MAX MEHL FORT WORTH. TEXAS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED APR 2G IS22 I3I.A659781 *VO ( (J cr A GREAT COLLECTOR Words few or many and no matter how carefully chosen cannot adequately tell the life story of James Ten Eye}? whose large and important collection of coins and medals hearing a worldwide reputation for rarities is about to be dis- posed of at an auction sale, in accordance with an expressed desire of him who took so much enjoyment in bringing it together. Mr, Ten Eyck was broad and liberal minded in all his dealings, a man of distinguished public spirit, a numismatist of prominence as attested by his life membership in the American Numismatic Society and his willingness to pay top prices for what he selected as gems during long years of collecting. The coin collection of his youth he disposed of in 1865. Immediately he started collecting again and continued enthusiastically until the time of his final illness. How well he succeeded in that great commendable undertaking can best be realized after a careful study of the contents of this catalog. The collection herewith offered is worthy of the reputation it has long borne of being entitled to rank in first place among all of its kind not only on account of its completeness of the gold coins of the United States series but also because of their superb condition. When one devotes the best years of his life to the pursuit and accomplishment of a worthy ambition as Mr. Ten Eyck did in assembling his collection of coins and medals and has ample financial resources for all demands then, and then only, can he hope to bring together a collection such as is now offered the public- James Ten Eyck had a most interesting career. He was born in Albany, N. Y., February 16, 1840, and died in his native city, July 28, 1910. From both his parents, his father, Visscher Ten Eyck and his mother, Ann Youngs Ten Eyck, he was descended from ancestors who were Hollanders and among the first settlers in America. He received his early education in the Albany Acad- emy and after graduating attended Burlington College, Burlington, N. J. He returned to Albany and entered the service of the New York Central Railroad in its auditing department. In September, 1857, he associated himself with Bacon and Stickney, coffee and spice merchants, and was admitted to the firm of Bacon, Stickney and Company, March 1 , 1865. He was senior mem- ber of that firm at the time of his death and was in continuous service for more than fifty-three years. He was also President of the Albany Institute Historical and Art Society, President of the Home Savings Bank, Trustee of the Home- opathic Hospital, Director of the New York State National Bank and Trustee of the Union Trust Company. He was most prominent in Masonic circles, having been Master of the Master's Lodge No. 5 several times and later elected grand master of the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New York and trustee of the Masonic Home in Utica, N. Y. He always showed a great interest in the work of other collectors particularly the younger ones who like himself were deeply interested in numismatics and it it gratifying now to k no ^> that an opportunity is offered them to take from his collection valuable specimens and add them to their own. Mr. Ten Eyck's numismatic interest did not extend to the mint marks or die varieties. He Was interested only in completing the collection to represent the coinage of the United States — from its earliest Colonial period. How well he succeeded can best be attested by the numerous great rarities in the collection. It is usually customary, in a preface to an auction catalog, to call attention to the greater rarities. To do so in this instance would be necessary to appro- priate a goodly portion of catalog space. The rarities are too numerous to enumerate here, but it is not out of place to call attention to the rare opportunity of purchasing these greater rarities — some of which are here offered for the first time in a decade, and it may be their last appearance for public competi- tion. I refer particularly to the Brasher Doubloons, the 1798 half eagle with small eagle reverse, the Washington New Jersey cent, Washington Consiellatio cent, the unique New Jersey cent of 1786, with dale below beam, the Washing- ton cent with bust of George III, the Virginia shilling and others. Those who are conversant with the task in cataloging a collection of ihis mag- nitude, will readily realize the great amount of labor, research and careful study necessary for the successful completion of the undertaking. The privilege of cataloging a collection of this importance is one which presents itself probably once in a life time. No one realizes its importance and responsibility more than I do, and to the end that all interested be served properly and to the highest satisfaction, I gave myself to the task whole-heartedly, sparing neither time, labor nor expense in presenting this Wonderful collection in a manner which will be a credit to numismatic science and a numismatic monument to the man who spent fifty years in bringing it together. I want to avail myself of this opportunity to thank the numerous friends, who expressed their congratulations to me upon my being selected to catalog and sell this renowned collection. To them and to all others who receive a copy of ihis catalog, 1 invite your liberal patronage for this sale, and can assure you that whether you bid on one lot or on one hundred lots, — whether your purchases amount to $5.00 or to $5,000.00, your commissions will be attended to most faithfully.

Very rare. 142 1872 Slightly impaired proof, brilliant but field is slightly rubbed. Rare. 143 1873 Very fine, traces of proof surface. Was struck as a proof but appears to have seen slight circulation. Extremely rare. According to mint records, only 25 specimens were struck. This, however, I do not believe is correct as a larger number was undoubtedly struck. However, it is of great rarity. 144 1874 Uncirculated, mint luster. The Excessively Rare 1875 Three-Dollar Gold Piece. 145 1875 Struck as a proof, but the field shows evidence of handling and it can now be classed as about uncirculated with proof surface. There is a faint hair line scratch in field at forehead of Liberty, but this is hardly noticeable to the naked eye. The coin is in every respect a most desirable one and worthy of a home in any collection. Only twenty coined. One of the very rarest of all American gold coins. With record for a brilliant specimen above the thousand dollar mark. Plate. 146 1876 A perfect brilliant proof, sharp, with wire edge on ob- obverse. Only 45 said to have been coined, but of far greater rarity than the 1873. Has been selling around $200.00. Plate. 147 1877 Perfect brilliant proof. While the mint report states that nearly 1,500 specimens were coined, but the number known would hardly justify such a report. Personally I believe this date to be nearly as rare as the 1873, and unquestionably so when in proof condition. This specimen is the most perfect one of this date I have ever seen. It is a gem in every respect. I find that but very few of even the largest collections contained a brilliant proof specimen of this date. I believe that not more than about ten brilliant proofs are known. Plate. 148 1878 Brilliant uncirculated. 149 1879 Brilliant uncirculated, proof surface. 150 1880 Perfect brilliant proof.

UNITED STATES FIVE-DOLLAR GOLD PIECES. Coinage commenced in 1795. None coined in 1801, 1816 and 1817. The SET of HALF EAGLES, 1795 to 1834, HERE OF- FERED IS UNDOUBTEDLY, AS A WHOLE, the MOST IMPORTANT COLLECTION THAT HAS BEEN OF- FERED IN A DECADE. 1795 Heraldric Eagle, 1797, 1798 Small Eagle, 1815 and, With One exception. ALL DATES to 1834 in Gem Condition. 161 1795 First year and first type of issue, Liberty head with cap, facing right, LIBERTY above and to right, five stars to right, ten to left, date below. Reverse, small eagle holding olive wreath in beak, standing on branch; around, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Variety with top of 5 just touching bust. Very fine. Rare and in demand. 162 1795 Second type. Obverse, same type as last but of an en- tirely different die. Reverse, heraldic eagle, shield on breast, banner inscribed E. PLURIBUS UNUM ; an olive branch in left talon and bunch of arrows in right ; a band of clouds ex- tending from wing to wing, sixteen stars about eagle's head, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around. This reverse while of the same type as the other early Half Eagles of the her- aldic eagle type, is of an entirely different and distinct variety. It is the only variety which has sixteen stars about eagle's head. A small die break on edge at TE of UNITED and a light die break on bottom of reverse. Extremely fine, sharp, with considerable mint luster, in fact the coin is practically uncirculated. Extremely rare and valuable. Plate. United States Half Eagles, 1796-1800. 19 163 1796 Over 1795, over-date very plain. Obverse, as last, re- verse the same as the first type of 1795, small eagle. Ex- tremely fine, with proof surface.

The Exceedingly Rare 1798 Half-Eagle With Small Eagle Reverse. 1798 Obverse, type as last, but of an entirely different die, stars are larger and closer, date large and compact, and inner circle on left and bottom portion. REVERSE, SMALL EAGLE as on the 1795 first type, 1796 and 1797, but of an entirely different die variety. The wreath in eagle's beak is much heavier, with two berries on right branch and one on left. The balance of the reverse is also of an entirely different die than that of any other dates of this type. The coin has seen circulation and bears the following nicks which do not im- pair the coin as much as the description would signify, but ow- ing to the great importance of the coin, I deem it necessary to mention every slight defect : On the obverse it has a short light scratch in field before face, two pin point nicks at left and one above head, the reverse edge, at ED of UNITED and at space to S of STATES has been rubbed, probably as a test; few other light scratches on reverse. The coin as a whole can be classed as fine. Of highest rarity. Mr. Adams in his book on the early gold, published in 1909, states that only two specimens are known. Apparently, this specimen was unknown to him at that time. However, in all, including this specimen, only three are known, one of which is in the United States Mint at Philadelphia, and is, of course, out of the market for all time. The other specimen was sold in the Earle sale, in 1912, where it was catalogued as "the rarest U. S. gold coin of the regular series" and brought $3,000.00. With the greatly increased interest and value of all early gold, this may be the last opportunity for the pur- chase of this great coin in the present generation and should bring a correspondingly higher price than its last record.

PLURIBUS UNUM incused on scroll above, 5 D. below, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around. Uncirculated, with every star filled and nearly perfectly centered. A very difficult date and variety to find so choice, and as such quite rare. This type was used to and including 1812. 176 1808 Very fine, 5 D. large and medium spaced. 177 1809 5 D. wide.

United States Half Eagles, 1815-1826. 21 Lot No. 183. The Exceedingly Rare 1815 Half-Eagle. 1815 Practically uncirculated, only highest portions show the slightest touch of circulation, but I believe that is only due to handling or to cabinet friction. It is well struck and cen- tered, and fortunately free from any nicks or dents of any kind. It has an even frosty mint surface. A very satisfactory state of preservation for this great rarity. In my twenty years nu- mismatic experience, this is the first specimen I am offering at auction, and the second that has passed through my hands. The other specimen I handled in 1912 when I sold it at private sale for $3,500.00. One of the high rarities in this remarkable collection. Mr. Brown, who was closely associated with Mr. Ten Eyck informs me that this coin was prized by Mr. Ten Eyck as much as any specimen in his collection. Plate. 184 1818 Practically uncirculated, frosty mint surface. Variety with faint die break connecting bottom of AMERICA. Very rare. Record near $50.00. 185 1819 Large date. Uncirculated, with beautiful proof sur- face, nearly equal to a perfect proof. I believe this is the first specimen offered at auction in about fourteen years and if we stop to consider the number known, I believe that it is nearly as rare as the 1815. A magnificent specimen of this great rarity. There is a record of $650.00 for a fine specimen, sold in 1907. This should bring a great deal more now. Plate. 186 1820 Curled base 2.

Plate. 188 1823 A pin point nick on obverse edge, hardly noticeable. Beautiful uncirculated specimen with bright surface, sharp. Undoubtedly one of the very best of the few known speci- mens. Extremely rare. Record about $150.00. Plate. 189 1824 Extremely fine, some luster ; very light dent on obverse edge above head. This slight defect as well as others men- tioned on other coins, is hardly noticeable, but owing to the importance of the coins, I mention them all. Extremely rare.

These coins were issued by Assayers, Bankers and Companies during the early days of the West; also in the '30's in the Carolinas and Georgia. While these coins are not legal coinage, they were readily accepted and passed current at that time when there was a pressing need of money with which to transact the business of the country. Such coinage is now prohibited. The rarity of these coins is due to both to the limited number ofl speci- mens struck and to the greater number that have since been re-melted. While Mr. Ten Eyck did not indulge his interests in the Pioneer series to a very large extent, there are here offered however specimens of much interest and a few of great rarity, such as the Wass M'olitor slug, the Mormon "Twenty" and the Baldwin "Ten." 29 CALIFORNIA.

A small die break on obverse edge at fourth star from left. The ob- verse can be classed very fine for coin ; the reverse as strictly fine for this piece, as they were all struck rather weak, but this specimen shows every letter and figure and the evidence of circulation is evenly distributed. Also, fortunately, it is free from any nicks or dents. Of excessive rarity. I doubt if more than five or six specimens are known. Out of the goodly num- ber of great collections offered in the past twenty years, 1 find only one contained a specimen of this rarity. This was the Ulex sale in 1902, where it brought $300.00. Also Shinkle lists one at $750.00. This amount of course is no guide of the present value of this great rarity. In the past fifteen years I have handled no less than about $100,000.00 worth of Pioneer gold, and this is the first specimen of the Baldwin Ten of this type that has passed through my hands. Plate.

AMERICAN GOLD COINS of the COLONIAL PERIOD NEW YORK THE COINAGE OF EPHRAIM BRASHER Lot No. 374. THE CELEBRATED BRASHER DOUBLOON! 1787 Brasher's Celebrated Doubloon.

Reverse; an olive wreath enclosing an heraldic eagle with U.

Only six known ; four others of this type and one with E B stamped in center. About uncirculated, with considerable mint luster, and partly raised borders. A pin-point nick on upper edge. Pur- chased by Mr. Ten Eyck at private sale from the James G. Mills Collection. Originally from the famous Davis Collec- tion, lot No. 2342, sold 1889, where it was cataloged as — "evenly struck impression, barely touched by circulation ; excelling any of the five known that we have seen". The box in which Mr. Ten Eyck kept this great rarity is marked "Brasher Doubloon. Finest known. Davis Sale". It is also interesting to note that the Brasher Doubloon which was sold in the Parmelee Sale, 1890, was described as follows ; "Very fine, barely touched by circulation — and nearly as fine as that in the Davis Sale", re- ferring to the identical specimen now here offered. Plate. This celebrated coin has the unusual distinctive importance of being rightfully included in the American Colonial Series and, as it is the first issue of a private gold coinage, is also included in that important series. For historical interest and numismatic rarity, this great coin is second to none. It is rightfully recognized as one of the greatest numismatic rarities of the world. As the other five of the six known specimens are in all probability out of the market for all time, the one offered here is undoubtedly the only purchasable one. It should, therefore, and I believe will, realize a price in keep- ing with its great rarity and value. 33 Lot No. 375. THE SPANISH DOUBLOON COINED BY BRASHER. This is one of only two specimens known. It is here offered at auction for the first time. 1742 Doubloon. Obverse; two columns, representing the pil- lars of Hercules, each surmounted by a fleur de lis. A floral or- nament above. Legend, in three lines, L . 8 . V | P . V . A | 7.4.2. Below the columns are lines representing the sea; below these is the word BRASHER, not stamped in but struck with the coin. (This part of the design — the sea and the word BRASHER — is similar to the same general idea as on the Brasher Doubloon of 1787). All within a large circle of clots, around which is portions of legend, which on the only other known specimen can be made out as PHILIP V. D. G. H. REX. ANO 17 (00, 03, or 80). Reverse, cross of Jerusa- lem, with castles and lions in quarters. In the center is E B counterstamped. (This E B counterstamp is the same type as found counterstamped on some of the early Portuguese and English gold coins, and similar to the E B on the Doubloon of 1787). Legend, around circle of pellets, HISPANIARUM ET IND REX. This specimen has been clipped down to nearly the border of pellets so that the outer legend does not show. GOLD. Size 27 mm. Weight 408 Grs. Few light, hardly noticeable scratches. Very good to fine. Excessively rare and of great historical and numismatic interest. Only two specimens known ! Plate. As is usually the case with every newly discovered rarity, there is usually some discussion as to its origin, degree of rarity, etc. I am therefore pleased to give here a rather lengthy but a complete lot of information which I have been able to gather and from which it will be readily noted that this coin is one of our greatest and most historically interest- ing numismatic rarities. The first published information regarding this piece is found in the report of the Committee on United States Coins of the American Numismatic Society of New York, as pub- lished by the Society in February, 1915, where a description and discussion is given of the only other known specimen, the one discovered and now owned by Mr. Waldo Newcomer of Baltimore. The Committee was composed of the well known Numismatists, Mr. W. H. Woodin, Mr. Wayte Raymond and Mr. Edgar H. Adams. Mr. Adams made an exhaustive study of the piece before making the report. Here is the portion of their report treating on this Brasher Doubloon: "A most noteworthy discovery during the present year (1915) has been made by Mr. Waldo Newcomer, of Balti- more, Md., and one which raises many interesting questions 34 Brasher Spanish Doubloon. regarding the early coinage of the United States. Mr. Newcomer recently obtained a number of early Spanish and other foreign gold coins from a lady, who informed him that thev had been accumulated many years ago. Among these" coins was what purported to be a golden ounce or eight-escudo piece of Spanish issue, dated 1742. * * Cand here follows a description of the piece as given above). From a careful examination, it is certain that the whole coin design was entirely fabricated outside of any author- ized Spanish Mint, and the stamp of BRASHER N Y must have appeared in the original die, although the counter- stamp E B was added after the piece had been struck, and seems to be exactly like the stamps of this assayer which have been examined on the various Brasher doubloons and other gold coins, usually of Spanish or Portuguese origin, which have appeared from time to time. One of the first questions raised by the discovery of this coin is, did Ephraim Brasher, the famous coiner of the famous doubloon, operate a private mint in New York, at which he struck golden doubloons from dies made at his establishment? We are all very well acquainted with the New York doubloon, which is of entirely original design, and which related only to New York. In the past it has been thought by some that the weight of this later piece, which ranges from 406J/2 to 411 and a fraction grains, was reason enough to entitle it to be called a doubloon. * * * * So far no infor- mation has come to our attention that Brasher ever manu- factured doubloons of any kind on his own account, or that he had a private mint, but the existance of the piece just come to light would point to that conclusion. It is an undoubted fact that private persons, during the latter part of the nineteenth century DID OPERATE PRIVATE MINTS IN BALTIMORE and elsewhere. We have as authority for this statement the following ex- tract from a letter written by Henry William De Saussree, Director of the United States Mint, dated Oct. 27, 1795: "I understand that none of the laws of Congress have provided any penalties for the various offenses which may be committed against the coinage. In most countries strict laws are enacted, prohibiting the interference of individuals in this attribute of the sovereignty; and, in some, the very possession of dies or presses, or other implements essen- tial in the coinage is made criminal. In this country mints are said to be boldly erected at Baltimore and elsewhere, professedly to imitate the coins of foreign countries and to furnish a debased gold coin for the West India markets; and so much of the gold bullion which would be brought to the National mint is carried to these private establish- ments, which degrade our national character." It may be stated that this letter was taken from The American Journal of Numismatics, 1892, July, Page 13. We are also indebted to the same publication for another interesting reference to this subject, which is found in 1892, July, Page 20, which states: "Brasher is said to have been a gold and silversmith, and probably a resident of New York; his name appears in the New York City Di- rectory for 1787 as a silversmith at No. 1 Cherry Street. * * * * He was employed by the authorities of the United States Mint in 1792 to make assays for the mint, 'on sundry coins of gold and silver, pursuant to instructions from the then Secretary of the Treasury (Alexander Hamilton.)' What those coins were it cannot now be definitely ascer- Brasher Spanish Doubloon. 35 tained, but possibly he may have assisted Davit Ott, whose assay, in November, 1792, is on record. This was an examination' of 'French Guineas and Double Guineas,' so-called, and of English Guineas, Spanish Pistols, and Half Johannes of Portugual, of various dates, in gold, and of English and French Crowns, English Shillings, and Spanish Dollars, in silver; for work of this kind Brasher seems to have been well adapted. * * * It is not unlikely that the gold coins now known which show the counterstamp of EB, were some of the coins which Brasher assayed and stamped at the instance of the Secretary of the Treasury. This is somewhat supported by the fact that at the Zabriskie sale was cataloged a Half Joe of Portugal, in the center of which was a plug bearing the counterstamp of EB, the same as used on the New York Doubloon. Evidently the insertion of this plug of gold was required to bring it up to its proper value. * * * The question naturally is asked, if debased gold coins were being struck in American cities, and sent to the West Indies for circulation, why should Brasher place his name upon one of them, if the piece in question belonged to this class? It should be inferred that Brasher, having been authorized by the Government to make assays, had acquired a good reputation, and that the fact that a coin bore his stamp "E B" guaranteed its authenticity. It is also reasonable to conjecture that he issued this imita- tion of a Spanish piece, with his name and address in the die, for the express purpose of assuring its free circu- lation. * * * The discovery of this goldpiece, bearing the name and address of Brasher, is undoubtedly one of the most important of late years. * * * * " Through the kindness of Mr. Newcomer who owns the only other known specimen, and who submitted it to me for com- parison, I was able to carefully compare the two coins, and after a most minute comparison and examination I find that his specimen and the Ten Evck coin are of the IDENTICAL DIES. Another bit of interesting information and an opinion which I value most highly, comes to me from Mr. B. G. Johnson, of St. Louis, who is a recognized authority on this series, and whose knowledge of these pieces is unexcelled. I submitted the coin to Mr. Johnson for his frank opinion. Here is what he wrote me in response : "Dear Mr. Mehl: The Brasher Doubloon arrived today, and I have looked it over carefully, and have no hesitancy whatever in pro- nouncing it genuine and of that period. It was quite likely struck for the West India trade. In those days, sugar, rum, etc. being imported from the West Indies and gen- erally paid for in Spanish or Portuguese gold. In all prob- ability there was a shortage of this gold of regular coinage, and these pieces were struck to make up the deficiency. I would guess that the piece was struck before the other doubloon, probably at the very close of the Revolution. It is an extremely interesting coin, and by rights should be included in the American private gold series. There can have been no other object in stirking this coin in good gold except for to circulate as a medium of exchange. Brasher was a goldsmith, and probably struck these off for his customers when he could not supply them with doub- 36 Gold Coins of Brasher. loons. Goldsmiths in those days operated to a certain ex- tent as bankers and as money changers. It is a very rare coin indeed, and if the hooked eagle Mexican doubloon in the Jenks Sale was worth what it brought, ($232.50), this is worth five times as much".

In the list of these coins, pub- lished some twenty years ago, in American Journal of Numis- matics, the Ten Eyck specimen was listed among them. How- ever, after careful comparisons and study of these famous coins, we find that while they are all of the same obverse die, there are two distinct different reverse dies. On the original speci- mens, or those claimed to be original and struck in 1804, the words STATES OF on reverse are evenly spaced between the eagle's wings, while on the second variety, the spacing is un- even, there being quite a bit more space between the last S in STATES and O in OF. This last variety is what is now known or termed as the Re-strike, — struck at the United States Mint in Philadelphia, from the original 1804 obverse die, but at a later date than 1804. The specimen here offered is of the second variety, but its rarity, considering the number known, is very high, as only three or four of this variety are known outside of museums. The specimen here offered appears to be of the identical die as the Lyman, Rosenberg and Idler specimens. The Lyman specimen was sold in 1913, (bringing $340.00), but the Ten Eyck specimen is of an earlier impression and is much stronger, with all stars on obverse and reverse well struck up, perfectly centered and in proof condition. Besides the Lyman specimen, I can find no record of another having been offered at auction. United States Silver Dollars. 41 Mr. Ten Eyck purchased this coin about forty years ago. It was formerly owned by Dr. Henry R. Linderman, who was director of the Mints and Assay Offices of the United States from 1873 to 1875, and a great authority on coinage and assay. With this coin is an affidavit executed by Emily Linderman, which reads as follows : "State of Pennsylvania \ cc Monroe County J Personally appeared before me a Justice of the Peace in and for said County of Monroe, Emily Linderman, widow of the late Dr. Henry R. Linderman, director of the Mint, who being duly sworn according to law deposes and says, "that the said Dr. Linderman told deponent that he had ob- tained the 1804 Dollar in his collection, that it was an original, that it was of great rarity, there only having been twelve or fourteen struck, that it was one of the finest, if not the finest specimen in existence, that he had paid for it in installments, not feeling able to pay for it all at one time". He then showed the specimen to deponent afterward locking it in his office safe with his collection". (Signed) Emily Linderman. Sworn and subscribed before me this first day of July A. D. 1887. Charles W. Holbrook, Justice of the Peace. An interesting episode in regard to the question of the rarity of this variety of the 1804 Dollar, is the fact that the Idler speci- men, which is of the identical variety as this specimen, is claimed by Mr. Hazeltine, the veteran numismatist, to be an abso- lutely genuine specimen struck in 1804. However, with all facts before me and a careful comparison of the different dies, 1 am of the opinion that the specimen here offered is of the so- called Re-strikes — from the original 1804 obverse die, the same as the Lyman, Idler and Rosenberg specimens. As there are only but five or six known in all, and of these, I believe, this is the only remaining one that is "purchasable", I consider it of great rarity and high value; worthy of a home in the most extensive and prominent collections of American coins. 395 1836 Liberty seated to right, head turned to left, right hand resting on shield on which is a band inscribed LIBERTY; a staff with Liberty cap in left hand, date below; C.

Reverse, a broad shield, nearly sur- rounding it, the legend, * E * PLURIBUS * UNUM *. Maris No. 3-C. Extremely fine, bold impression, with a beautiful even, slightly glossy, olive surface. A beautiful specimen of this great rarity of which only six specimens are known. From the famous Parmelee Collection. This is the first specimen of this rarity to pass through my hands. I am unable to find any record of a specimen having been offered since this iden- tical piece was sold at auction in the Parmelee Sale, over thirty years ago ! Such collections as the Stickney, Earle, Jackman and other great collections which were rich in rare Colonials, did not have a specimen of this rarity. Plate. Lot No. 761. The FAMOUS "NEW JERSEY WASHINGTON CENT." UNDOUBTEDLY the RAREST of ALL COINS ATTRIB- UTED to the AMERICAN COLONIAL SERIES. New Jersey: Cent: Bust of Washington with queue facing to right: legend, GEN. WASHINGTON. Reverse, a broad shield, around, * E * PLURIBUS * UNUM * nearly sur- rounding the shield. The reverse die appears to be from the identical die as that of the New Jersey Immunis Columbia Cent. Lot No. 760. Maris number 4-C. Fine. A pin-point nick in reverse field at right standard of N. Well struck.. Of greatest rarity. Plate. In describing this great coin in his excellent work on the coin- age of New Jersey, Dr. Maris states : "The ONLY ONE known to collectors, was found in Philadelphia, and is now (1880) owned by S. S. Crosby of Boston." The specimen here offered is the identical one referred to. On the box in which this coin was kept by Mr. Ten Eyck, there is the following notation: "H. P. S. (Harlan P. Smith), from P. (Parmelee) Sale, $250.00". In the famous Parmelee Sale this identical coin was catalog- ed as "No Duplicate Known." Since the discovery of this great rarity, about fifty years ago, this is only the second time that it is offered at auction, and has, apparently, only changed hands a total of three or four times. What a wonderful array of previous distinguished own- ers, Crosby, Parmelee, Harlan P. Smith, and James Ten Eyck! This in itself adds a luster of greatness to the coin. The last "record" for this coin, made over thirty years ago, is of course, Coins of New Jersey. 61 no criterion as to its present worth. There is certainly no coin in any series which surpasses this Washington Cent in rarity; be it the Brasher Doubloon, the 1815 Half Eagle, or any other rarity with records well up in the four-figure mark. I am confident that the appearance of this great rarity on the market will be appreciated by the collectors and that its new "record" will undoubtedly have — in the words of one of my nu- mismatic "colleagues" — another cipher added to its last record. Lot No. 762. The UNIQUE NEW JERSEY CENT, MARIS 8-F. 1786 Cent. Small bust of horse facing to right, a plow below. Legend, NOVA CAESAREA. The date, 1786 UNDER THE BEAM. The date curves upwards, period after CAESAREA. Reverse, large broad shield, rounded; legend, * E * PLURI- BUS * UNUM * nearly surrounding shield. Maris 8-F. Very fine. I doubt if the piece has seen very much circulation; an even medium olive surface and a fine bold impression. UNIQUE. From the Parmelee Collection. Plate. It appears that even Dr. Maris did not have a specimen to illustrate in his work. The illustration in his plate, as stated in the Parmelee catalog, must have been taken from a very bad casting, as it fails to show the beauty of this original. Even in 1890, thirty-two years ago when the Parmelee Collection was sold, this identical coin brought $212.00. "Another cipher" to this record would not be exceeding the true worth of this great rarity. 763 1786 Cent. Type similar to last, but date below plow. Maris 14-J.

Crosby, on page 345, states that at that time, 1875, but one specimen was known in brass and that was owned by Mr. Parmelee, (this identical coin). However, since then, another specimen was discovered which was in the Charles Morris Col- lection and recently in the Jenks' sale where is brought $82.50, purchased by a dealer It is claimed by some that this coin contains the earliest display of the American eagle One of the most interesting of the early American coins. The second specimen to be offered in thirty years. 6Q Coins of New York. NON VI VIRTUTE VICI. CENT. 814 1786 Cent. Obverse, bust in military costume, probably in- tended for George Washington, facing to right ; legend, NON VI VIRTUTE VICI, (Not by force but by manhood have I conquered). Reverse, Liberty seated to right, holding staff with Libertv cap in right hand and scales of justice in left, date below; legend, NEO EBORACENSIS, (New York). Crosby, plate VIII. , No. 4. Very fine ; broad planchet, strong impres- sion : An even medium olive surface. Extremely rare. Prob- ably not more than eight or ten known. Plate. LIBER NATUS LIBERTATEM DEFENDO, CENT. 815 1787 Cent. Indian standing facing to left, raised tomahawk in right hand, his left holding a bow; legend, LIBER NATUS LIBERTATEM DEFENDO, (Born free I defend Liberty). Reverse, an eagle (rather crude representation) with outstretch- ed wings, standing on section of a globe ; legend, NEO-EBORA- CUS 1787 EXCELSIOR. Crosby plate VIII. , No. 7, but on much larger planchet, size 30 mm. Planchet hammered a trifle too thin on right lower edge, preventing the tops of END from being as sharply struck as balance of legend. Uncirculated, with traces of red. Crosby, on page 322, states but three known. Excessively rare. Of those that have appeared at auction in the past thirty years, this is by far the finest. Its record ranges from $300.00 to $850.00. One of the real great rarities of this sale. From the Parmelee collection. Plate. LIBER NATUS LIBERTATEM DEFENDO, CENT. 816 1787 Cent. Obverse, same as last: Reverse, arms of New York, oval shield within which the sun rising behind mountains, sea in foreground surmounted by an eagle facing right; figure of Liberty on left and that of Justice on right, 1787 EXCEL- SIOR below.

Fine to very fine; struck over another Colonial coin, parts of which are visible. Strong impression, with even dark olive, slightly glossy surface. Well centered and free from any nicks or dents. Crosby, Plate VIII., No. 4. Of greatest rarity ; only about six specimens known and of these, most are forever removed from the market. Since the Parmelee Sale, I believe only one specimen appeared at auction, the one in the Jackman Sale, which was cataloged as better than this specimen, and which brought $470.00. Plate. NOVA EBORAC CENTS. 818 1787 Cent. Mailed and laureated bust facing to right, NOVA on left, EBORA on right: Reverse, Liberty seated to left, staff with Liberty cap in left hand and an olive sprig in left, date below: legend, VIRT. ET LIB. Plain edge and borders. Cros- by, Plate VIII., No. 11. UNCIRCULATED, with traces of orig- inal red ; a beautiful even light brown surface. While this is not a very rare variety, but I consider it excessively rare in this wonderful condition. Cost $20.00 many years ago. 819 1787 Cent. Just as last. Fine, but reverse not very bold. Me- dium olive surface. Scarce. 820 1787 Cent. Variety with Liberty seated to right. Crosby, Plate VIII. , No. 10. Fine for coin. Scarce. 821 New York Cents, 1787, types as last. Fair to good. 6 pes.

Coins of New Hampshire and Virginia. 69 The EXCESSIVELY RARE NEW HAMSHIRE CENT. 831 (1776) Cent. Obverse, a pine tree, AMERICAN LIBERTY: Reverse, harp turned to left. Crosby, Plate VI., No. 3 When Mr. Crosby prepared his excellent work on the Colonial coinage, he only knew of one specimen of this rarity. The coin here offered is a much better specimen than the one illustrated by Crosby. I believe that this sepcimen and the one known to Mr. Crosby, which afterwards sold in the Stickney Sale, m 1907, are the only two known specimens, and this by far the best. New Hampshire was the first State to consider a coin- age, after the Declaration of Independence. Excessively rare and of great numismatic and historical value. The specimen sold in the Stickney Sale, fifteen years ago, and the specimen now here offered, are, I believe, the only specimens which have ever appeared on the market. COINAGE of VIRGINIA. Lot No. 832. The EXCESSIVELY RARE VIRGINIA SHILLING. 1774 Shilling. Laureated bust of George III. facing right: Legend, GEORGIVS. Ill DEI. GRATIA. The bust is much larger and of an entirely different design than that on the Half- penny. Reverse, crowned shield of arms dividing the date, 1774 and VIRGINIA. Plain edge. Silver. Proof. Crosby, Plate IX., No. 4. Of excessive rarity. Only three specimens known. Since the Parmelee Sale, in 1890, only one of the three speci- mens appeared at auction, in 1908. It brought at that time $505.00; a record which I believe will be exceeded at this time. Plate. Lot No. 833. The ALMOST UNIQUE GLOUCESTER COURT HOUSE SHILLING. 1714. Shilling. Obverse; a large five-pointed star in center; around, RIC(HARD) DAWSON. ANNO. DOM. 1714. Re- verse, view of Gloucester Court House: XII. for 12 pence, or shilling, below: Around, GLOVCESTER. CO (---) VIR- GINIA. Brass. The coin as a whole can be classed as very fair, but most of the legend is very good. Crosby, Plate IX., No. 4. This specimen appears to be much better than the one illustrated by Crosby. On page 323, Crosby states that only two specimens are known, in the collections of George W. Cram, of Norwalk, Conn., and L. G. Parmelee, of Boston. This is the Parmelee specimen. No other specimens have come to light since the publication of Mr. Crosby's work, nearly a half century ago. This is the only specimen that has appeared on the market and here offered for the first time in thirty-two years. Its rarity and value is of equal rank with that of almost any of our very rarest and most valuable Colonial coins. Plate. 70 Virginia Penny and Halfpenny: Washington Coins. 834 Virginia, Penny, 1773. Laureated bust of George III. facing right, similar to but smaller than that on the silver shilling : GEORGIVS III. REX. Reverse, large crowned shield dividing date and VIRGINIA. Borders of dots; plain edge. Crosby, Plate IX., No. 10. Uncirculated, dark olive surface. Very rare, more so than is generally known 835 1773 Halfpenny or Half Cent. Same type as last but smaller planchet and plain borders. Uncirculated, mint red. Scarce so choice. 836 1773 Half Cents, as last. Fair and good. 2 pes. COINS with PORTRAIT of GEORGE WASHINGTON.

Obverse, bust of Washington with queue facing to right ; around, GEN. WASHINGTON. Reverse, thirteen six-pointed stars within a radiant circle : Around, CON- FEDERATIO. 1785. Plain borders and edge. Very good, fairly strong impression ; even brown surface. Crosby, Plate VII., No. 14. This specimen by far excelling the one illlustrated in Crosby. ONLY TWO KNOWN, and this by far the finest. From the Parmelee collection. The other specimen appeared at auction some two years ago. This is the only record since the Parmelee Collection was sold in 1890. With the numerous great rarities in this wonderful collection, it is difficult to select any outstanding rarity, but considering the history of this piece, its superior condition to the only other known specimen, I con- sider it well worthy of a record well up in the four-figure mark. Plate. The WASHINGTON HALF-DOLAR in SILVER. 838 1792 Half Dollar. Military bust of Washington facing to left, date below: G. WASHINGTON.. PRESIDENT. I. Reverse, small heraldic eagle with U. S. shield on breast, an olive branch in right talon and six arrows in left; fifteen five-pointed stars about its head. Around, . UNITED STATES OF AMER- ICA. Plain edge. The field in obverse, before bust, has very lightly scratched out, "June 1806." This is hardly noticeable. The coin as a whole is strictly very good ; the reverse being struck so boldly that it can be classed as fine. Crosby, Plate X., No. 8 ; page 357, No. 100. Excessively rare. Plate. Coins with Portrait of Washington. 71 The WASHINGTON "NAKED BUST" CENT. 839 1792 Cent. Nude bust of Washington facing to right, hair bound with ribbon; Legend, WASHINGTON PRESIDENT. 1792.

Crosby, Plate X, No. 9. Extreme- ly fine, was struck as a proof and now has a beautiful even glossy olive surface. A magnificent specimen and of extreme rarity. Only about eight or ten known. The first I have ever offered. Plate. Lot No. 840. CURIOUS, UNIQUE "WASHINGTON" CENT. (no date) Obverse, laureated and draped bust of George III. facing to left ; GEORGIVS III DEI GRATIA : Reverse, her- aldic eagle with shield on breast, an olive branch in right talon and a bundle of arrows in left ; scroll in beak inscribed, UNUM E. PLURIBUS. Above, ONE CENT. Obverse is with dotted border; reverse is with milled border: Edge is engrailed. Copper; size 31'/2 mm. Uncirculated; with glossy olive sur- face. The obverse is very slightly pitted. The reverse, while of the same type as the large eagle Washington Cent, Crosby, Plate X., No. 5, is of a slightly different die. The only refer- ence I can find regarding this curious coin is in Crosby, Page 354, where it states, "a curious and probably unique medal with reverse A, is in the collection of Mr. James E. Root, of Boston : * * this obverse is illustrated in the Clay catalog." Plate. The Clay catalog referred to by Crosby is of the famous col- lection of Dr. Charles Clay, of Manchester, England, whose wonderful collection of American Colonial coins was undoubt- edly as a whole, the greatest aggregation of Colonial rarities ever brought together. The collection was cataloged by one of our pioneer numismatists, W. H. Strobridge, and sold in New York by Geo. A. Leavitte & Co. on Dec. 5, 6 and 7, 1871. Fortunately, I have a complete plate, but only partially priced catalog of this famous collection, where I note this coin cataloged as lot No. 996, listed under the head of "COINS, MEDALS AND TOKENS RELATING TO WASHING- TON". Here is the complete description and notation as it appears in the Clay catalog: "LARGE EAGLE CENT, without date; obv. laureated head of George III. with long hair; "Georgius III Dei Gratia." Rev. same as one type of the Washington Cent, of 1791; edge engrailed; splendid altogether in design, exe- . cution and preservation. Size 20. NOTE. — We are under the impression that this piece 72 Washington Coins : Americana-Confederatio. holds the first place in the heart of the present owner; he says, it is admitted by all who have seen it, to be unique, and has excited the envy of all the collectors in England." While I am unable to state whether or not the specimen here offered is the one from the Clay Collection, but after a diligent search through catalogs and records extending for a period of over half a century, I fail to find any other mention of this curious and great rarity. I feel quite certain that it is the specimen sold in the Clay collection, over fifty years ago ! My copy of the Clay catalog does not give the price this rarity sold for, but I unhesitatingly class it among our most in- teresting and rarest Colonial coins, and of the highest value.

Crosby, page 306, Fig. 50. Fine. While little is known of the history of this piece, but I believe it of much later period than its date. It does not have the appearance of an official or authorized issue and believe that it is of private origin for either speculative or questionable purpose. But since Mr. Crosby thought it worthy to be included in his ex- cellent work, it is usually placed with the Colonial series. U. S. A. BAR CENT. 855 Cent (1791). U. S.

"Pattern pieces represent one of the most interesting sections of the coinage of the United States. They embrace the many metallic attempts of the designers of the mint to produce a coin containing a new device, motto or plan of coinage. These pieces excite the warmest interest on the part of collectors, and a possessor of a fairly complete set of Pattern coins may be said to own a metallic history of the United States coinage." The "A-W" numbers refer to the wonderful book of Adams-Woodln on the Pattern Coins. PATTERN TEN-DOLLAR PIECES. 1052 1878 $10.00. Barber's design. Fine head of Liberty. Re- verse, small eagle.

These interesting tokens were issued and passed current in 1832 to 1841. Their issue was prompted by the Currency question, which was then a great political issue. Nearly all bear inscriptions politically significant. Numbered according to Mr. Low's work on the subject, 1899 and sup- plement 1906. The following collection of Jackson Cents is one of the most complete that has ever been offered. From what I can learn, Mr. Ten Eyck purchased this collection in its entirety. One gentleman informed me that this is the famous Colbourne Collection, purchased by Mr. Ten Eyck about 1879. 1089 (1832) Low No. 1. Head of Jackson to right, ANDREW JACKSON: Reverse, wreath enclosing, in six lines, THE UNION MUST AND SHALL BE PRESERVED: Around, THE BANK MUST PERISH. Milled edge. Extremely fine, but unfortunately holed at top. An even light olive surface. Excessively rare. 1090 L. No. 1 in white metal, numbered Low 165. Same general type as last, but the head is of an entirely different die. Re- verse is also of a different, although slightly, die. Planchet is a trifle larger and thicker; the milled borders are much broader. Holed at top, I believe as issued. Uncirculated, with mint luster. Classed as Rarity 8. Although it is men- tioned in Mr. Low's work, I can find no record of its previous sale, and I have never before seen nor heard of another speci- men. While I would not classify this specimen as unique, but I doubt very much if another is known. Plate. 1091 L. No. 4. Laureated and draped bust of Jackson.

Similar to No. 58, but with CURRENT instead of CURRENCY. Extremely fine. 1143 L. No. 62. STRUCK IN SILVER. Type as last, but bolder impression. This piece must have been carried as a pocket piece, as it shows a little wear, and owing to its bold impres- sion, this wear is more noticeable, especially on reverse, where the word EXPERIMENT on the ship is practically worn off or was not struck up. Otherwise the coin can be classed as very fine. Believed to be unique! In Mr. Low's work on these tokens, it is mentioned, "This number (62) was also struck in silver, and like its companion No. 19, probably on the same occasion, and it is believed to be unique." As usual, I will undoubtedly receive a number of inquiries as to what I think this number, as well as L. No. 19 in silver and L. No. 1 in white metal, will bring. It is a very difficult matter to estimate just what such rarities will realize.. If these numbers are unique, as I believe them to be, they are as rare and as valuable as any token of the series, one of which, No. 152, was recently purchased by me for stock at $560.00. However, since these numbers are not specifically different 92 Hard Times Tokens or Jackson Cents. types but are varieties of metal, I do not consider them as valuable as a distinct different type. But I do believe them to be of the greatest rarity and worthy of a record up in the three figure mark. 1144 L. No. 63. Obverse, similar to 58 with reverse as 44. Fine, but surface slightly patinated.

I am un- able to even find it in some of the very largest European auc- tion catalogs. It is the first of the large silver coins ever struck. I consider it by far the rarest coin of the foreign section of this wonderful collection, and one of the very rarest coins of the world. 1841 1612, Henry Julius, broad double Crown.

The EXCEEDINGLY RARE "HAPPY WHILE UNITED" MEDAL. 1764 Medal given to Indian Chief. Obverse, about half-length bust, young type, of George III., in high relief, facing to right, laureated and wearing wide band of ribbon from left shoulder across to his breast: Legend, GEORGIUS III, D. G. BRI. FRA. ET. HIB. REX. F. D. Reverse, an Indian Chief, on his left an officer, both seated on a bench ; the officer wearing a cocked hat of the period, the Indian holds a long pipe in his left hand, with his right he graps the hand of the officer. A large tree at Indian's right : Legend, above, HAPPY WHILE UNITED. Below, the date, 1764. In field, directly above the officer's head, is stamped in an incused punchmark, N : YORK. Directly to right, in another smaller horizontally oval punchmark is counterstamped DCF, (initials of artist or silversmith.) The loop for suspension is formed of an eagle's wing and a pipe. Silver. Size 55. Made by casting and then chased. Betts No. 511. Unknown to Le- roux, — not in his work. Of greatest rarity. This specimen has apparently been worn considerably by its original owner, the Indian Chief, who received it. However, the legend, date and principle features are all very plain. Also fortunatly, it is free from any serious scratches or defects. Its general even evidence of wear lends an interest or enchant- ment to it, proving as it does of its absolute genuineness and previous ownership by one of the great Indian Chiefs. It is of the greatest rarity and of utmost historical as well as of numis- matic interest. This is the first specimen that has ever been handled by me. I know of only one other, of slightly differ- ent variety, having been offered at auction, but of this partic- ular variety, I can find no record of another specimen. 172 Indian Peace Medals. LARGE GEORGE III. INDIAN MEDAL. 2440 (1762). Obverse, youthful bust of George III., facing right, in armor, wearing ribbon of the order of the Garter ; seven rivets on the front of the breast-plate ; the hair in a single large curl over the ear. Legend, GEORGIUS III. DEI GRATIA. Die break across right shoulder and half way toward I in GEOR- GIUS. Reverse, oval shield of arms, in high relief, within Garter surmounted by a large crown, and supported by a lion on left and unicorn on right : HONI. SOIT. QUI. MAL. Y. PENSE. Below on a ribbon, the motto, DIEU. ET. MON. DROIT. On the right of ribbon, a thistle ; on the left a rose. Borders are plain, slightly raised, similar to "wire edge." Small hole at top, as issued, where loop has been removed. Size 79. Betts No. 437. McLachlan No. CCXCII. This medal was supposed to have been struck for distribution among the Indian Chiefs of Canada at the close of the French and Indian War. Usual light nicks and few scratches; very small portion of obverse field slightly eroded, but as a whole shows little wear. An imposing medal. Excessively rare. UNIQUE INDIAN MEDAL. 2441 1776. Silver medal of George III. Youthful bust of the King in armor, facing left, draped ; hair tied with bow, and flowing locks below: GEORGIVS. TERTIVS. REX. Reverse, Bri- tannia standing, facing, with staff and cap in right hand, left resting on cornucopiae, anchor and shield at her left; reclining lion at her right ; FELICITAS BRITANNIAE. Below, date, in Roman letters, MDCCLX. The entire medal is encased or framed in a heavy circular copper frame with raised borders ; the inner border is milled while the outer border is plain. In the margin, on the copper frame, is engraved, in script letters, — "To John Oteronghyanente, a faithful Mohock Warrior. 1776." The silver medal is size 41, while the complete medal with frame, measures 70 mm. The loop is of wire soldered to the edge of the frame. Apparently this medal must have been found in a grave, as the silver part shows signs of having been buried quite a long while. Lightly scratched on obverse, but as a whole can be classed as about fine. As far as I know, and have been able to learn, this medal is unique. Have never before heard of this particular type of Indian medal nor can I find any mention of it in reference works relating to the subject. I con- sider it doubly interesting due to its odd and curious variety as well as to its historical and numismatic interest. 173 MEDALS with PORTRAITS of GEORGE WASHINGTON. 2442 Commemorating Signing of the Declaration of Independence.
