Heritage 2023 年 1 月 FUN US Coins Signature® 拍卖会跻身有史以来举办的顶级钱币活动之列

精英私人收藏的数量和质量在任何拍卖会上都罕见，有可能使 Heritage 1 月 15 日至 19 日举办的 FUN US Coins Signature® 拍卖会成为有史以来举行的顶级钱币活动。

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

精英私人收藏将在 Heritage 一月 FUN 美国硬币签名拍卖会上展出。

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鲁斯·谢尔曼 (Bruce Sherman) 的收藏，他是迈阿密马林鱼队的主席和主要所有者，也是一位对钱币学有着浓厚兴趣的充满热情的历史学家。

“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.”

“布鲁斯·谢尔曼的钱币收藏是钱币学领域最卓越的成就之一，这不仅证明了他的热情，也证明了他对质量和稀有性的非凡眼光，”Heritage Auctions 总裁格雷格·罗汉 (Greg Rohan) 说道。 “我们非常自豪能够向收藏界展示这些珍品，因为这一千载难逢的藏品必将吸引和激励世界各地的收藏家。”

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.

该系列中的顶级产品包括 1894-S Barber Dime，Branch Mint PR66 PCGS。 CAC 是美国钱币中的经典珍品，通常与 1804 年美元和 1913 年自由镍币并称为美国钱币稀有品的“三巨头”。 1894-S 也是整个 Barber 系列中最著名、最神秘、最难以捉摸的硬币。如今，收藏家所知道的 1894-S 枚硬币不超过 9 枚，甚至可能只有 8 枚，本次拍卖中提供的硬币均获得 PCGS 的最佳认证，这是登记组的一个重要考虑因素。它的出处非同寻常，之前曾被约翰·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 的收藏中还包括一枚 1792 年银质中心美分 Judd-1 SP45+ PCGS CAC，这是一种双金属硬币，与任何美国硬币一样具有重要的历史意义。这枚硬币是 1965 年由一名承包商在宾夕法尼亚州多伊尔斯敦的建筑翻修过程中发现的。收藏家已知的硬币仅有 12 枚，这使得银币中心美分硬币成为该图案系列中具有里程碑意义的稀有硬币。其中一枚被纳入史密森尼学会的国家钱币收藏，进一步减少了该币的发行量。

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.

展出的还有来自密西西比双鹰收藏的价值 20 美元的金币，由一位深知状况、完整性和稀有性重要性的收藏家花费了半个多世纪的时间打造而成。双鹰对于美国精英硬币的严肃收藏家来说至关重要，他们会在这个收藏中找到所有关键日期且状况良好的硬币。

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.

该系列中的顶级产品包括 1927 年圣高登斯双鹰 (Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle)，MS65+ PCGS。 CAC 是最稀有的常规发行的 20 世纪美国铜币、银币或金币。它是收藏公众可能接触到的仅有的七个样本之一，也是仅存的 12 或 13 个样本之一。

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，还有一枚 1883 年双鹰币仅 92 枚精制样币中的第二枚，PR66 Deep Cameo PCGS，该币于 1901 年 5 月首次出现在 Ed Frossard 的 Howard Newcomb 和 Edmund R. Wolcott 藏品目录中，其中被简单地描述为“1883 年的辉煌证明”。这件作品以 22 美元的价格卖给了克拉普，他的收藏在他去世后传给了他的儿子约翰·H·克拉普 (John H. Clapp)，后者一直保留着这些藏品，直到他 1940 年去世。克拉普庄园将这批藏品原封不动地卖给了巴尔的摩金融家路易斯·E·埃利亚斯伯格 (Louis E. Eliasberg)。 1942年创纪录的私人交易。

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 年圣高登斯双鹰只有一枚是合法拥有的，这使得 1932 年圣高登斯 20 MS64 PCGS CAC 成为这个极其受欢迎的系列的最后一期收藏品。尽管据报道发行量超过 110 万枚，1932 年双鹰币却是整个系列中最难以捉摸的发行之一。所提供的示例是 64 级中仅有的 33 个分级之一（64+ 中的四个），只有 43 个更精细。
