Heritage 2023 年 1 月 FUN US Coins Signature® 拍賣會躋身有史以來舉辦的頂級錢幣活動之列

精英私人收藏的數量和品質在任何拍賣會上都罕見，有可能使 Heritage 1 月 15 日至 19 日舉辦的 FUN US Coins Signature® 拍賣會成為有史以來舉行的頂級錢幣活動。

Elite private collections will be offered in Heritage’s January FUN US Coins Signature Auction.

精英私人收藏將在 Heritage 一月 FUN 美國硬幣簽名拍賣會上展出。

Among the top attractions is the collection of Bruce Sherman, the chairman and principal owner of the Miami Marlins who also is a passionate historian with a keen interest in numismatics.

其中最引人注目的是布魯斯謝爾曼 (Bruce Sherman) 的收藏，他是邁阿密馬林魚隊的主席和主要所有者，也是一位對錢幣學有著濃厚興趣的充滿熱情的歷史學家。

“Bruce Sherman’s coin collection stands as one of the most remarkable achievements in numismatics, a testament not only to his passion but to his extraordinary eye for quality and rarity,” says Heritage Auctions President Greg Rohan. “We are immensely proud to present these treasures to the collecting community, as this once-in-a-lifetime offering is sure to captivate and inspire collectors around the world.”

「布魯斯謝爾曼的錢幣收藏是錢幣學領域最卓越的成就之一，這不僅證明了他的熱情，也證明了他對品質和稀有性的非凡眼光，」Heritage Auctions 總裁格雷格·羅漢( Greg Rohan) 說。 “我們非常自豪能夠向收藏界展示這些珍品，因為這一千載難逢的藏品必將吸引和激勵世界各地的收藏家。”

Among the top offerings in the collection is an 1894-S Barber Dime, Branch Mint PR66 PCGS. CAC that is a classic rarity in American coinage, often grouped with the 1804 dollar and the 1913 Liberty nickel as “The Big Three” of United States numismatic rarities. The 1894-S also is the most famous, mysterious and elusive coin in the entire Barber series. No more than nine, and possibly only eight, examples of the 1894-S are known to collectors today, and the coin offered in this auction is tied for finest-certified at PCGS, an important consideration for Registry Set purposes. Its provenance is extraordinary, with previous stints in the collections of John M. Clapp, Louis Eisenberg and James A. Stack.

該系列中的頂級產品包括 1894-S Barber Dime，Branch Mint PR66 PCGS。 CAC 是美國錢幣中的經典珍品，通常與 1804 年美元和 1913 年自由鎳幣並稱為美國錢幣稀有品的「三巨頭」。 1894-S 也是整個 Barber 系列中最著名、最神秘、最難以捉摸的硬幣。如今，收藏家所知道的 1894-S 枚硬幣不超過 9 枚，甚至可能只有 8 枚，本次拍賣中提供的硬幣均獲得 PCGS 的最佳認證，這是登記組的一個重要考慮因素。它的出處非同尋常，之前曾由約翰·M·克拉普 (John M. Clapp)、路易斯·艾森伯格 (Louis Eisenberg) 和詹姆斯·A·斯塔克 (James A. Stack) 收藏。

Also from Sherman’s collection comes a 1792 Silver Center Cent, Judd-1, SP45+ PCGS CAC, a bimetallic coin that is as historically important as just about any American coin. This coin was discovered by a contractor during a building renovation in Doylestown, Pennsylvania in 1965. Just 12 examples are known to collectors, making the Silver Center cent a landmark rarity in the pattern series. One is included in the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution, further reducing the availability of the issue.

Sherman 的收藏中還包括一枚 1792 年銀色中心美分 Judd-1 SP45+ PCGS CAC，這是一種雙金屬硬幣，與任何美國硬幣一樣具有重要的歷史意義。這枚硬幣是1965 年由一名承包商在賓夕法尼亞州多伊爾斯敦的建築翻修過程中發現的。具有里程碑意義的稀有硬幣。其中一枚被納入史密森尼學會的國家錢幣收藏，進一步減少了該發行品的可用性。

Also in play is an exceptional collection of $20 gold coins from the Mississippi Collection of Double Eagles built over more than half a century by a collector who understood the importance of condition, completeness and rarity. Double eagles are of utmost importance to serious collectors of elite American coins, who will find all of the key dates, and in top condition, in this collection.

展出的還有來自密西西比雙鷹收藏的價值 20 美元的金幣，由一位深知狀況、完整性和稀有性重要性的收藏家花費了半個多世紀的時間打造而成。雙鷹對於美國精英硬幣的嚴肅收藏家來說至關重要，他們會在這個收藏中找到所有關鍵日期且狀況良好的硬幣。

Among the top offerings in the collection is a 1927-D Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle, MS65+ PCGS. CAC that is the rarest regular-issue copper, silver or gold 20th-century American coin. It is one of just seven examples likely within reach of the collecting public, and one of an entire surviving population of just 12 or 13.

系列中的頂級產品包括 1927 年聖高登斯雙鷹 (Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle)，MS65+ PCGS。 CAC 是最稀有的常規發行的 20 世紀美國銅幣、銀幣或金幣。它是收藏大眾可能接觸到的僅有的七個樣本之一，也是僅存的 12 或 13 個樣本之一。

Also available is the second-finest among just 92 proof-only examples struck of an 1883 Double Eagle, PR66 Deep Cameo PCGS that first surfaced in Ed Frossard’s catalog of the Howard Newcomb and Edmund R. Wolcott Collections in May of 1901, in which it was described simply as, “1883 Brilliant proof.” It was sold for $22 to Clapp, whose collection was passed down after his death to his son, John H. Clapp, who kept it until he died in 1940. The Clapp Estate sold the collection intact to Baltimore financier Louis E. Eliasberg in a record-setting private transaction in 1942.

此外，還有一枚1883 年雙鷹幣僅92 枚精製樣幣中的第二枚，PR66 Deep Cameo PCGS，該幣於1901 年5 月首次出現在Ed Frossard 的Howard Newcomb 和Edmund R. Wolcott 藏品目錄中，其中被簡單地描述為“1883 年的輝煌證明”。這件作品以22 美元的價格賣給了克拉普，他的收藏在他去世後傳給了他的兒子約翰·H·克拉普(John H. Clapp)，後者一直保留著這些藏品，直到他1940 年去世。

Only one example of the 1933 Saint-Gaudens double eagle is legal to own, making the 1932 Saint-Gaudens Twenty, MS64 PCGS CAC the final collectible issue of the extremely popular series. Despite a substantial reported mintage of more than 1.1 million pieces, the 1932 double eagle is one of the most elusive issues of the entire series. The offered example is one of just 33 graded in 64 (four in 64+), with only 43 finer.

1933 年聖高登斯雙鷹只有一枚是合法擁有的，這使得 1932 年聖高登斯 20 MS64 PCGS CAC 成為這個極其受歡迎的系列的最後一期收藏品。儘管據報道發行量超過 110 萬枚，1932 年雙鷹幣是整個系列中最難以捉摸的發行之一。所提供的範例是 64 級中僅有的 33 個分級之一（64+ 中的四個），只有 43 個更精細。

Don Kutz California Collection

唐庫茨加州收藏
