Significant Opportunities in
The Mike Coltrane Collection Part 2 Sale
Last fall's Mike Coltrane Part 1 sale was enthusiastically received by the numismatic community. A new auction record for a War of 1812 Treasury Note was achieved when the 1815 $3 triple-signature issued note realized $168,000. Hundreds of other notes in all value windows were also won by eager bidders. Currency collectors will not want to miss The Mike Coltrane Collection Part 2, to be sold unreserved by Heritage Auctions on June 24-25, 2021. This event offers outstanding opportunities for bidders to obtain many choice and interesting United States and related currency notes, most of which have been off the market for decades and are offered certified for the first time.
Mike Coltrane's continuing and engaging narrative of American currency issues unfolds within this presentation ranging from Colonial issues to the small size currency we currently use. Two assemblages within this sale are notable: the second and final group of Mike Coltrane's War of 1812 Treasury Notes — the most comprehensive ever assembled and cataloged for sale — and the most extensive selection of large size Federal Reserve Bank Notes to appear in a single auction. Numerous Federal currency rarities from all series are featured alongside hundreds of other large, fractional, and small size type notes in attractive, collector-quality grades. There is something to suit every budget, whether large or small, in this sale.
Some highlights include:
Act of February 24, 1815 $10 Treasury Note. Hessler X83C, Fr. TN-14b. Triple-Signature Fully Issued. PMG Choice Very Fine 35. – Unique, and cataloged with further historical background research and insights. Perhaps the first Federal currency note issued. Lot 20015.
