Auction Preview: Numismatic Auctions LLC Auction Sale #69

Numismatic Auctions LLC’s Auction Sale #69 will take place online in a live/timed format from February 17 through February 20, 2025. The auction clocks in at over 1,700 lots, weighing over 5,000 pounds of coins and over 2,000 pounds of reference books.

Included are 1,200 lots of U.S. coins, currency, and exonumia, along with Canadian, world gold, world Crowns, minor coinage, and more. The sale highlights early U.S. copper coinage by type and in series. Available will be sets and singles from Colonials through Morgan & Peace dollars that feature key dates, some in multiples, early type coinage, proof type, errors, shipwreck coinage, proof sets, gold and silver classic to modern commemorative coinage, as well as paper money, tokens, medals, and more.

The U.S. section contains many complete, old-time album collections from cents to Morgan dollars. Some popular items, such as "Three Legged" buffalo nickels and 1916-D mercury dimes, are available in quantity, up to a dozen each, along with respective album collections of each series. All were gleaned from the till, originally at face value, by a Federal Reserve employee during the 1940s–1950s.

Among the other notable collections in the U.S. issues are over 400 gold coins, a rare NGC "Top Pop" 2 1/2-ounce gold numerology prophetic medal, and nearly 500 vintage silver proof sets, many of which remain sealed. Also included are mint canvas lead-sealed bags of coinage, plus a myriad of better modern gold, silver, and platinum proof and mint state eagle and buffalo sets and singles, including the keys.

Following a nice collector offering of large Canadian cents to silver dollars, gold, and tokens is an intriguing run of world gold from Alderney to Venezuela in a bevy of smaller denominations. The world Crowns and minor coinage contingent in the auction contains a vast and diverse selection from Alderney to Vatican City, highlighted by some rare and desirable Chinese coinage in gold, platinum, and silver, as well as Chinese currency, a nice regiment of English coinage from hammered silver to early coppers and Crowns, Queen's beasts, and kilo silver issues augmented by a lovely collection of NGC-certified Conder tokens.

Further into the global numismatic arena are nearly 150 early Mexican 8 reales from “Pillar” to “Cap and Rays” types, most being part of the fabulous Black Swan collection. Rounding out the sale is a diverse offering of nation-by-nation listings of foreign proof sets, mint sets, rolls, and singles from the West Bloomfield Hoard, including many date runs and large lots, miscellaneous back-of-the-book lots to the ends of the globe as well as numismatic literature box lots from the Money Tree collection of remainders, courtesy of noted retired bibliophile and rare literature auctioneer, Myron Xenos.
