SELECTIONS FROM DAVE WNUCK'S MID-NOVEMBER 2014 INVENTORY

1801 $10 Gold. PCGS AU58.

This is exactly the “look” of an early gold coin that one would want. Just a hair's breadth from full mint state, nice luster and – most important of all – with original green & gold toning that is absent from nearly all early gold remaining on planet earth. This issue was to be the highlight of the collector's set, so he wanted it to be a stunner. I believe he has succeeded.

1831 Bust Quarter. PCGS graded MS64. Ex Eliasberg. $27,000.

B-1, considered to be rarity-3. A flashy coin with booming luster, and out of perhaps the most famous US coin collection of all time. $8500.

1899 German Dog Medal. Proof

This medal – which at 40mm is nearly the size of a silver dollar but thinner – was so cool that I had to buy it. The design is terrific, the condition is excellent, the toning is pretty. It refers to the May 5-8,1899 Bochum International Fair. A great item for collectors of medals from the Bochum International Fair. I guess it might appeal to dog lovers as well. $195.
