Download or read book Catalog of the Magnificent Collection of the Gold, Silver and Copper Coins of the United States written by S. H. Chapman. This book was released on 2017-10-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalog of the Magnificent Collection of the Gold, Silver and Copper Coins of the United States: Formed by the Late David S. Wilson, Esq., Pittsburgh The Gold Dollar series is the most complete in specimens from all Mints ever placed on sale, and includes a Dahlonega 1861, of which only four are known. It is needless to recapitulate the great number of rarities here, which will be found in due order in the catalog. I would particularly call the attention of the collectors to the Splendid series of gold proof sets, which, as sets, are exceedingly rare, and should be, and I believe will be, more highly appreciated in the future. The grandest coin that our country strikes to-day is the twenty-dollar piece, and that is at least as important as any other denomination, and no great collection can claim to fully represent the coins of the United States without contain ing all the denominations. The consideration of face value may be disregarded when we recollect that a collection of cents in the finest condition will easily average fifty dollars a piece.

Book Synopsis Catalogue of the Magnificent Collection of United States and Pioneer Gold Coins of Mr. Charles W. Cowell, Denver, Colorado by : B. Max Mehl
Download or read book Catalogue of the Magnificent Collection of United States and Pioneer Gold Coins of Mr. Charles W. Cowell, Denver, Colorado written by B. Max Mehl. This book was released on 2017-10-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Magnificent Collection of United States and Pioneer Gold Coins of Mr. Charles W. Cowell, Denver, Colorado: Including Some of the Greatest Rarities; Kellogg and Co. $50 Gold; Wass, Molitor $50 Gold; Complete Set Pikes Peak Coins, Including the 1850 $20, With View of Peak Mr. Chas. W. Cowell, now past his seventieth year, is one of the very first numismatists of this country and one of the Pioneer col lectors of the Pioneer gold coins, of which his collection is so rich in many of the greatest gems of this most interesting series.. He is a close student of the gold mint marks and of the minor varieties; and to his close study of all coins that come into his possession are due several discoveries of varieties heretofore unknown; chiefly among which is the excessively rare 1834 half-eagle with crossed four, - a variety Mr. Cowell discovered a few years ago. Mr. Cowell was most actively engaged in forming this collection years ago, and, of course, had the opportunity to secure the finest Specimens, as a careful perusal of this catalogue will readily show. While it is quite impossible to mention the numerous rarities of this collection in the preface, yet, it will not be out of place to call special attention to just a few of the greater rarities. In the pioneer series will be found some of the greatest rarities, - the Kellogg co. Gold piece, of which only thirteen specimens are known, is the gem of the collection; the Wass, Molitor and the three other varieties Of octagon gold pieces are about as fine as found; the Pikes Peak coins include the exceedingly rare 1860 and form the only and first complete set offered at auction; the Mormon coins, Miners' Bank, Norris, Griggs Norris and the many beautiful and rare Carolina and Georgia coins; also the largest collection Of California gold dollars, halves and quarter-dollars ever Offered. In United States gold, with the exception of the early half-eagles, the collection is nearly complete. And as regards the Mint Marks, this is, I believe, the most complete collection ever offered.

Book Synopsis Catalog of the Valuable Collection of United States Gold and Silver Coins of the Late Charles Gordon Zug, Esq. , of Pittsburgh (Classic Reprint) by : S. H. Chapman
Download or read book Catalog of the Valuable Collection of United States Gold and Silver Coins of the Late Charles Gordon Zug, Esq. , of Pittsburgh (Classic Reprint) written by S. H. Chapman. This book was released on 2017-10-29. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalog of the Valuable Collection of United States Gold and Silver Coins of the Late Charles Gordon Zug, Esq., Of Pittsburgh In his early boyhood, the late Charles Gordon Zug, began his collection of coins, and gave much attention to the interesting study of his country's coinage. He was born in Pittsburg, June 10th, 1872, and died at the age of 36 years, August 10, 1908, from heart failure caused by over-exertion through excessive bicycle riding while a lad. He was engaged in the iron manufacturing business with his father in Pittsburg. During the last years of his life he turned his atten tion particularly to the United States Gold Series, and though lacking a few of the higher rareties, he formed a splendid collection of the mint series of gold coins - the Eagles, including the rare 1798 and 1804, the Half Eag les, 1823, '25 and '30, and the Quarter Eagles, 1796, '97, 1821 and '26; Three Dollars - the rareties of 1865, '73 and '76, the last a brilliant proof, and his complete set of Dollars. He added largely to this series at my sale of the great collection of the late David S. Wilson, March, 1907, where Mr. Zug was one of the largest buyers, his purchases amounting to $3000, and I have preserved the record of the previous ownership of the pieces from this collection, by referring to this source in the present Catalogue. I can supply a few copies of the Wilson Sale Catalogue with price list at and with plates at the latter illustrating many additional coins of the Zug Sale. The Wilson Collection contained 600 pieces of U. S. Gold, and is the largest sale of the series ever held. He had not added much to the Silver Series during recent years, but it contains both varieties of the very rare 1796 Half Dollar in good condition.
