NUMISMATIC AUCTIONS LLC SALE 65 CATALOG READY
The catalog for the Numismatic Auctions LLC sale 65 is online and available for viewing or download. The sale will be held November 23-24, 2020. Here are some lots that caught my eye - see the catalog and the earlier article for highlights. -Editor
Lot 3: North West Company Token
Great, historic piece. -Editor
Lot 20: 1841 Proof Half Cent 
Extraordinarily Choice 1841 Proof Half Cent Rarity. 1841 Braided Hair Original Proof PCGS Gold Shield PR64BN CAC. Exquisite glass-like mirrored fields with stunning iridescent steel to teal blue toning. Prohibitively rare with a reported mintage of only 24 pieces, with the few surviving examples nowhere near this superb state of preservation. An investment quality rarity for the advanced US collector or copper specialist, well deserving of its CAC designation
See Bill Eckberg's cover article on this month's Numismatist. The Half Cents are a great series to collect. -Editor
Lot 193: 1795 Half Dime 
Magnificent Original Mint State Silver Half Dime. 1795. Flowing Hair. LM-8. NGC MS65 with lovely blue-green to golden-gunmetal toning. A beautiful and fully original Mint State Gem of this rare Federal Period Silver minor coinage type, certainly CAC worthy based upon originality alone.
Wow - a great early type coin. -Editor
Lot 926: 1901-S $5 gold 
5 Dollars, 1901-S. NGC MS64, nice cartwheel luster with splashes of pale violet.
Nice coin. I'm not above being drawn to nice shiny stuff. -Editor
Lot 1116: Hawaii Hobron Token 
12 ½ Cents Thomas H. Hobron Token, 1879. Handsome brown EF and quite pleasing. Very scarce.
Hawaii tokens are scarce but there are few known types and varieties, so it's a doable state set to put together. -Editor
Lot 1329: 1891 $2 Bill 
$2, 1891. Fr. 245. PMG VF25 minor repairs noted, expertly executed and very well-concealed.
A seldom-seen (at least by me) type note. I like how the denomination "2" in the lower right corner is tilted at a jaunty angle, along with the undulating curves of the phrase "United States Silver Dollars". -Editor
Lot 1350: 1900 $10,000 Bill 
$10,000, 1900. Fr. 1225h. A seldom offered signature pairing with the added bonus of the note being Uncancelled. Appearance of aEF to EF, cpl singed corners from the legendary DC fire provide both credibility and presence to the note, overall nice with transfer endorsement verso. An always popular and impressive high denom issue as well as an affordable trophy note. Housed in an oversized Capital Plastics display holder.
If you can't afford a Warhol "Red Shot Marilyn", the burnt $10,000 bill is an equally storied collectible. -Editor
Lot 1455: Potty Dollar and Potty Dime 
1877 “Potty Dollar” engraved in slightly finer style than the preceding example on a chamber pot resembling a coffee cup with ribbon above. Host coin full rim Good-VG and toned, cpl old marks. Always sought after, accompanied by a seldom seen “Potty Dime”, 1891, toned Fine/VF. 2 coins. ($250-300)
I've seen potty dollars, but wasn't familiar with the potty dime. Neat pair. -Editor
Lot 1487: Thomas Elder 1927 Gold Token 
Lincoln Gold Token, 1927. AV, 15mm. As DeLorey-48. Unc, with auction ticket from the Litman, Sullivan & Dreyfuss Collection Sale at Presidential. ($200-300)
Lot 1503: Pedley-Ryan Dollar 
Pedley-Ryan Dollar, 1933. Type VII. HK-828. PCGS Gold Shield MS64. A handsome example of this R7 rarity at the very top of the condition spectrum available. ($3500-4000)
Nice example of a great rarity. -Editor
