Did
you know that the Stack’s Bowers Galleries March 2018 Baltimore Auction
features an array of colorfully toned coins across nearly every series? Colonial
collectors will be delighted by the 1670-A 5 sols in lot 3014
that offers both incredible rarity and beautiful color. The key date Gem 1909-S
V.D.B. Lincoln cent in lot 3232
displays vibrant color for the issue. Lot 3274
presents a gorgeous toned Gem Proof 1870 silver three-cent piece from a mintage
of just 1,000 pieces. A Gem Proof 1870 Liberty Seated quarter in lot 3364
sports a gold CAC sticker in addition to a lovely rainbow patina. Fans of bull’s
eye toning will appreciate the 1903-S Barber quarter in lot 3372
that also earned a green CAC sticker. The 1801 O-102 Draped Bust half dollar
from the Sutton Court Collection in lot 3392
displays vivid coloration and a Ratity-4+ rating. A wild display of neon color is
seen on the obverse of the 1879-S Morgan dollar in lot 3590,
and contrasts with the brilliant reverse. Peace dollar specialists will be
thrilled by the 1923 in lot 3692
that exhibits rich toning on both sides, a feature seldom encountered in this
series.
The
A.J. Vanderbilt Collection offers several beautifully toned jewels that have
been off the market for decades. These include the Choice Mint State 1820
Capped Bust quarter with intense rainbow toning in lot 10144,
and the near-Gem 1813 Capped Bust half dollar in lot 10194
that offers rich shades of sapphire and gold.
Lot 2233
of the Rarities Night session features an amazing crescent-toned 1882-CC Morgan
dollar certified MS-67* (NGC), surely among the most pristine examples to
display such beautiful color. The parade of beautiful patina continues into our
Internet Only session and includes such remarkable pieces as the colorful Gem
1856 Braided Hair cent in lot 5863
and an incredible two-sided “monster toned” Proof 1868 Liberty Seated half dime
in lot 6186
(in a desirable old green PCGS holder).
