GRA. Reverse crowned garnished shield of arms, date either side of crown, M.B.F.ET.H.REX.F.D.B.ET.L.D.S.R.I.A.T.RT.E. edge plain. It sold for £8,800 back in 1974. W & R has this listed as a Rarity 4 with 11-20 known. This piece is lightly toned and one of the most beautiful coins in the English series.Sold for: $54,050.00. |
| 51790 | George III gold Half Sovereign 1817, S-3786, KM-673, XF for wear but rather baggy.Sold for: $517.50. |
| 51791 | George III gold Half Sovereign 1817, S-3786, KM-673, lightly polished XF-AU.Sold for: $431.25. |
| 51792 | George III gold Sovereign 1817, S-3785, KM-674, VF, one small reverse E.K. luster still in letters. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $747.50. |
| 51793 | George III gold Sovereign 1817, S-3785, KM-674, VF.Sold for: $690.00. |
| 51794 | George III gold Sovereign 1820, S-3785C, KM-674, almost XF with luster in the letters, small obv. E.K., large date, open 2.Sold for: $977.50. |
| 51795 | George III gold Sovereign 1820, S-3785C, KM-674. MS63 NGC. Large date open 2. This coin has a very pleasant Cameo look to it with only a few, very small, light bagmarks. The reverse is a little frostier than the obverse. It is a pleasantly original coin that has escaped aging remarkably well.Sold for: $2,990.00. |
| 51796 | George III gold Sovereign 1820, S-3785C, KM-674, VF, short date, 2 nearly closed.Sold for: $977.50. |
| 51797 | George IV 1826 Trio, KM697 and KM692. The Farthing and one Halfpenny PCGS has graded AU 58, while the other Halfpenny PCGS graded AU55. All three are very pleasant for the grade. The Farthing has mint red in the letters, and the date has a large 1 struck over a small 1, while the 6 was initially punched too high and then repunched.Sold for: $253.00. |
| 51798 | George IV Penny 1826, S-3823, KM-693, MS64 RB PCGS, plain saltire (lines in shield) on reverse. There are some spots of verdigris in front of the king's face. The 'red' is at the low end of the spectrum but a glossy coin.Sold for: $230.00. |
| 51799 | George IV Proof Sixpence 1826, S-3815, KM-698, PR63 NGC, bare bust. Toned from long exposure in the proof boxes that these were often stored in. The reverse is a more multi-colored tone, as this coin would have been stored with the obverse down.Sold for: $345.00. |
| 51800 | George IV Proof Sixpence 1826, S-3815, KM-698, PR63 NGC, bare bust. Another Proof that has toned from its storage in a proof box that often housed these coins. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $299.00. |
| 51801 | George IV Die Trial Obverse Uniface Halfcrown c.1820, Struck in COPPER, Obverse as S-3807, KM-676. The coin is a semi-proof-like toned Unc. It would make sense that this was struck in 1820 before the official run of the Halfcrowns began. Striking a coin in copper would be easier on the die than one struck in silver, AND no 'precious' metal would be unaccounted for. BUT, it is very interesting that the reverse has die rust and a hint of a laurel wreath and a hair curl pointing to the right, especially since all of George IV's portraits face left. What we can see is very much like the George III design...so where did this come from? From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $920.00. |
| 51802 | George IV Proof Halfcrown 1826, S-3809, KM-695, PF64 NGC. Pleasantly but darkly toned. One of 150 struck. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $2,070.00. |
| 51803 | George IV Crown 1821, S-3805, KM-680.1, SECUNDO, XF. Pleasantly toned but with a number of small bagmarks mostly hidden by the tone.Sold for: $431.25. |
| 51804 | George IV Crown 1822, S-3805, KM-680.1, SECUNDO, semi-proof-like AU. This Crown has been lightly cleaned in the past, yet has natural retoning.Sold for: $1,092.50. |
| 51805 | George IV gold Duo, KM-689 and KM-696, 1825 1/2 Sovereign Fine, and an 1830 Sovereign F-VF.Sold for: $690.00. |
| 51806 | George IV gold Sovereign 1821, S-3800, KM-682, strong VF. First year of the type.Sold for: $747.50. |
| 51807 | George IV gold Sovereign 1827, S-3801, KM-696, VF with luster still in the letters.Sold for: $862.50. |
| 51808 | George IV gold Sovereign 1829, S-3801, KM-696, a bit better than VF, but a number of bagmarks can be seen on the neck.Sold for: $977.50. |
| 51809 | George IV gold Sovereign 1829, S-3801, KM-696, VF with some bagmarks.Sold for: $747.50. |
| 51810 | George IV gold Two Pounds 1823, S-3798, KM-690, about VF. A one year type that has seen honest wear.Sold for: $1,437.50. |
| 51811 | George IV gold Proof Two Pounds 1826, S-3799, KM-701. Proof, Inscribed edge. Numerous light hairlines that are partially covered by the natural toning, but it is one of only 150 struck.Sold for: $6,325.00. |
| 51812 | William IV copper Halfpenny 1837, S-3847, MS64 RB ANACS, ample mint luster along the rims and the legends, diebreak to right of date and another above the king's forehead. Die alignment off by about 20 degrees.Sold for: $276.00. |
| 51813 | William IV copper penny 1831, S-3845, KM-707, Glossy XF-AU, a few marks, but a quite pleasing color.Not Sold. |
| 51814 | William IV minor quintet dating from 1830 to 1837. Included in this lot is an 1834 1 1/2 pence KM-719, dark VF+; an 1832 Twopence, KM-709, VF, obverse damage; an 1835 Threepence, KM-710, non-Maundy, Choice Nicely toned Unc, struck for use in the West Indies; an 1836 Groat, KM-723, toned EF-AU; and an 1837 Fourpence, KM-711, Maundy, toned XF (interesting to think that this Maundy piece actually saw real circulation).Sold for: $207.00. |
| 51815 | William IV THE Maundy Set 1833. Forty-four coins are housed in a contemporary box built specifically to hold these coins. There are (3) Fourpence pieces, (4) Threepence pieces, (7) Twopence pieces, and (30) Onepence pieces. The total face value of these coins is 68 Pence, which is consistent with the tradition by which the King of England would present 1d for each year of his life to a number of poor people selected by the Lord High Almoner of England. William IV was born Aug 21, 1765, and would have been 68 years old on Maundy Thursday in 1833. This set is accompanied by a 3" x 1.25" contemporary parchment label reading in a lovely calligraphic hand "Maunday(sic) Money. These Coins were presented to Mrs. Bruce of London. April 4th 1834 by command of his present Majesty". The case is 7" x 4" , rounded ends with two brass hook clasps and looks completely contemporary with the coins. The coins are toned the dark blue that one would expect from a case such as this. There is no wear on the coins, but it is possible that the coins were lightly cleaned at some time--merely adding a little charm as it shows that the coins didn't just lie around unappreciated. It is likely that Mrs. Bruce was proud of her coins and wanted to be sure they were 'nice and shiny' to show off to her friends and neighbors. This is a fascinating set and THE Maundy set to show everything we know about this service that traces its history back to the New Testament when Jesus Christ washed the feet of his Disciples.Sold for: $3,737.50. |
| 51816 | William IV Proof Sixpence 1831, S-3836, KM-712, Plain Edge PF65 NGC, coin die axis. Obverse is mostly a reddish hue with the frost of the King's portrait very strong, while the reverse is a dark blue.Not Sold. |
| 51817 | William IV Sixpence 1831, S-3836, KM-712, MS65 NGC, mottled gray tone over very frosty surfaces.Sold for: $373.75. |
| 51818 | William IV Proof Shilling 1831, S-3835, KM-713, PF65 NGC, plain edge. As with most early 19th century Proofs that were stored in their contemporary boxes, this has acquired the dark blue with hints of rose color that the felt and silk gave these pieces. It was the clumsy collectors in the last 175 years that gave these pieces the marks that we too often see. Thankfully this Shilling is quite free of those marks.Sold for: $1,311.00. |
| 51819 | William IV Shilling 1836, S-3835, KM-713, MS66 PCGS, moderately toned with a preponderance of red. Quite a beautiful coin.Sold for: $862.50. |
| 51820 | William IV Halfcrown 1831, S-3834A, KM-714.1, W.W. in block letters. Proof only issue. The scarcer of the two proofs of this year. This coin has not been well loved since it was struck. It has been polished and knocked about a bit with a few marks on the obverse. XF Proof.Sold for: $488.75. |
| 51821 | William IV Halfcrown 1836, S-3834, KM-714.2, AU, with a light gray tone, a few handling marks exist on the king's bust, but it is an early strike.Sold for: $345.00. |
| 51822 | William IV gold Sovereign 1837, S-3829B, KM-717. There is a bit of disturbance in the luster on the King's cheek, but this is really a very nice coin. The luster and strike is excellent and we have seen worse coins graded 62. The Spink catalogue mentions the variety "tailed 8" which is what we believe this piece to be. A "tailed 8" is considered to be when the first 8 had been punched in at an odd angle. Then, they had attempted to straighten it out with the second 8, so the bottom right and top left of the original 8 is visible. There is also are two die breaks on the 7 in the date. One of the die breaks makes it look like the 7 is over a 9, which of course is impossible(?). There is also an odd mark in the bottom of the shield directly above the 3 in the date that shouldn't be there. This is brought to the collector's attention because this is the same mint that placed the "N" of "ANNO" in the shield on some 1836 Sovereigns!Sold for: $3,737.50. |
| 51823 | Victoria Proof Farthing 1881, S-3958, KM-753, PR65 RB PCGS, 3 berries in wreath, Peck 1903, Extremely Rare. The shield is heraldically colored for the first time. While this has been graded Red and Brown, we see this as mostly subdued red with a bit of toning behind Victoria's portrait.Not Sold. |
| 51824 | Victoria Proof Halfpenny 1839, S-3949, KM-726a, PR64 BN NGC. Bronzed Proof as issued in the sets, medal die alignment.Sold for: $920.00. |
| 51825 | Victoria Proof Halfpenny 1863, S-3956, KM-749.2, PR64 BN NGC, Peck 1780 as Very Rare. The Spink catalogue mentions the large and small 3 in the date, and this has both! Large 3 over a small 3. The red luster is very subdued but it is still a very pleasing coin.Sold for: $920.00. |
| 51826 | Victoria Penny 1841, S-3948, KM-739, medium brown Choice Glossy AU. Ornamental trident with no colon after REG. Peck 1484. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $115.00. |
| 51827 | Victoria Penny 1853 Duo, S-3948, KM-739. Choice Unc with a touch of red. Both pieces are the Ornamental Trident type, but as Peck notes, there is a slight difference in the placement of the colon after DEF on both Peck 1500 and 1503 (Rare), which he calls "colon slightly nearer DEF." Sold for: $287.50. |
| 51828 | Victoria Pattern Penny 1860, Peck 2139, Choice bronzed Proof, by Adolph Weyl. Obverse VICTORIA D.G.BRITANNIAR REG.F.D. Head to left, very similar to W. Wyon's young head portrait. Reverse UNITED.KINGDOM.AND.GREATER.BRITAIN.ONE PENNY AROUND shields. Reeded edge. These were produced in Germany near the end of the 19th century in very limited number. Peck only notes a total of 33 known (including the pieces dated 1887) in their various metals: gold, silver, aluminum, copper, and bronzed copper. Note that the obverse is similar to the Orange Free State and Griquatown patterns produced in Germany by Otto Nolte. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $1,840.00. |
| 51829 | Victoria Maundy set Duo 1865 & 1882, KM-MDS 116 and 137. Both sets are Choice Uncirculated with very pleasant original tone. There is a dated box for the 1865 set with the initials M.H. above the date, the edges of the box have been cut in the corners, but it still retains an attractive gold edge scroll.Sold for: $747.50. |
| 51830 | Victoria and Edward Maundy Sets, Average XF, 4 sets: 1888, 1895, 1897, and 1903.Sold for: $488.75. |
| 51831 | Victoria Proof Shilling 1839, S-3904, KM-734.1, PF63 Plain Edge NGC, BUT medal die axis. Spink says this should have a coin die axis. The only medal die axis is the S-3902 Proof with W.W. on the truncation, which this Shilling lacks. The coin has mostly dark blue tones with a touch of some greens and reds.Sold for: $977.50. |
| 51832 | Victoria Shilling 1897, S-3940A, KM-780, MS67 NGC, ex Cheshire collection. Attractively toned in greens and reds. There are a few bagmarks under the tone, but to date it is the finest graded by NGC.Sold for: $287.50. |
| 51833 | Victoria Florin 1849, S-3890, KM-745, AU58 PCGS, godless Florin, with W.W. behind portrait. A number of light bagmarks can be seen, but there is little actual wear.Sold for: $253.00. |
| 51834 | Victoria Florin 1849, S-3890, KM-745, MS66 NGC, with W.W. behind portrait. Lightly toned over frosty surfaces.Sold for: $805.00. |
| 51835 | Victoria Florin Trio 1872-1878, KM-746.2, with die numbers. The 1872 is die #156, NGC AU58; the 1873 is die#187, but the 8 is over a 1, and the 7 seems to be over an 8(?)--repunching of the die number is very unusual, NGC AU58; the 1878 (incorrectly marked 1873 on the holder) is die #21, NGC AU58. Here we have three different 58's with varying degrees of wear. The 1873 is particularly nice.Sold for: $460.00. |
| 51836 | Victoria 15 piece Florin lot 1849-1881 including: KM-745, 1849 (2) with W.W grading XF & AU; KM-746.1, 1852, 1853, 1856, 1858; KM-746.3, 1864 Die#64, 1866 Die #1 and #19, last reverse heavily corroded; KM-746.2, 1872, 1873 corroded, 1874, 1875, 1876; and a KM-746.4, 1881. Average VF except where noted.Sold for: $1,380.00. |
| 51837 | Victoria Florin quartet including: an 1858, AU55 PCGS--the date on the holder is 1873, but who's counting--an 1859, VF35 NGC; an 1885, AU55 NGC; and an 1887 Jubilee head MS64 NGC.Sold for: $373.75. |
| 51838 | Victoria Proof Halfcrown 1839, KM-740, PF65 NGC, Plain edge, Medal die axis, with one plain and one ornate fillet in the Queen's hair, W.W. raised on the truncation. Spink actually doesn't have this variety listed, but it is one of the two die alignments that the Proof sets held. As with the other 19th century Proofs in this sale, this has the dark blue tone that we see on coins stored in their cases of issue. This is a particularly attractive example and a Proof is the only way that a collector could expect to put this date into their collection.Sold for: $5,175.00. |
| 51839 | Victoria Proof Halfcrown 1893, KM-782, PR64 CAMEO NGC, Old Head. A VERY attractive 64. Most of the blue toning is in the devices so this leaves the portrait particularly strong and frosty.Sold for: $546.25. |
| 51840 | Victoria Double Florin 1887, KM-763, MS65 NGC, Arabic 1 in date, Jubilee head. Mostly blue and yellow tone is seen hiding a number of light bag marks. This denomination seems to be the most difficult to find in nice grade of all the 1887-1892 issues. Sold for: $345.00. |
| 51841 | Victoria Double Florin 1889, KM-763, Choice semi-proof-like AU-UNC, inverted 1 for I in VICTORIA. Lightly toned, but the surfaces show off a number of light bag marks. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $253.00. |
| 51842 | Victoria Crown 1844, S-3882, KM-741, Young Head. VF-XF with much frost remaining but a number of bag marks.Not Sold. |
| 51843 | Victoria Crown 1845, S-3882, KM-741, AU55 NGC, Young Head, a few more bag marks than we would care to see on a '55' coin.Not Sold. |
| 51844 | Victoria Crown 1845, S-3882, KM-741, MS64 NGC. This is one of those coins that has been discussed in the business as "does a Mint State example really exist?" There have been many seen that were called 'Mint State', but upon viewing didn't quite make the cut. We are very happy to have the question answered. Yes, a Mint State Victoria Young Head Crown does exist. This piece is moderately toned with the cartwheel look that you would expect from a coin with undisturbed luster. There are a few light bagmarks but this should keep even the fussiest of collectors happy.Not Sold. |
| 51845 | Victoria Crown 1847, S-3882, KM-741, XF45 NGC, Young head coinage. Dark gray surfaces. The scarcest date of this 3-year series.Not Sold. |
| 51846 | Victoria Crown 1847, S-3882, KM-741, AU53 NGC, Young head coinage. This Crown has been lightly cleaned at some time in the past, plus a scratch is evident in the hair, but overall, it is well struck.Sold for: $460.00. |
| 51847 | Victoria Crown 1847, S-3883, KM-744, GOTHIC type, XF, but has been rather harshly cleaned. Cleaning is an all-too-common occurrence. As one of the most beautiful coins produced by the Royal Mint, it ended up in the hands of a lot of non-numismatists who thought nothing of giving their heirloom a little 'polish'. We can always look at this positively in that at least it didn't get melted, which has been the fate of a lot of Victorian coinage of less beautiful design.Sold for: $1,495.00. |
| 51848 | Victoria Crown 1847, S-3883, KM-744, Gothic type, inscribed edge, the wear on this is not quite as much as the previous piece but the polishing has been even harsher. It fooled some people into believing that this was a Proof.Sold for: $1,495.00. |
| 51849 | Victoria Crown 1847, S-3883, KM-744, PF65 NGC Gothic type, inscribed edge. Coin die axis. Predominantly blue toned, but this has obviously been well cared for since its striking. Easily one of the most beautiful coins ever produced by the Royal Mint.Sold for: $8,625.00. |
| 51850 | Victoria Crown 1847, S-3883, KM-744, Gothic type, plain edge PROOF, medal die axis. Beautiful green tone in the devices change to yellow as it approaches the center of the coin. There are a few light obverse marks on the coin, and a mark on the high wire rim of the reverse at 3 o'clock. If you are looking for 64's or better, this should fulfill your need.Sold for: $5,750.00. |
| 51851 | Victoria Pattern Crown 1887, E.S.C. 343 PATTERN by J.R. Thomas for Spink and Son, lightly toned Proof-like Unc, but with numerous hairlines, "Made in Bavaria" on edge. Obverse VICTORIA.BY.THE.GRACE.OF.GOD.QUEEN.OF.GREAT.BRITAIN.EMP:OF.INDIA, her old bust crowned, veiled and draped left. J.R.T. on truncation. Reverse FIVE SHILLING above royal arms with supporters, MDCCCLXXXVII and spray below. E.S.C. gives this a R5 rating (as in 5-10 known) and it implies that only some had the edge inscribed. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $6,900.00. |
| 51852 | Victoria Crown 1893 LVI, KM-783, frosty BU, Old head, first year of the type. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $264.50. |
| 51853 | Victoria Crown 1893 LVI, KM-783, frosty lightly toned BU. No rubs on the cheek as is often seen on this issue. The obverse fields are somewhat proof-like.Sold for: $546.25. |
| 51854 | Victoria Proof Crown 1893 LVI, KM-783, PF64 NGC, Old head, light overall gray tone. One of 1312 struck that year. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $1,437.50. |
| 51855 | Victoria Proof Crown 1893 LVI, KM-783, PF65 NGC. Lightly toned surfaces with a slightly deeper mirror surface than the other Proof in this sale.Sold for: $2,300.00. |
| 51856 | Victoria Crown 1895 LIX, KM-783, MS62 NGC. A much scarcer date than the 1893. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $373.75. |
| 51857 | Victoria Crown 1897 LX, KM-783, XF, a bit 'dirty' but very pleasant surfaces for the grade.Sold for: $126.50. |
| 51858 | Victoria Silver Jubilee 1887 NGC set, including: Threepence MS65; Sixpence, KM-759, MS63; Shilling, MS64; Two Shillings, MS63; Halfcrown, MS63; Double Florin, Roman 1 in date MS63; and a Crown, MS63. A lightly toned and evenly matched set.Sold for: $782.00. |
| 51859 | Victoria gold Half Sovereign 1855, KM735.1, MS62 NGC. Nicely struck in the Queen's hair, but a bit of friction is evident on her face. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $747.50. |
| 51860 | Victoria gold Half Sovereign 1893, KM-784, MS65 NGC, first year of the 'old' type. It was almost 100 years before anyone had any appreciation for the Half Sovereigns and decided to take care of them. It was too late for most of them and they ended up very baggy Uncs. This piece is quite the exception.Sold for: $345.00. |
| 51861 | Victoria gold Proof Sovereign 1839, S-3852, PF62 PCGS, Plain Edge, Medal die axis. This coin has the frosted head and devices with the usual light hairlines that plague these gold proofs. It appears that most of the hairlines on this coin are on the die, and therefore only in the fields. There is evidence of die rust on Victoria's face, and we suspect this was struck later than the date of this coin for inclusion in the UNA sets that continued to be issued through the 1880's. To take a Proof die from storage and polish it up for striking a coin or two for VIP's, et al, makes more sense than producing a new Proof die. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $5,750.00. |
| 51862 | Victoria lot of five gold Sovereigns 1842, KM736.1, five specimens of this early British Sovereign, average VF. Sold as is no returns accepted. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $1,610.00. |
| 51863 | Victoria lot of six gold Sovereigns 1846-1872, KM736.1, 1846 nice VF-XF; 1847 XF; 1847 XF; 1863 VF; 1872 VF; KM752, 1872 nice AU. Sold as is, no returns accepted. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $1,955.00. |
| 51864 | Victoria gold Sovereign Duo, KM-736.1, 1850, VF-XF; and an 1852, Choice Frosty XF-AU. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $632.50. |
| 51865 | Victoria gold Sovereign 1857, KM-736.1, Choice Frosty AU-UNC.Sold for: $402.50. |
| 51866 | Victoria gold Sovereign 1871, KM-752, S-3856, Large B.P. St George reverse. Semi proof-like AU-UNC.Not Sold. |
| 51867 | Victoria gold Sovereign shield reverse 1874, DIE # 33. S3853B, KM-736.2, Virtually VF and one of the Rarest sovereigns of Victoria. The die numbering system employed by the mint from 1863 to 1874 is a wonderful study group in itself. For example the highest die number known for the 1874 sov. is 34, but so far, there have only been 6 die numbers found. Where are the other at least 28 die numbers? This is part of the fascination of these coins, all the KM-736.2 sovs. have missing die numbers including 1872 that is missing more than 75! Could they REALLY all have been melted? or are they sitting somewhere waiting to be acknowledged? From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $5,175.00. |
| 51868 | Victoria gold Two Pounds 1887, S-3865, KM768, Jubilee head, lightly polished but no wear and basically mark free. No period after P in exergue.Sold for: $575.00. |
| 51869 | Victoria gold Two Pounds 1887, S-3865, KM-768, Jubilee Head, Nice Frosty BU. Variety with period after B.P. and slightly smaller letters than the other 1887 Two Pound in this sale.Sold for: $718.75. |

| 51872 | Victoria gold Two Pounds 1893, S-3873, KM-786, "Old' head, MS64 NGC. The fields are basically free of marks but there are a few light marks on the Queen's face. The 1893 is much harder to find above '62' than the 1887.Sold for: $2,185.00. |
| 51873 | Victoria gold Five Pounds 1887, KM-769. MS63 PCGS. Frosty and Original.Sold for: $2,530.00. |
| 51874 | Victoria gold Five Pound 1887, KM-769, Baggy AU-UNC, struck on a semi-proof-like planchet that magnifies the baggy look, but it has very little if any actual wear.Sold for: $1,380.00. |
| 51875 | Victoria 10 piece Proof Set 1893, Old "Veiled" head, NGC graded Proof 60-62. The gold is: a Half Sovereign PF61 CAMEO; a Sovereign PF60 CAMEO; a Two Pound PF61 CAMEO; a 5 Pound PF62 CAMEO. The grade is consistent with the majority of the Proof sets we have seen come out of England. One would expect with a mintage of 773 sets that finding really Choice sets would not be difficult, anyone who is collecting this series knows differently.Sold for: $11,500.00. |
| 51876 | Victoria gold 1893 Proof Set. The Half Sovereign, KM784, and Sovereign, KM785, are graded PF65 CAMEO NGC. A light tone covers both coins from long-term storage in the Proof case. The Two Pound, KM786, is graded PF64 CAMEO NGC. It is hard to see why this was only called a 64. Perhaps, it is because of the bit of tone in front of Victoria's face. This is consistent with the toning of the other four coins in this set so it shouldn't affect the grade. The Five Pound, KM787, is graded PF64 ULTRA CAMEO NGC. There are a few light hairlines that one would expect for this grade and for the fragile surfaces of a Proof gold coin of the 19th century. The ULTRA CAMEO seems to make up for these hairlines.Sold for: $17,250.00. |
| 51877 | Edward VII Maundy set 1902, KM-MDS158, PCGS graded MS66 for the One and Twopence. MS65 for the Three and Fourpence. Moderately but mostly a blue-red tone.Sold for: $253.00. |
| 51878 | Edward VII Short Matte Proof set 1902, KM-PS16, Maundy set through to the Sovereign. Choice lightly toned Matte Proofs. Nicer than what is usually available. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $1,495.00. |
| 51879 | Edward VII Partial Matte Proof set 1902, listed as KM-PS16, but missing the Maundy set. The set contains the Sixpence through to the Sovereign. The silver has been mishandled in the past with resultant hairlines, but the gold is original.Sold for: $1,092.50. |
| 51880 | Edward VII & George V Maundy sets. The 1902 set is a frosty AU-UNC. The 1903 set is a toned AU-UNC. The 1904 and 1914 sets are originally toned Choice Unc, with the 1914 being the lowest mintage of the George V series.Sold for: $488.75. |
| 51881 | Edward VII Crown 1902, KM-803. The 1902 Crown is a very common coin in anything less than MS60. It was obviously kept, and just as obviously not cared for. To find an example with minimal bagmarks, or nice toning, is extremely difficult. This example has BEAUTIFUL green tone that covers light bagmarks and a small corrosion spot on the King's nose. This coin has been cared for, but not quite as much as we would hope. However, we believe it could be a very long time before you see better!Sold for: $345.00. |
| 51882 | Edward VII Two Pounds 1902, KM-806, XF/AU, much frost remains on the reverse.Sold for: $690.00. |

| 51885 | George V eight-piece silver set 1911, as KM-PS19, Maundy set just proof-likes. NGC graded the Pence AU58, and it has been cleaned and retoned back naturally; the Twopence MS63 (label incorrectly states Threepence); the Threepence MS64; the Fourpence MS61; the Sixpence PF65; the Shilling PF64; the Florin PF64; and the Halfcrown PF65. The four Proofs are beautifully toned and quite superb for the grades given.Sold for: $632.50. |
| 51886 | George V Sextuplet Proofs 1911. NGC graded the Sixpence PF64; the Shilling (2) PF64 and 66; the Florin PF65; and the Halfcrown (2) PF64 and 66. All six coins are beautifully toned, and it would be an interesting task to try and figure out why any of these were called 64.Sold for: $1,380.00. |
| 51887 | George V eight-piece Proof set 1911, NGC graded the Maundy set Pence PF64; the Twopence PF65; the Threepence PF64; the Fourpence PF67; the Sixpence PF66; the Shilling PF66; the Florin PF66; and the Halfcrown PF66. All eight Proofs have the attractive green-blue toning that they acquire from storage in their original boxes. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $1,380.00. |
| 51888 | George V Sextuplet Proof set 1927, KM-PS20, set with plush box with English coat of arms on outside. All six Proofs are moderately toned from long storage in this box, but otherwise they remain untouched and Very Choice. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $1,035.00. |
| 51889 | George V gold Proof Half Sovereign 1911, KM-819, PF63 NGC. The coin is a bit cloudy from its storage, but still remains pleasant.Sold for: $299.00. |
| 51890 | George V gold Proof Five Pound 1911, KM-822, PF64 DCAM PCGS. Sometimes the holder says it all! Only one piece has been certified in this grade by PCGS.Not Sold. |
| 51891 | George VI Double Obverse Penny 1937-1952, MS60 BN NGC "Mint error with two obverse dies KM-845." It would seem that this would have been a little bit of 'mint sport' where someone within the mint would have struck this as an interesting keepsake. Still Very Rare and an interesting "error"Sold for: $4,025.00. |
| 51892 | George VI 15 piece Proof set 1937. KM-PS21, Maundy set through to Crown in Original box. The coins are quite 'bright' and have some handling marks.Sold for: $172.50. |
| 51893 | George VI fifteen piece Proof set 1937, KM-PS 21. Choice set in the original box.Sold for: $373.75. |
| 51894 | George VI 15 piece Proof set 1937, KM-PS21, without the box. The coins in this set are lightly toned, and most of the coins have quite a cameo effect. There is the odd, very small mark seen on a few of the coins, but it is still quite a Choice set. The cameo on the Crown is particularly sharp. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $488.75. |
| 51895 | George VI Proof Half Sovereign 1937, KM-858, PR64 Cameo PCGS. The tone is a bit cloudy but the Cameo is very attractive.Sold for: $661.25. |
| 51896 | George VI Proof Half Sovereign 1937, KM-858, PF66 NGC. The only Half Sovereign struck for George VI.Sold for: $1,150.00. |
| 51897 | George VI gold Proof Sovereign 1937, KM-859, a few handling marks but the only Sovereign struck for this Sovereign. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $2,300.00. |
| 51898 | George VI gold Proof Sovereign 1937, KM-859. This piece is lightly toned and has a few stray hairlines, but remains a very popular type coin. From the collector's perspective, this is the most popular coin out of the 4-piece set.Sold for: $2,530.00. |
| 51899 | George VI gold Proof Two pounds 1937, KM-860. A few light hairlines and a few handling marks can be seen in front of the King's eyes. The cameo is quite strong and pleasant. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $747.50. |
| 51900 | George VI gold Two Pounds 1937, KM-860, PF66 ULTRA CAMEO NGC. Another one year type in superb grade.Sold for: $2,200.00. |
| 51901 | George VI gold Proof Five Pounds 1937, KM 861. Lightly toned, and a few stray hairlines are noticed, but this coin has a strong, undisturbed cameo. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $2,070.00. |
| 51902 | George VI gold Proof Five Pounds 1937, KM-861. PF62 CAMEO NGC. Sold for: $2,300.00. |
| 51903 | George VI gold Proof Five Pounds 1937, KM-861, PF64 NGC. This should have been given a Cameo designation, but then again, they all are Cameo to a great extent.Sold for: $2,300.00. |
| 51904 | George VI gold Proof Five Pounds 1937, KM-861, PF66 ULTRA CAMEO NGC. Quite an impressive gold coin, and the only Five Pound for this King.Sold for: $4,456.25. |
| 51905 | George VI gold Proof Set 1937, KM-PS22, with original box. The Half Sovereign has a heavy cameo, while the other three pieces are cameo with some light hairlines. The Sovereign has a few scratches on the king's cheek.Sold for: $5,750.00. |
| 51906 | Elizabeth II Proof Sixpence 1957, PF66 NGC. This coin is lightly toned and is a common characteristic of copper-nickel Proof coins. The process of coining a Proof, from the heavily polished planchet and dies through to the striking pressure, must have been a factor in this toning. Beside the 1953 Proofs, which were struck in mass quantity, the other dates are extremely Rare with the consensus being that 10 to a maximum of 20 were struck for presentation purposes or for VIP collectors.Sold for: $1,035.00. |
| 51907 | Elizabeth II Specimen Crown 1965, KM-910, SP65 NGC. This has been called the "Satin Finish" Specimen. It was first acknowledged in 1968 at an auction in London to raise money for charity. The die polishing is quite severe so it would make sense that only a few were struck late in the dies' life, and those coins produced went to a few special causes of the day.Not Sold. |
| 51908 | Elizabeth II gold Proof Set 1982, KM-PS42, including the Half Pound through Five Pound. Encapsulated at issue. Gem Cameo Proofs.Sold for: $1,955.00. |

| 51936 | Carlos III gold 8 Escudos 1768-G, KM31, Cal. 666, AU. Even though Guatemala became part of colonial Spain in 1541, it never got its Mint until 1733. Initially, minting was very limited and mostly cob gold coins were produced. Similarly a very small quantity of gold doubloons were minted between the years of 1754 and 1768. Most if not all of 8 Escudos minted in Guatemala prior to 1817 are of great rarity. The specimen presented here is a one-year type and features a unique Carlos III bust. This coin has light orange gold with some original luster, nicely struck and great eye appeal. Calico states that "only a few specimens are known".

| 51980 | Republic gold Peso 1888, KM56, MS64 PCGS, a stunningly beautiful example with full glowing mint brilliance and somewhat prooflike surfaces. One of the finest gold Pesos of Honduras that we have seen. Ex: Hammel Collection.Sold for: $1,610.00. |

| 51983 | Victoria Pattern One Cent 1863, KM4.1 and Pn72, PF62 RB PCGS, Pridmore 165B and 287. This is technically a Pattern with the reverse central dot, since the dot was not used on the circulating coins. It should stay as KM-Pn72 and Pr-287 ONLY. This variety really does not qualify as a Proof, as the surfaces were not up to the standards one would expect on a Proof coin of this era. It is a Specimen strike, which covers part of the description of a Specimen coin in that it wasn't intended for circulation. This is the most common of the 1863 Patterns, with perhaps 50 struck examples to be given out to the people who would help make the final decision on what the circulating coins would be. The final decision was to remove the dot. This is struck with the medal die axis. It is also known to exist with a coin die axis. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $1,150.00. |
| 51984 | Victoria Proof One Cent 1865, KM4.1, Choice Red and Brown Proof, Pr-166A. This coin covers most of the criteria of what one would expect of a Proof coin of this era. The wide sharp rim, the proof surfaces, and the evidence of a double striking. The only characteristic lacking is the frosted bust that comes from the acid etching of a die. There is enough to this coin for a collector or a grading service to study. Along with the other pieces in this sale, one should be able to differentiate the qualities of an Unc, Specimen, or Proof. This is struck with a medal die axis. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $862.50. |
| 51985 | Victoria "Proof" One Cent 1876, KM4.2, PF65 BN PCGS, Pr-169a. As with the 1863 and 1865 One Cent pieces in this sale, there are some significant differences in the quality behind the striking of this coin. This was struck at the Heaton Mint, and technically they didn't strike any Proof coins. Heaton Mint certainly struck some of the most beautiful coins of the British Commonwealth as we really first noticed when Paramount sold some of the Heaton Mint holdings at auction in 1975. This coin is a Specimen strike since the most noticeable characteristic lacking of a Proof is the weakness in the strike. However, the surfaces are fully Prooflike and are fully inline with the pieces that came out of the Heaton Mint holdings some 30-odd years ago. This is a coin die axis. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $1,265.00. |
| 51986 | Victoria Five Cents 1887, KM5, MS64 PCGS. Original tone with hints of blue. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $805.00. |
| 51987 | Victoria Proof Five Cents 1893, KM5, PF65 NGC. After the flurry of activity at the various mints to get the Hong Kong currency ready for circulation in the 1860's, the quality of their "Proof" coins became quite neglected. During the last few decades of Victoria's reign, the "Proof-Specimens" produced were really quite a sorry lot, with the Heaton Mint producing the only distinguished coins for Hong Kong. There didn't seem to be much care in the production of Proof coins. The only devices resembling a Proof is the proof-like surface with some frost. The features of this coin are consistent with the pieces currently residing in the British Museum, which are all ex: Freemantle. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $1,265.00. |
| 51988 | Victoria Pattern Ten Cents 1863, KM6.1, PF64 PCGS. Plain edge, therefore it is a Pattern NOT intended for circulation. The "pattern" is not noted on the holder, but the date has the 6 punched over a 3. This has also been noted on a few circulation pieces. Heavy blue toning is seen, but the frost is still very strong and attractive. Coin die axis. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $1,840.00. |
| 51989 | Victoria Proof Ten Cents 1894, KM6.3, PF65 PCGS. As with the Proof 1893 Five Cent in this sale, the care in the production of this coin was minimal. The strength of the strike and the detail is very good, but the surfaces are more a matte finish than frosted or mirror, but when compared with other Hong Kong Proofs of this era, it fits right in. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $1,840.00. |
| 51990 | Victoria Proof Twenty Cents 1866, KM7, PF63 PCGS, reeded edge, coin die axis. Dark blue tone can be seen with hints of rose, especially on the reverse. There is a new, but light scratch, on Victoria's neck. The 1866 Proof coinage seems to be the best of the Royal Mint issue for Hong Kong. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $2,760.00. |
| 51991 | Victoria Specimen Twenty Cents 1875H, KM7, Specimen 64 PCGS. There is a consistent gray tone over the surface of this coin that hides some of the mirror surface. The Heaton Mint seems to have had 2 separate strikings for this date, making a distinctive difference in the quality. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $2,990.00. |
| 51992 | Victoria Twenty Cents 1876H, KM7, MS63 NGC. The gray tone hides a somewhat dull surface. Long-time collectors will know that, even though this date is the highest mintage of the decade, it is harder to find than the 1872 or 1874. We have the Heaton Mint to thank for that. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $862.50. |
| 51993 | Victoria Twenty Cents 1887, KM7, frosty AU with some reverse PVC. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $195.50. |
| 51994 | Victoria "Proof" Twenty Cents 1890, KM7, PF64 PCGS, typical late 19th century "Proof" of Hong Kong. Please see our comments on the 1893 Five Cents in this sale. This has a somewhat splotchy tone, but the mirror surfaces are strong and not seen on the circulation coins of this era. Some of the edges of the letters are weak, but this too is matched with the British Museum Freemantle "Proofs". The Remick example was also weak in the letters, yet it sold for £1,800 plus the buyer's fees. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $3,220.00. |
| 51995 | Victoria 50 Cents 1867, KM8, AU50 NGC, lightly toned with mint frost still in the devices. It seems that we see at least ten 1866 50 Cents for every 1867. However, this catalogue doesn't really show the ten-to-one ratio, yet.Sold for: $2,990.00. |
| 51996 | Victoria 50 Cents 1890, KM9.1. The detail of the Queen's portrait is better than XF, but the coin has been rather harshly cleaned. However, the cleaning was not able to take away the semi-prooflike nature of the reverse. First year of the type with only 50,000 minted. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $488.75. |
| 51997 | Victoria 50 Cents 1890, KM9.1, AU cleaned. As with the previous lot, this coin has been cleaned, but not quite as harshly. The reverse is also semi-proof-like, and if this coin was to allowed to tone naturally over the next few years, it should be a very attractive coin. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $1,150.00. |
| 51998 | Victoria 50 Cents 1891H, KM9.2, AU58 NGC, two year type with a total mintage of 90,000 for the type. This is a frosty original coin and really quite superb for the issue. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $920.00. |
| 51999 | Victoria One Dollar 1866, KM10, AU58 NGC. A white, frosty original example of a coin that usually comes in VF-XF at best. A couple of small reverse spots are seen at the edge, but this remains quite a splendid example of an 'AU' coin. The date has been strongly repunched as a point of interest. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $1,610.00. |
| 52000 | Victoria One Dollar 1866, KM10, MS63 NGC. A very flashy white coin with a virtually mark-free reverse. Another beautiful coin from this collection. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $29,900.00. |
| 52001 | Victoria One Dollar 1866, KM10, MS63 NGC. Not quite as 'flashy' as the previous Dollar, but the light tone is very appealing. We can't remember the last time that this many nice Hong Kong Dollars have been together in the same auction. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $14,950.00. |
| 52002 | Victoria "Proof" One Dollar 1866, KM10, reeded edge. There is still a great deal we don't know about Specimens, Proofs, and Patterns, like when and why they were struck, but from our observations we think...The Plain Edge 1866 "Pattern" Dollar was struck early in the year and since it was a new coin, great care was put into its production. It seems that throughout the year the odd piece had to be struck for a VIP or some sort of Presentation purpose. Whatever die that was on hand could be polished, and a fresh, polished planchet could be put in the die, struck, and then presented. This Dollar doesn't have much of the frosted design of the plain edge pieces, but it is VERY obvious that these pieces were specially struck for an important purpose. Also, it should be noted that there is a bit of die rust on the reverse that would imply that the coin was struck a little later in the die's life and that the polishing wasn't completely effective in ridding the coin of any imperfections. The reverse also has a more frosted look than the obverse. This is a Choice coin with the blue edge patina that is very consistent with what the British call "cabinet toning". One small mark is evident at the back of Victoria's bust. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $8,625.00. |
| 52003 | Victoria One Dollar 1867/6, KM-10. '7' of date punched over '6'. Lightly toned XF+/Choice AU a few obverse bagmarks but the reverse is very nice with a strong overdate. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $2,300.00. |
| 52004 | Victoria One Dollar 1867, KM10, XF/AU, a few edge bumps and moderately toned. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $546.25. |
| 52005 | Victoria One Dollar 1867, KM10, AU55 NGC. This Dollar has a moderately gray tone with a bit of blue on the reverse. A small obverse edge cut is seen, but the coin remains original and pleasing. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $805.00. |
| 52006 | Victoria One Dollar 1867, KM-10, AU58 NGC, lightly toned and original. There are some bagmarks that always seem to be on these coins, but the reverse has full, untouched frost. As a point of interest, all the 1867 Dollars in this sale, apart from the overdate, have a small 'knob' at the top right of the '6' in the date. It looks like the back of a '7', but there are no other hints of this number. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $1,380.00. |
| 52007 | Victoria One Dollar 1867, KM10, MS61 NGC, with the typical bagmarks of a Hong Kong Dollar on the obverse. The reverse is white and very Choice. It is quite amazing how different the obverse and reverse are on these Dollars. The reverse design was very effective in protecting these large silver coins from bagmarks. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $3,450.00. |
| 52008 | Victoria One Dollar 1867, KM10, MS62 NGC, flashy and white. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $5,462.50. |
| 52009 | Victoria One Dollar 1867, KM10, MS62 NGC. It is quite remarkable to have three Mint State 1867 Hong Kong Dollars in the same sale. This Dollar is flashy and white as above, but a small reverse edge knock is evident. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $4,887.50. |
| 52010 | Victoria One Dollar 1868, KM10, AU55 NGC. A minor flaw on the Queen's cheek is seen, but the reverse almost has full frost. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $1,265.00. |
| 52011 | Edward VII One Cent 1904H Quintet, KM-11. All five coins are Choice BU Only a single piece has a spot of corrosion above the kings' crown.Sold for: $345.00. |

| 52016 | Leopold the Hogmouth gold Ducat 1661-KB, KM151, MS63 NGC, a choice example with full glowing mint brilliance and sharply defined design features. Far superior to most seen in the market.Sold for: $1,955.00. |

India |
|
| 52020 | Independent Kingdoms. Assam gold 1 1/2 Mohur SE1691, note KM173 for 1 1/2 Rupee, UNLISTED in gold, 17.03 gms, therefore 1 1/2 Mohurs--Mohurs of that era weighed 10.7-11.4 gms, 1/3 of an ounce of gold. This was struck during the first year of Lakshmi Simha's (Hindu name) reign, dated SE1691 (A.D. 1769). This and the 1 1/2 Rupee are the only coins of Assam with this date. The Mohurs and Rupees were usually struck with the same dies, and we imagine that was the case with this series. This does not have the Ahom name that these rulers would employ, unlike Lakshmi Simha, who, for the next year, added his Ahom name of Sunyeopha. It is very unusual to have these two odd denominations for any of the India coins, but with a little study of the Nazarana pieces (struck at various mints), it is not illogical to believe that something like this could have been struck, especially in the first part of a ruler's reign. These could have been struck to gain favor with important officials that the new ruler would be dealing with, or as presentation pieces to show the 'wealth' of the new ruler, or even as a form of memento before the addition of the Ahom name. There are any number of reasons and one's imagination can add to this. Obviously, we have not found any record of the existence of this coin, but it has the look, feel, weight, and the presence(when viewed in person of course) of a legitimate issue. The coin does not have any wear to speak of, just the patina of age that has dulled the surfaces somewhat. Another relic of the past that is coming to light almost 240 years after its striking.Not Sold. |
| 52021 | Princely States. Baroda gold Mohur VS 1959, Y-39, AD 1902, MS65 NGC. This series usually comes with heavy flan flaws from improper annealing of the metal, so to find anything even approaching this grade is most unusual. There are a few very small edge cracks that are barely discernable, but the fields, color, and strength of strike is quite superb.Not Sold. |
| 52022 | Bengal Presidency gold Mohur AH1202, KM103.1, frosty AU with a slight sign of an edge repair at 4 o'clock when viewed from the side. Pridmore 62, Calcutta Mint, struck from 1793-c.1825, edge grained right.Sold for: $690.00. |
| 52023 | Bengal Presidency gold Mohur AH1202, KM-103.1, MS64 PCGS, Pridmore 62, Calcutta mint, edge grained right. This is the most common coin of any of the Presidency series, but it very rarely comes in this condition.Sold for: $1,092.50. |
| 52024 | William IV Proof Rupee 1835, KM-450.2, PF65 PCGS. This Rupee is moderately toned with the typical medal die axis of this 'F' raised series, and was struck at the Calcutta mint. Original Proof or mid 19th century 'restrike'. There is a bit of die rust on William's bust that 'hints' of a slightly later striking, but we note that in the recent London sale, where some of the best British Indian coins came on the market for the first time in decades, that there is no mention of die rust except on two 1834 Original Pattern Rupees currently housed in the British Museum. This piece is even more interesting in that it is obviously double struck, which is especially discernable on the reverse where the two strikings are only 1 mm apart. A point was noted in the London sale that the rarity of the very early restrikes and the original proofs is much the same, and these should be valued accordingly. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $2,185.00. |
| 52025 | Victoria-George V Rupee 15 piece lot. Victoria (7) Rupees: 1878B; 1890B; 1893B; 1900C; 1900B; 1901C and 1901B. Edward (6) Rupees: 1904C; 1904B; 1905B; 1906C; 1906B; and a 1907C. George V (2) Rupees: 1911B and 1912B. The coin grade AU-UNC.Sold for: $431.25. |
| 52026 | George V Proof Restrike Rupee 1911C, KM523, Prooflike 62 NGC Restrike, struck with the 1912-1922 dies. Nicely toned with the typical blue color of the Bombay mint restrike envelopes. The grading services seem to harshly grade the die polishing lines that are a part of the restrike series. This is a Choice coin to any collector of the British Indian coins.Sold for: $460.00. |
| 52027 | George V Proof Restrike gold 10 Rupees 1870, KM-479, Prooflike 64 CAMEO NGC, Proof Restrike, 'Mature' bust. Lightly lacquered to protect the gold coins sent out from the Bombay mint during their 'restrike' phase. Some of the marks that NGC used to grade the coin a '64' might just be in the lacquer.Sold for: $2,990.00. |
| 52028 | George V Proof Restrike gold 15 Rupees 1918, KM-525, PF63 PCGS, 'Yellow' gold. The gold used in the restrikes was suppose to come from the customer who ordered these coins, and then the Bombay mint would charge a striking fee. This led to a color variation between the coins, mostly on the 15 Rupees--some coins come out in yellow-gold and others had more of an orange color. Struck to the exact weight of a Sovereign.Sold for: $2,760.00. |
| 52029 | Madras Presidency. Pair of gold Pagodas, Friedberg 1575, ND but struck circa 1740-1807, three half figures standing, bold XF and well-centered, and Friedberg 1578, ND but same era, single half standing figure with the star reverse, nice VF-XF.Sold for: $230.00. |
| 52030 | William IV Proof Restrike gold Mohur 1835, KM451.1, Prooflike 64 NGC Restrike, no initial on truncation. Very appealing yellow-gold restrike with nicely frosted devices.Sold for: $4,887.50. |
| 52031 | Victoria gold Mohur 1862, KM480, MS62 NGC, Pridmore 6, with 'V' on bust and two flowers in bottom panel. Below Victoria's portrait, the outline of the fuller bodice is very strong--just as if the die wasn't properly polished leaving part of the earlier design intact. It is only below the bodice though, and is not seen at all in the dress' panel. There is still a great deal to be learned about the British India series of coins, including how difficult it is to find a Mint State Mohur.Sold for: $1,955.00. |
| 52032 | Victoria gold Proof Restrike Mohur 1862, KM-A481, Prooflike 64 CAMEO NGC, Mule. The obverse is the Proof-only 'Mature' bust and is really only available on the restrikes. The obverse is a beautiful cameo that just stands out in all its three-dimensional glory. There is not much cameo to the reverse, which suggests that this is a slightly used die. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $2,415.00. |
| 52033 | Victoria gold Proof Restrike Mohur 1870, KM-481, 'Mature' bust, Proof Restrike. There are quite a few handling marks on this coin, and there is no cameo indicating a late restrike. It is a shame that this wasn't taken care of better so that future collectors could enjoy its aesthetics. Despite that, we can still enjoy it for its rarity.Sold for: $2,070.00. |
| 52034 | Victoria gold Proof Restrike Mohur 1879, KM-479, Young bust, Proof Restrike. There are some mishandling marks, but technically it is still a few points better than the 1870 Mohur in this sale. The obverse has a fair bit of frost remaining, but there is no frost on the reverse.Sold for: $1,725.00. |

| 52036 | British Administration 2 Oboli 1819, KM-33,Choice AU-UNC, well struck with a slight reverse edge bump, coin die axis, one year type. One of the most beautiful representations of the seated Britannia and technically, it wasn't even an English coin!Sold for: $1,265.00. |
| 52037 | British Administration 2 Oboli 1819, KM-33, PF63 BN, coin die axis. The glossy purple fields of this coin give it more of a three-dimensional look than you would normally see on a copper coin. We note slight differences in the die from the other piece in this sale. Such differences as the first berry above Britannia's hand is on top of the vine, while the other piece has it below the vine. It is probably just a result of repunching of dies, but it might be interesting to keep track of this.Sold for: $4,600.00. |

| 52043 | Nasir al-Din Specimen 5000 Dinars 1297AH (1879), KM914, superb prooflike UNC with a matte cameo finish on the lion and obverse wreath and sparkling reverse surfaces. The entire coin is blanketed in old-time cabinet patina with the reverse being especially iridescent. The SCWC lists this plain edge type as a pattern, but the business strikes of this series are also plain edge. Ex: Hans Schulman Summer Auction 1957 with the original tag (where it is noted as a pattern.) Very rare and desirable in this quality.Sold for: $4,025.00. |
| 52044 | Ahmad Shah gold 5000 Dinars Quartet, KM1071, Friedberg 85, four pieces featuring: 1337AH XF, 1337AH with collar added AU, 1339AH XF and 1343AH VF. Sold as is, no return lot.Sold for: $402.50. |

Ireland |
|
| 52053 | George III Penny 1805, KM-148.1, MS64 BN PCGS, a pleasing chocolate brown color. There is some die rust on the King's cheek, which is characteristic of the Soho mint this late in its career.Sold for: $253.00. |

| 52055 | George III Proof 6 Shillings 1804, KM-Tn1, S-6615, top leaf points to center of "E" in "DEI", Proof struck on a fresh planchet with a plain edge. It has a 'dusty' gray tone with a minimum of hairlines. The fields have a strong mirror surface, but there is little in the way of a frosted bust which is not unusual for this series. It seems that these were struck at different times because minor variations are seen in the surface, plus, the amount of mint frost on the design varies as well (beside the obvious Pieforts and off metal strikes). The last Crown struck for Ireland.Sold for: $2,300.00. |
| 52056 | Trinity College gold Medal c.1850, Similar obverse to Eimer 64, but here the bust of Elizabeth is half turned left. The 'finery' of Elizabeth's dress is not quite as elaborate as the Eimer piece, but this die was executed by William Wyon (W.W. to left of the Queen's bodice)--there is more of a 'quiet' and 'regal' effect on the die that is extremely appealing. The obverse inscription is the same, COLL. SS. ET. INDIVID. TRIN. REG. ELIZABETHAE. JUXTA. DUBL.1591. The reverse, with the large heraldic shield, is inscribed "ETHICS ET LOGICIS FELICITER EXCULTIS." and is hand engraved on the bottom reviling the recipient of the medal--Thomas Henricus Carson. These were struck c. 1850 and awarded for several subjects including politics & literature, ethics & logic (as this piece), natural science, history et al. In each case, a separate die was used, which, for a medal containing 60.2 grams of gold, was a wonderful testament to the esteem that the recipient's garnished for their efforts. Some handling marks are evident.Sold for: $4,312.50. |

Malay Penninsula |
|
| 52186 | Penang. British Administration 1/10 Dollar 1788, KM5.2, Pridmore 3, XF, slight edge flaw (as struck), medal die axis. On the Obverse, the balemark of the E.I.C. appears with the date divided by a six-pointed star 17*88. It was struck at the Calcutta mint, Bengal. The Balemark of the East Indies Company is a heart-shaped shield divided into four compartments containing the letters V(nited) E(ast) I(ndia) C(ompany) above a large 4. This particular form was devised after the merger of the old and new companies in 1708.Sold for: $632.50. |
| 52187 | Penang. British Administration Half Dollar 1788, KM7, Pridmore 1, AU, star between date, medal die axis. Pridmore's example was 90 degrees. There is a light gray patina to this piece with only a bit of wear, really a pleasant AU with a few, very small die cracks as made. The obverse is similar to the 1/10th dollar in this sale. The reverse inscription is a barbarous attempt to render the Island name in Arabic script according to its phonetic sound in English. All the coins of Penang are curious in that in no case has a value stated. Pridmore's example was particularly pleasing and it sold for £2,800 in 1982. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $3,737.50. |
| 52188 | Penang. British Administration Tin Pice c.1805, KM9, Pridmore 22, G.F. in script within a plain circle. Countermarked with the Chinese character Ch'i, which means paid in advance, or advance payment. The reverse side is blank. According to Pridmore, these were locally cast at Penang. The initials are interpreted to mean 'G'overnor 'F'arquhar. This tin coinage was introduced into circulation in 1805. The Chinese countermarks are those of the Treasury or Bazaar Shroff, and were intended as a guarantee for the correctness of the quality and weight. There is very little, if actually any, wear on this piece, but the planchet is slightly bent. The Pridmore example, in similar grade, sold in 1982 for £2,300 and we note that a well circulated example sold for £1,300 in an English auction a few years back. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $2,875.00. |

Mauritius |
|
| 52191 | French Coinage Copper Piefort 25 Sous, KM-PN1, AU58 Brown NGC, double thickness in copper. Struck under the auspices of the British with French legends. This also has the same environmental damage as the Singapore/Mauritius mule in this sale, and they have obviously stayed together for some time. The heat and humidity of Mauritius or Singapore would not be a friendly environment to any coin. Pridmore's example was sold to Dick Ford in 1982, and then in 1991, it went to a collection in the U.S. This is the only other piece we have been able to track.Sold for: $4,312.50. |
| 52192 | Mauritius/Singapore Piefort Mule in Copper 1824, Pridmore 2. This has the corrosion and environmental damage that the Mauritius Piefort 25 Sous has. It also has the die break through the date that the Pridmore example had. The obverse is the SINGAPORE side; within a circle the crest of the arms of the E.I.C. The motto AUSPICIO REGIS ET SENATUS ANGLIAE 1824 is struck around and outside the circle. The reverse is the MAURITIUS side. In the center circle "pour 50 Sous" is seen. Around and within another circle "RECU AU. BUR: DU TRES:" is struck. An angular border separates the outer circle and the rim. Pridmore calls this a die trial on a copper flan. The reverse is a pattern prepared in the Calcutta Mint from a design suggested by John Crawford, the Resident of Singapore for a proposed 1/3 Cent to be used in Singapore. In 1924, restrikes from the original dies were struck at Calcutta: one in gold, two in silver, and four in copper. It would make sense that this is one of these restrikes because of the die break through located in the date. However, Pridmore's example of the Singapore pattern 1/3 Cent, Pr-1, was described as an original issue and it ALSO had the die break. We therefore cannot be sure when this was actually struck, 1824 or 1924. We CAN be sure of the rarity of this coin and we are very happy to offer this in our sale.Sold for: $9,775.00. |
| 52193 | Victoria Pattern One Cent 1877, KM7, PF65 BN NGC. Again there is the question, is this a Proof or is it a Pattern? A Proof can be a Pattern, but a Pattern doesn't necessarily have to be a Proof. Some catalogues say that the non H mm 1877 coins are struck at the Royal Mint before the dies were sent to the Heaton mint for the H to be added. Others suggest that these were all struck at the Heaton mint and that the H was added after a few pieces were struck. Acknowledging die differences and die axes will help decide where these were struck. This has the coinage die axis with a small die flaw in the center of the number 1 in the denomination. There is also a light die break around most of the reverse letters, which in itself is quite telling. The fields are a superb Prooflike with a deep mahogany color.Sold for: $1,782.50. |
| 52194 | Victoria Proof Five Cents 1878, KM9, PF65 BN NGC. There is a good deal of mint red on the reverse, while the obverse has touches of red. This is a beautiful Proof coin, and it is believed that the mintage would have been less than 20 pieces. Quite a bargain when compared to some other series.Sold for: $1,840.00. |

From the Besalú Collection.Sold for: $3,220.00. |
| 52200 | Carlos & Johanna 4 Reales Assayer G ND (1516-56), Cayon 3102, XF details, lightly porous but with full legends on both sides.

| 52207 | Felipe III cob 8 Reales 1608A-Mo, KM44.3, crude F-VF, some light surface patination, bold mintmark and assayer.

This piece is fully round and unholed with every detail sharp and the legends perfect. If one were to imagine a nearly perfect example of this type Royal, this may be the piece that comes to mind.

| 52215 | Felipe V Pillar 8 Reales 1732Mo-F, KM103, Cayon 9349, Calico 692, Choice AU. 1732 was a very important year in history and in numismatics for Spanish colonial America. Felipe V, the first king of the Spanish-Bourbon dynasty (which still reigns today), was actually twice in power. The first period was from 1700 to 1724, when he abdicated in favor of his oldest son Louis I. His untimely death in 1724 brought Felipe back to the Spanish throne, where he remained until his death in 1746. It was in 1732, during Felipe V second reign, that the gold coinage of Mexico was changed from the cob to the portrait or bust type. Silver coinage also changed from the cob to the pillar or columnar type. On March 29, 1732, the striking of circular coins authorized by the royal decree of 1728, began at the Mexico City Mint and the first "Pillar" was struck. On the obverse, the design included the crowned pillar of Hercules and between them two globes surmounted by a crown, resting above a wavy ocean which points to the separation of the two worlds. Around the edges "Utraque Unum" (Both are One). On the reverse are the crowned coat of arms of Castile and Leon with the Bourbon shield superimposed. The legend reads Philip.V.D.G.Hispan.Et.Ind.Rex, the value "8" as well as the Assayer's initial "F", are both located between rosettes. Striking of the Pillar 8 Reales was later extended to several Spanish colonies and circulated widely throughout the Americas being legal tender in the United States during several decades of the 18th century. The Pillar 8 Reales remains one of the most popular and beloved coins amongst collectors today. The specimen presented here is one of the greatest and rarest Pillar 8 Reales that exists. In near Mint State condition, this coin has beautiful and colorful toning with streaks of blue emanating from the pillar and over the date, and it will undoubtedly become a showcase piece for the most advanced collection.

| 52237 | Ferdinand VI gold 8 Escudos 1747Mo-MF, KM148, Calico 596. As the fourth son of Felipe V, Ferdinand VI married Maria Barbara de Braganza, daughter of Joao V, King of Portugal and became King of Spain after his father's second reign in 1746 and remained in power until his death in 1759. Apparently, no gold 8 Escudos were coined in Spain, so the Iberian Peninsula was supplied with coins of this type by the American colonial mints, with the Mexico Mint being the main supplier. This first type was struck only in 1747 and features a larger armored bust of the King whose facial features are more crude than the subsequent types. The reverse is similar to those 8 Escudos of Felipe V. The specimen presented here is in Choice AU condition with a softer strike on the obverse, mainly on the lower hair and in very near mint state on the reverse with nice toning on the legend. An extremely rare coin that will certainly appeal to the most advanced collector. From the Besalú Collection.Sold for: $32,200.00. |

| 52287 | Ferdinand VII gold 8 Escudos 1813Ga-MR, KM162, Calico 1202. Son of Charles IV, Ferdinand ascended to power in 1808 during the Napoleonic occupations. Two years earlier, after the passing of his first wife Marie Antoniette of Naples, Ferdinand VII wrote a letter to Napoleon asking for one of his nieces in marriage. The letter was discovered and infuriated his father, King Charles IV, who had his son arrested. The invasion by Napoleon of the Iberian Peninsula created such a popular fury that Charles was compelled to abdicate in favor of his jailed son Ferdinand. During the five years that followed, and after rounds of negotiations and threats, Ferdinand signed the kingdom over to Napoleon. In 1814, Ferdinand returned to Madrid to finish a disastrous reign when Spain lost most of its American colonies. At the time of his ascension to the throne, there was only one mint in Spanish America, that of Mexico City, but with the start of the revolutionary movements of 1810, several provisional mints were established, including one in Nueva Galicia's capital city of Guadalajara. Opened in 1811, this mint seldom struck gold coins and as a result all of them are of great numismatic value. The specimen presented here is an extreme Mexican rarity. In Choice AU condition, with hints of dark orange and red toning, this coin and its unusual bust of King Ferdinand VI, will certainly be an outstanding addition to any collection.

This is a brilliant Prooflike example with a wire rim that probably was one of the pieces that first came to 'light' some 30 years ago. However, there is one group that is slightly better than this example, and those are the pieces we should call "Specimen" strikes whereas these are "Prooflike".Sold for: $488.75. |

| 52450 | Carlos II gold 8 Escudos 1699-R, KM26.1, Calico 112, MS64 NGC. Carlos II was the last Spanish King of the Hapsburg Dynasty. Due to his young age when rising to the throne at the age of four, Spain was ruled by the King's mother and her friends for years. Not able to produce an heir with either of his two wives, Carlos named a French prince to succeed him. Late in 1700, Carlos passed away at the age of 39, leaving the kingdom much impoverished. In Lima, mintage of gold coins began in 1696. The specimen presented here is dated 1699 bearing P.V.A. It is an absolutely amazing coin. The field details are bold and sharp and "jumping out" of the coin. The color is bright and original mint luster is still present (!). There is a small planchet crack from striking at four o'clock.

| 52617 | Peter I (The Great) Rouble 1721, Bust right/Imperial eagle, Diakov-7 var., UZD 598, AU58 NGC. Sharply struck with light reverse flan flaws. The finest example of this date we have seen. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $17,250.00. |
| 52618 | Peter I (The Great) Rouble 1723 OK, Bust right/Four crowned Russian P's in the form of a cross, Diakov-49, Uzd 610, MS62 NGC. Superbly struck with near-flawless surfaces, mottled gray patina and considerable underlying luster. The finest Peter the Great Rouble that we have seen and a stunning example of early Russian numismatic art. Peter the Great was born in Moscow in 1672 and died in 1725. Although he was tsar only from 1682-1725, he is credited with beginning the Westernization of Russia and starting it on the road to becoming an international power. There was much turmoil during his reign and Peter could be quite brutal at times, even his half-sister Sofia and wife Eudoxia were forced to become nuns when they conspired against him.Sold for: $63,250.00. |
| 52619 | Peter I (The Great) gold 2 Roubles 1722, Bust right/St. Andrew, Diakov-6, UZD 35, AU58 NGC. Fully lustrous and well struck with just a slight bit of rubbing on the highpoints.

He fought major campaigns against Sweden, which he won, and against the Ottoman Empire, which he was fortunate to survive. During his reign he moved the capital from Moscow to St. Petersburg and was responsible for many important improvements. Unfortunately, he left no heir, as his only son, Alexis, died in prison in 1718, for treason against his father. Sold for: $37,375.00. |

Nice examples of this type are quite scarce and Mint State pieces are almost impossible to find. Anna Ivanovna was born in 1693 and died in 1740. She was the daughter of Peter the Great's half-brother and was living in Courland (Latvia) at Peter's death. As the only surviving Romanov considered malleable by the Russian Supreme Council, Anna was appointed Empress. They soon found that she was anything but malleable. She continued many of the policies of Peter the Great and ruled with an iron fist until she died in 1740. Sold for: $19,550.00. |

Sarawak |
|
| 52839 | Token Coinage Copper Keping "1841", KM-Tn1. This token has the surfaces of an XF coin, but, due to the strike, it has the details of a VF coin. Entirely in line with the many Singapore merchant issues struck around this time. The obverse has a badger facing left; under it are the initials J.B. (James Brooke) and the date SEPt 24 1841. The badger, or brock, is derived from the crest of the Brooke arms. The reverse one Keping 1241 (AD1831) in Arabic. These were not authorized until 1842 and were struck in Birmingham, England using an old reverse die from one of the Singapore merchants. As with many 'token' issues of the era, it would have been impossible to have a fixed value on this piece so its 'value' would fluctuate with the price of copper and the need for change. There is a flan flaw in the 4 of the date, and two minor reverse laminations. The Remick example, in similar condition, brought £4,200 plus the buyer's fees. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $5,462.50. |

A long time collector of the Sarawak series will know the rare date in this lot and knows that this doesn't agree with catalogue valuations. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $920.00. |
| 52841 | British Colony 5 Cent 1900H Duo, KM8, both XF. The first has a small edge knock. The other is a moderately toned original UNC, but a scratch can be seen in the hair. First date of the silver coinage for Sarawak, struck half a world away. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $143.75. |
| 52842 | British Colony 10 Cent Trio 1911-1915H, including: KM9, 1911H, frosty AU, but with a few new scratches on Brooke's face; a 1913H frosty AU-UNC; and a 1915H BU, with a few spots of verdigris on the obverse. As we have seen in previous auctions, the catalogue valuations don't mean much when the coins are in this grade. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $195.50. |
| 52843 | British Colony 20 Cents 1915H, KM10, Choice Frosty AU-UNC, very small reverse edge cut, with only 25,000 minted. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $460.00. |
| 52844 | British Colony 50 Cents 1900H, KM11, original tone AU. Only 40,000 were struck and the vast majority of these have been mounted. It was a sign of respect to wear the portrait of the 'white' Rajah in some form on your person, so to find an original piece is most unusual. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $517.50. |
| 52845 | British Colony 50 Cent 1927H Quartet, KM19, two grade Choice XF-AU, and the other two grade Choice AU-UNC. The coin of this issue was made up of 50% silver that usually leaves a very dull patina, but the two AU-UNC's are really choice for what one usually sees. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $862.50. |

| 52850 | Charles I 30 Shillings ND (1625-49), Spink 5557, XF details, dark patina, repaired within the crown on the reverse and tooled in the fields, but not unattractive. Sold as is, no return lot.Sold for: $575.00. |

| 52855 | Singapore Proof Keping Token AH 1247, Pridmore 20A, as KM-8.1, Malacca, PF63 BN NGC. A choice mahogany color adorns this Keping with a touch of verdigris under the tail of the bird. It was struck at the Heaton Mint in Birmingham and introduced into circulation 1831-32. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $1,840.00. |
| 52856 | Singapore Proof Keping Token AH 1250, Pridmore 33A, PF64 RB NGC. Struck in Birmingham, England for Christopher Rideout Read, who's name, 'C.R.Read', is located under the rooster. This is the only token of this series to have an issuer's name on it. The reverse flower, aka 'flower of the cape', which grows on a very well known tree throughout the tropics, was the first of what came to be a very popular and extensively copied series of Keping tokens. The mint red is at the upper end of what is graded Red and Brown, and the reverse is almost a full red. Very scarce. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $2,300.00. |
| 52857 | Lion Gold Proof Set 2000, 5 piece gold set that also has the plated gold medallion with 1 ounce of silver.

South Africa |
|
| 52858 | Cape of Good Hope Pattern Penny 1889, KM-Pn1, PF63 BN NGC, Victoria Young Head, arms of the colony on reverse. This is the scarcer variety with the colon between BRITTANNIAR : REG, and is equidistant from each word. There is no flaw on the Queen's neck. Choice Proof.Sold for: $2,990.00. |
| 52859 | Cape of Good Hope Pattern Penny 1889, KM-Pn1, PF64 BN NGC, ex: Remick Collection. The colon is closer to BRITANNIAR than REG. This has a very pleasing cameo, which is unusual for a copper coin, but a few hairlines keep this out of the Gem category.Sold for: $2,530.00. |
| 52860 | Cape of Good Hope Pattern Penny 1889, KM-Pn1, PF66 RB, obverse same as the previous coin. The red is somewhat subdued, but this is a superb coin with deep mirror surfaces. As an observation, this coin, and the PF64 in this sale, have a small raised flaw at the front of the Queen's neck. The flaw was in the die, implying perhaps a later strike (and some die rust), or some damage was inflicted on the die. It is only noticeable with a good glass, but the 63 in this sale does not have this mark.Sold for: $4,600.00. |
| 52861 | Griquatown Farthing 1814-1816, KM-X-TN1, VF25 BN NGC, a dove flying with olive branch, the reverse displays 1/4 GRIQUA TOWN around. An attempt was made by missionaries to set up a settlement in South Africa. A small number of "patterns" were struck for their anticipated coinage needs, but since there was no "call in" at the end of its coinage, so very few have reached us today. They are usually found in XF to UNC, and to find one with this much honest wear is very interesting--was it just a pocket piece or did it actually find its way into circulation being used in the very new markets of South Africa? The design of the dove holding the olive branch is an unusual way to show that these people were coming in peace, as only at the time, would the Europeans understand its significance.Sold for: $2,875.00. |
| 52862 | Griquatown Pattern Penny 1890, KM-Pn5. PF58 BN NGC. Obverse Victoria young head as Cape of Good Hope. Reverse, 1890 and GRIQUA TOWN in small letters. There is a touch of old corrosion on the queen's cheek that has toned over but there is some mint red remaining on the reverse and a pleasing coin for the grade assigned.Sold for: $1,955.00. |
| 52863 | Griquatown Pattern Penny 1890, KM-Pn5, PF65 RB NGC. Similar to the previous lot, but quite a Superb grade. The small flaw on the Queen's neck is apparent on all the Griquatown pieces in this sale. Sold for: $2,990.00. |
| 52864 | Griquatown Pattern Penny (1890), KM-Pn6. PF63 BN NGC (called Pn5 on the holder) Victoria Young Head. Reverse with large letters GRIQUA TOWN, dove, N.D. not really "brown" but exhibiting about 20% sparkling mint red on the mirror surfaces, mottled appearance but quite appealing, sharp proof details and quite choice.Sold for: $2,760.00. |
| 52865 | Griquatown bronze Penny (1890), KM-Pn6, as above. PR63 RB NGC, in holder calling it a Pn5. Another excellent example of this rarity. A similar piece in one of our earlier sales realized $5,175 (lot 52336).Sold for: $2,990.00. |
| 52866 | Griquatown Pattern Penny (1890), KM-Pn6, PF65 RB NGC. Similar to the previous coin, with subdued red. Save for a few small marks behind the Queen's head, the coin is perfect.Sold for: $2,760.00. |
| 52867 | Orange Free State Pattern Penny 1874, KM-Pn1, PF63 BN. This is part of the series of coins struck in Germany for L.C. Lauer by Otto Nolte. In 1887, Lauer made an unsuccessful bid for a coinage contract for the Boer Orange Free State (which was founded after the Great Trek of 1836). These coins are a physical reminder of their quest for the coinage of this African state. Sold for: $2,530.00. |
| 52868 | Orange Free State Pattern Penny 1874, KM-Pn1, MS 65 BN, similar to the previous, but graded Mint State. They are really the same surfaces, and should be acknowledged as Patterns only. The color is a light brown with some red in the reverse devices.Sold for: $2,875.00. |
| 52869 | Orange Free State Pattern Penny 1888, KM-Pn6, PF63 BN NGC, Bronze (incorrectly called Pn9 on holder) by W. Lauer. This Penny bears the ornamental shield of arms within wreath and the motto on wreath below. Reverse laurel wreath enclosing "1 PENNY". Sold for: $2,186.00. |
| 52870 | Orange Free State Pattern Penny 1888, KM-Pn7, PF64 RB NGC, (incorrectly called KM-Pn9 on the holder). Since this pattern has the square shield in the center of the reverse, it is therefore the KM-Pn7 struck in bronze. The mint red is only a little subdued. This Penny is unusually nice for one of these patterns.Sold for: $2,185.00. |
| 52871 | Republic Bronze Pattern Penny 1890, KM-PnA22, Choice Proof, light golden brown surfaces.Sold for: $2,300.00. |
| 52872 | Republic Pattern Penny 1890, KM-PnA22, Bronze PF62 BN NGC, similar to the pattern listed above.Sold for: $2,530.00. |
| 52873 | Republic Pattern Penny 1890, KM-PnA22, PF66 RB NGC, bronze. A beautiful, mostly red Pattern.Sold for: $4,312.50. |
| 52874 | Republic Pattern Twopence 1874, KM-PnA5, PF63 RB NGC, struck in bronze. The mint red is very subdued on this piece, making it more a mahogany color.Sold for: $2,300.00. |
| 52875 | Republic Pattern Twopence 1874, KM-PnA5, SP64 RB PCGS, another proof, this one with orange-reddish brown surfaces.Sold for: $1,955.00. |
| 52876 | Republic Penny 1892, KM2, MS63 Brown NGC, superb glossy surfaces. First year of the Kruger issue.Not Sold. |
| 52877 | Republic Penny 1892, KM2, MS63 BN NGC. Some mint red is seen in the letters.Sold for: $632.50. |
| 52878 | Republic Penny 1892, KM2, MS63 BN NGC. This has a bit more of a mix of colors compared to the previous two pieces. There is a bit of mint red to go with a very glossy surface.Sold for: $575.00. |
| 52879 | Republic Penny 1894, KM2, MS63 BN NGC. The surfaces are a bit dull yet retain a glossy look. The detail in Kruger's hair is a little weak, but this date is much rarer than the 1892 in nice grade.Sold for: $920.00. |
| 52880 | Republic Threepence 1892, KM3, Prooflike AU with hairlines and some surface scuffs. A light silvery color adorns this Threepence.Sold for: $115.00. |
| 52881 | Republic Poof Threepence 1892, KM3, PF63 CAMEO NGC. Krause has a mintage of 35-40 pieces for these Proofs. Most have been abused over the years in all the miles they seem to have traveled. This has suffered a bit as a few marks are evident, but the frost is strong--especially on the reverse.Sold for: $9,775.00. |
| 52882 | Republic Threepence quartet 1897, KM3. All four coins are white and graded AU 58 by NGC. Sold for: $253.00. |
| 52883 | Republic gold Threepence 1898, KM-PnA23, Almost XF with a number of handling marks, inc. a small rev. edge test cut. Krause has a mintage of 215 pieces struck for mining magnate Sammy Marks. This date was not struck in silver. The only Z.A.R. dated coins struck in 1898 were the Sovereigns and these gold Threepence pieces. We have noticed a number of 'restrikes' offered in various sales. This has the smaller, neat date of the silver Threepence pieces. The second 8 of the date is the same size as the 9, which the restrikes don't have. These were obviously not struck to be used, but to be given out at Mr. Marks' pleasure, so to find one that has probably spent some time in someone's "pocket" is not unusual. Only a small fraction of the original mintage seems to exist today.Sold for: $14,950.00. |
| 52884 | Republic Sixpence 1892, KM4, AU58 NGC. A brilliant example of this first year of issue.Sold for: $1,725.00. |

| 52887 | Republic Sixpence 1894, KM4, MS63 NGC. Very lightly toned with Flashy luster. Really superb for any Sixpence of Z.A.R., plus it is one of the rarest dates!Sold for: $3,450.00. |
| 52888 | Republic Sixpence 1897, KM4, MS63 NGC.Sold for: $575.00. |

| 52891 | Republic Shilling 1894, KM5, AU55 PCGS. Quite a bit of frost remains, but it is still a bit 'baggy'.Sold for: $1,092.50. |
| 52892 | Republic Shilling Duo 1897, KM5, NGC graded MS60 and MS61.Sold for: $299.00. |

| 52897 | Republic 2 1/2 Shillings 1894, KM7, AU50 NGC. There is frost still seen in the letters, but a few marks can also be seen in front of Kruger's face.Sold for: $862.50. |
| 52898 | Republic 2 1/2 Shillings 1894, KM7, AU58 NGC. Quite frosty with a touch of edge tone.Sold for: $1,150.00. |
| 52899 | Republic 2 1/2 Shillings 1895, KM7, AU50 NGC. Another frosty example of a coin that usually comes in VG.Sold for: $1,150.00. |
| 52900 | Republic 2 1/2 Shilling 1895-1896 Trio. KM7, all NGC graded, including an 1895 VF25 and (2) 1896 XF45.Sold for: $184.00. |
| 52901 | Republic 2 1/2 Shillings 1896, KM7, frosty AU. The nicest of the AU's in this sale.Sold for: $115.00. |
| 52902 | Republic 2 1/2 Shillings 1897, KM7, MS61 NGC. Well struck and frosty with just the typical light bagmarks that one should expect on a '61' coin.Sold for: $345.00. |
| 52903 | Republic 2 1/2 Shillings 1897, KM7, MS63 NGC. While this is the most common date of the series, it rarely comes better than AU. This is really a nice, original coin.Sold for: $920.00. |

| 52907 | Republic Five Shillings Single Shaft 1892, KM8.1, AU53 NGC, pleasant original tone, one of only 14,000 struck. One can imagine the early 20th century traveler doing their 'grand tour' through Africa and proudly bringing one of these back 'home'.Sold for: $1,495.00. |
| 52908 | Republic Five Shilling Single Shaft 1892, KM8.2, AU55 NGC, toned.Sold for: $1,840.00. |

Unfortunately, the estimate in the catalog is incorrect.Sold for: $2,300.00. |
| 52914 | Republic 1894-97 Sextuplet including: a KM2, Penny 1894, glossy AU, and (3) Penny 1898, glossy XF-AU; a KM6, Two Shillings 1897, Choice lightly toned AU-UNC; and a KM7, 2 1/2 Shillings 1897, lightly hairlined AU+, with 3 small digs behind Kruger's head.Sold for: $299.00. |

| 52916 | Republic gold 1/2 Pond 1893, KM9.2, VF20 NGC, small cut below Kruger's bust. One of the rarest coins of the South African Republic. The mintage is specifically unknown, but for the 1892 and 1893 together, there was a total of 10,150 struck. The vast majority of these were dated 1892. A similar example, graded Good Fine, in a November 2006 Spink sale sold for $5,600 USD. A recent price guide printed out of South Africa also has this 1/2 Pond priced at more than $5,500 in Fine. Sold for: $10,350.00. |

| 52919 | Republic gold 1/2 Pond 1896, KM9.2, Choice frosty XF-AU. This is one of those South African coins where the jump in grade makes a dramatic change in the rarity. As the previous lot of four pieces imply, VF's are not that difficult to find, but to find anything better than XF is extremely difficult. The recent S.A. catalogue has XF priced more than $1,000 USD!Sold for: $345.00. |
| 52920 | Republic gold Pond 1892, KM10, VF, one double shaft, mount removed at 12 o'clock. The mount was only in the reeding and is not as bad as most. Due to the number of Ponds that we have seen that are ex-mount, it must have been a fashionable 'statement' to have these on your person.Sold for: $184.00. |
| 52921 | Republic gold Pond 1892, KM10.1, double shaft, VF-XF, but quite baggy...at least it hasn't been mounted.Not Sold. |
| 52922 | Republic gold Pond 1894, KM10.2, the actual grade is better than VF, but there are numerous hairlines from an old cleaning.Sold for: $299.00. |
| 52923 | Republic gold Pond 1895, KM10.2, XF45 PCGS. The detail in Kruger's hair is very weak, but since there is still a bit of frost in the letters, this Pond has received this grade.Sold for: $1,495.00. |
| 52924 | Republic gold Pond 1897, KM10.1, better than VF, but reverse E.K.Sold for: $207.00. |

| 52934 | Republic gold Pond 1900, KM10.2, AU58 NGC.Sold for: $805.00. |
| 52935 | Republic gold Kaal Pond blanc (1900), in NGC slab certifying it as "Kaalpond with Rim" but no grade, and looks about as made. Rare. Supposedly, during the turmoil of the late 19th century, a number of blanks for the various denominations were on hand but with no means to strike them with the appropriate die. A few blanks 'slipped' into circulation to fulfill the need for currency at the time but only a few have 'slipped' into the 21st century. While the gold is Rare, the other denominations are even rarer.Not Sold. |
| 52936 | George V Florin 1925, KM18, XF45 NGC, mintage of 50,146 pieces. This is the rarest date of the whole Florin series. The new South African price guide has VF's priced at over $1,200 U.S.Sold for: $1,495.00. |
| 52937 | George V 1923 Proof Set, KM-PS2, with original box stamped "ROYAL MINT PRETORIA FIRST COINAGE-1923". Not only does this set have its original box, but the string is intact that was used to keep the box closed! Usually, all that is left is a remnant of this early 'packaging'. The string adds greatly to this lot's charm. The coins are Choice with a subdued gray tone, while the copper have their typical bronzed finish.Sold for: $1,955.00. |
| 52938 | George V 1923 Proof Set, KM-PS2, without the box. The silver is heavily toned and the copper is bronzed as issued. Under the tone the coins are Choice, and recent sales show that these sets bring more than $2,000. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $1,495.00. |

| 52989 | Victoria 20 Cents 1872H, KM12, almost XF. Total mintage of 40,000 pieces. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $276.00. |

| 52991 | Victoria Eight-piece 50 Cents lot 1886-1901, KM13. The 1891 and 1899 are VF, while the other six coins 1887, (2) 1888, 1890H, 1894, and 1901 are a minimum of Fine with the reverses better. This is a common characteristic of the design of the Straits Settlements Fifty Cents and collectors should 'note' the mintages before they judge one of these too harshly. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $1,035.00. |
| 52992 | Edward VII Cent Quartet, KM19. Including: a 1903, Choice Red and Brown UNC; a 1906 XF; a 1907, Choice Red and Brown UNC, unusually nice for the date; a 1908, full obverse Red but subdued reverse Red, the 8 of the date is very weak and could be mistaken for a 3--very unusual. Quite a 'starter' set! From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $2,760.00. |
| 52993 | Edward VII 20 Cents 1902, KM22, Choice, attractively toned AU-UNC. The reverse has quite a spectacular color. The obverse has a peripheral green tone with just rubs (on the King's cheek) away from being a Mint State coin.Sold for: $322.00. |
| 52994 | Edward VII Proof Dollar 1904B, KM26, Milled Edge Proof 64 NGC, struck at the Bombay Mint. In 1902, the Royal Mint gave a 'new' finish to the Proof coins of Edward--the Matte finish, ostensibly to allow for better photography. It could also have been because collector's mentioned the problem with keeping a Mirror-finish Proof free of hairlines. The Matte finish did hide handling marks quite well, but it was not nearly as aesthetically pleasing as the Mirror finish. This desire for a Matte finish persisted throughout Edward's reign including the 1908 Canada Specimen sets. Not everyone was happy with the Matte finish. In contrast, some beautiful Mirror-finished coins were minted such as the Straits Settlements 1905B 50 Cents and the 1910 20 Cents, as well as some of the coins of the British India series. Pridmore had a 1903 Straits Settlements Dollar struck with mirror surfaces at the Royal Mint. This Dollar seems to have a mix of the characteristics we expect from the matte and mirror proofs. The edge is quite square and there is more of a mirror surface to the coin than one sees on the regular coinage, BUT there is no evidence of double striking and the high points are somewhat weak. When holding this Dollar at most angles, it appears mostly as a Matte Proof. There are a few handling marks but it has an original, even patina. There is evidence of die rust behind the King's head, so we wonder if this was struck near the end of the year as a somewhat hastily prepared presentation coin? The mix of Matte and Mirror makes for an interesting combination.Sold for: $10,350.00. |
| 52995 | George V Dollar 1919-1920 Quartet. KM33: (2) 1919 Frosty BU, and Choice Prooflike; and (2) 1920 Frosty BU, and Choice Prooflike. Krause valuations may have gotten ahead of themselves. From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.Sold for: $632.50. |
