3.1794 $1 B-1, BB-1, R.4, AU58 NGC. CAC. Bowers Die State III, with extremely faint clash marks and shallow third hair curl. In the Mint Act of April 2, 1792, Congress established a bimetallic coinage system based on the silver dollar and the gold eagle as the "unit" measurements against which all fractional pieces were established. However, it was some time before any silver or gold coins were struck, due to "problems" with the legislation. The major hurdle, often called the "Mint Impediment," was the inability of the Assayer (Albion Cox) or the Chief Coiner (Henry Voigt) to post the $10,000 surety bond required by the government. Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson wrote to President George Washington about this problem on December 30, 1793:

4.1810 $5 Large Date, Large 5, BD-4, R.2, MS65 NGC. Bass-Dannreuther Die State c/b, with a vertical die crack at the clasp. A substantial mintage of 100,287 Capped Bust Left half eagles was accomplished in 1810, with four die varieties known for the date. The present coin represents the BD-4 variety, easily distinguished by the large numerals in the date and the Large 5 in the denomination. The BD-4 is a relatively available issue, with a surviving population of 500-750 pieces in all grades, but examples in MS65 condition are extremely elusive.

5.1776 $1 Continental Dollar, CURRENCY, Pewter, EG FECIT, MS65 NGC. Newman 3-D, W-8460, R.4. Despite a documented history dating back more than 235 years, the 1776 Continental dollar remains an enigmatic issue to numismatists today. The coins have been studied by some of the greatest numismatic researchers of all time, but opinions about the origin and intended purpose of the coins remain divided. Regardless of their controversial nature, the coins remain elusive, valuable, and historic relics of our numismatic past. Heritage Auctions is pleased to present this spectacular Gem representative in this important offering.

7. 1843 $10 PR64 Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. JD-1, R.7. Ex: Pittman. In his United States Proof Coins, Vol. IV: Gold, John Dannreuther notes 1843 is the "common" date for proof eagles of the 1840s, with a total of six examples known to numismatists (see roster below). However, the number of coins available to collectors is much smaller. Two coins are permanently impounded in the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution and a third is in the Harry Bass Core Collection at the ANA Money Museum. A fourth example was stolen in 2007 and never recovered. A fifth specimen surfaced briefly in France in 1977 and has not been publicly offered in the last 42 years. Essentially, only one 1843 proof eagle is available to collectors today, the coin offered here. Heritage Auctions is privileged to present the finest-certified (and only available) example of this 19th century gold rarity in this important offering.

8. George V Specimen Pattern Dollar 1911 SP64 PCGS, Ottawa mint, KM-Pn15, DC-6. The 1911 Dollar is considered the greatest, and most storied rarity in all of Canadian numismatics, and it is our distinct pleasure to offer this incredible coin for the second time. Previously of the notable Parrino and Belzberg Collections, this specimen is one of only two examples to have been struck in silver, while the other coin is permanently housed in the National Currency Collection in Ottawa alongside a single striking in lead.

9.George V Specimen "Dot" Cent 1936 SP65 Red and Brown PCGS, Royal Canadian Mint, KM28. Among the company of famous rarities within Canadian numismatics is the 1936-dated Dot Cent, struck in 1937 prior to the creation of coinage dies for George VI, though never released for circulation. In fact, it was long considered an "uncollectible" coin, since noted numismatist John Jay Pittman held all three known examples from 1961 until his death. The three-part auction of his collection brought all three back onto the market: the first in October 1997 and the other two (including this piece) in August 1999. Since then, the three 1936 Dot Cents remain scattered and every time one is offered, a great amount of excitement is generated. This particular Specimen has been in the Cook Collection for over nine years, having last been offered as part of the Canadiana Collection in 2010.
10. Republic Yuan Shih-kai silver Pattern "L. Giorgi" Dollar Year 3 (1914) MS61 NGC, Central mint in Tientsin, KM-Pn31, L&M-67, Kann-645. "L. Giorgi" Above Shoulder variety. Ranking as one of the most collected of all Chinese coinage issues, the Yuan Shih-kai dollar sits alongside the later Sun Yat-sen dollar as a near-universally recognized type, one akin to the Morgan or Peace dollars of the United States. Given this iconic status it should be of no surprise to anyone that the "L Giorgi" Pattern brings this type of recognition to its very apex, standing as an elite icon in Chinese numismatics. The type is marked by its display of the signature of the Tientsin Mint's Chief Engraver, Luigi Giorgi, behind the President's shoulder, and is indisputably one of the rarest coins in the entire Chinese series.

12. 1792 P1C One Cent, Judd-1, Pollock-1, High R.6, SP35 PCGS. CAC. The Silver Center cent is one of the most famous and iconic issues of American coinage. Most numismatists believe it was the first coin actually produced inside the walls of the first U.S. Mint, although a few other patterns were struck earlier, before the Mint was actually ready for coinage operations. Its historic importance can scarcely be overstated and examples have been prized by collectors since the earliest days of the hobby.

Arguably one of the most iconic denominations in the entire British numismatic series: the Triple Unite, the largest hammered gold coin to ever be produced in England and a piece of British civil war propaganda which continues to inspire awe even 377 years on.
14.People's Republic gold Pattern(?) Proof "Dragon Boat" 500 Yuan (5 ounce) 1995 PR69 Ultra Cameo NGC, type of KM-A823, type of Cheng page 177 #1, 60mm. All are supposed to have the edge number stamped at 12 o'clock. This piece has no edge number in the area where the number is normally stamped. We have only seen two other pieces offered and both had a stamped edge number. One of the most interesting designs from the 5-coin ancient maritime commemorative series, showing the Dragon Boat in bold detail with hundreds of scales on the dragon and the pagoda at the ship's center displaying impressive architectural accuracy. On the other side, the Great Wall of China sits in impressive frosted splendor.

15.1885 T$1 PR66 NGC. The 1885 Trade dollar is one of the rarest and most enigmatic issues in all of American coinage. The coins were almost certainly struck in the first half of 1885, but they only began appearing publicly early in the 20th century, 25 years after they were minted. Only five examples are known, making them just as rare as the celebrated 1913 Liberty nickel (five specimens accounted for), and much more elusive than their more famous 1804 dollar cousins (15 examples known).

Although several pattern coins were produced in 1792, the Chain AMERI. cents were the first copper coins actually struck at the U.S. Mint for use in commerce. The 1792 half disme is believed to be the first official issue of the U.S. Mint. This early die state piece was probably struck on one of the first days of coinage operation in 1793, and it was certainly among coins in the first delivery dated March 1, 1793.

18. 1943 CENT Struck on a Bronze Planchet AU53 NGC. Ex: Don Lutes, Jr. Discovery Specimen. The 1943 bronze Lincoln cent is the most famous error coin in American numismatics. In fact, the appeal of the 1943 "copper" cent far transcends traditional numismatics, as the issue has captured the imagination of coin collectors, school children, and members of the general public alike. Despite relentless searching by eager collectors over a period of more than 70 years, only a handful of legitimate specimens have ever been discovered. PCGS CoinFacts estimates the surviving population at no more than 10-15 examples in all grades.

19. 1879 $4 PR66 Cameo NGC, Judd-1638, Pollock-1838. The 1879 Coiled Hair stellas are among the rarest and most valuable issues in American numismatics. PCGS CoinFacts and USPatterns.com both estimate the surviving population at no more then 12-15 examples in all grades. Of these, one example is included in the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution, and another was stolen in 1967 and remains missing. Unfortunately, the population data from the two leading grading services is inflated by resubmissions and crossovers. We have traced 13 examples in our roster of known specimens, below. Traditionally collected with the pattern series, both Flowing Hair and Coiled Hair stellas are avidly collected by numismatists from all collecting disciplines today.
