Did you know Stack’s Bowers Galleries is featuring
the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection at our official auction of the Whitman Coin and
Collectibles Spring Expo? The A.J. Vanderbilt
Collection had its beginning in 1936 when its collector started buying coins
from Stack’s at the age of 15. He continued filling holes in the collection
until his recent passing at the age of 96. He built marvelous sets focused on
25 specific years in U.S. numismatics, with the goal of acquiring high quality
circulation strike examples of every date and mintmark combination and major
type of every denomination struck in those years. In addition, he gathered a
Proof type set in gold, silver and base metals, as well as complete sets of
gold and silver classic commemoratives. Among the many highlights of the
Vanderbilt Collection are a 1795 $5 with Heraldic Eagle reverse graded MS-62
(PCGS) (CAC) and an 1874-CC dime from the R.L. Miles Collection graded MS-63
(PCGS). For paper money enthusiasts the Vanderbilt Collection features a nearly
complete set of design types of the $1, $2, and $5 Large Size notes, all in
high grade.
