SELECTIONS FROM HERITAGE MAY 14, 2016 AMERICANA SALE

Here are some numismatic-related items that caught my eye in the upcoming May 14 Heritage Auctions Americana and Political Sale. -Editor

Lot 42001 : George Washington Inaugural Button

George Washington Inaugural Button front George Washington Inaugural Button back

George Washington: Memorable Era GW Inaugural Button. GW-1789-4, 34mm, copper with original shank. Sometimes known as the "Dated Eagle" GW as it is the only pattern with the date of the inauguration, March 4th, as originally scheduled (it was postponed and took place on April 30, 1789). Slight waviness and convexity to the planchet.

Lot 42064 : Lincoln Plaque by Brenner

Abraham Lincoln: Classic Bronze Plaque by Victor D. Brenner, Designer of the Lincoln Penny. This signed 1907 plaque shows Lincoln in a similar profile pose to that found on Brenner's immortal penny design. Mounted on the original green marble. The bronze plaque measures 7" x 9.5" and the green marble mount measures 8.5" x 10.75". The plaque has a nice, mellow patina, most prominent in the recessed areas. It retains its original brass easel on the verso. The edge is stamped S. Klarer & Co., Founders, N.Y. A marvelous item which appeals to numismatists and Lincoln collectors alike.

I'm glad I long ago stopped getting upset at the use of the word "penny" in place of "cent", or I'd be having a coronary right now. -Editor

Abraham Lincoln Ferrotype Campaign Button front Abraham Lincoln Ferrotype Campaign Button back

Abraham Lincoln: Back-to-Back Ferrotype. Similar to AL-1860-97, but with three-leaf clusters on the obverse, gilt brass, 25mm. Both portraits excellent, especially the Lincoln which is El Perfecto.

No fancy 70-point grading scale here. -Editor
