While there is certainly an excitement surrounding a competitive auction room, the acquisition of property through a private sale often results in better pricing, and can accommodate custom sales terms that are not available in an auction venue.
The coins offered below are purposefully limited in number to usually no more than a few dozen, all of which are exceptional for their rarity, condition, or historical importance. Condition census Early American Coins, Finest Known Liberty Seated and Barber Silver, and the best Rare Date and Proof Gold, preferably in uncompromisingly original condition. In a word, the “Masterworks” of American Numismatics. While each coin offered has been certified by PCGS, and most have been approved by CAC, more importantly, each coin has been selected and described by Joe O’Connor.
