STACKS BOWERS TO OFFER BLUE MOON GOBRECHTS

Also at the March 2017 Baltimore show, Stack's Bowers will offer the Blue Moon Collection of proof Gobrecht Dollars. Here's their email announcement from February 3, 2017. -Editor

Blue Moon Gobrecht Dollars

The eponymous silver dollar masterpieces of engraver Christian Gobrecht occupy a revered realm of US Numismatics. Struck both for circulation and throughout the 19th century to the delight of contemporary collectors, this series offers a coalescence of aesthetic beauty and absolute scarcity that goes unrivaled in the hearts of many. The appearance of even one specimen is typically reason for excitement, but the Blue Moon Collection offered in our March 2017 Baltimore Auction will feature no less than nine incredible Choice and Gem Proof examples. This assemblage includes everything from high grade Original strikings to extreme rarities like examples of the Judd-65, Judd-88, and Judd-108 varieties. For a comprehensive list of Judd varieties and grades, please contact our offices today.

Great collection - these are important coins, and it's unusual to gather so many top specimens in one place. -Editor

The Blue Moon Collection
The Blue Moon Collection will include a dazzling array of rare and high grade U.S. coins that encompass products from the very earliest years of the U.S. Mint up through the World War II era. The collection was started over 50 years ago and comprises chiefly private acquisitions from Stack's along with astute auction purchases from many of their most famous sales of the 1970s and 1980s, including the Garrett Collection (1976), the 1976 ANA auction, and Auction '81. Highlighted by the stunning AU-58+ (PCGS) CAC 1794 Flowing Hair dollar from the R.L. Miles, Jr Collection, we are certain that an exceptional cabinet like the present is encountered only once in a Blue Moon.
