Steve Roach reports on some of the incredible prices recently realized for “Non-CC GSA Hardpack Morgan Dollars.”
Stack’s Bowers Galleries will offer an example of the Proof 1975 “No S” Roosevelt Dime at auction in August. This is the rarest of the “No S” Proof Roosevelt Dimes, with just two pieces known to exist.
Highlights from the Stack’s Bowers U.S. coin auction to be held later this month for the Whitman Baltimore Expo.
A Chinese chef recently published the 575-page book Money of Ancient Judea and Israel following ten years of research.
And now for some notable auctions. First, an example of the 1918/7-D Buffalo Nickel graded ANACS F15. A long delay in detection of this overdate caused many examples to be lost to circulation.
Next, the 1922 Peace Dollar graded NGC MS 67. Although this is a common date, it becomes rare at this grade level.
Last, here are the current auctions from the seller of the rare GSA coins mentioned in one of today’s articles. The listings include another non-CC GSA Morgan Dollar and memorabilia from the GSA sale.
That wraps up another update. Have a great evening!
