Silver dollars open Legend sale

Silver dollars will open a two-day, 855-lot Legend Rare Coin Auction Regency sale May 16-17.

It is the official auction for the May 2018 PCGS Member’s Show at Harrah’s in New Orleans.

“Silver Dollar Day” will be anchored by the P.F.M. Collection of Morgan dollars and the Crow River Peace Dollar Collection, according to the firm. Selections from the Aurora Borealis Collection serves as the backbone to the event’s toned dollar section.

“The P.F.M. Collection is the current No. 6 set on the PCGS Registry, and features many exceptional gem quality coins,” said Julie Abrams, the firm’s president.

“The Crow River Collection was assembled by the same collector who put together the record-shattering set of $10 Indians that Legend Auctions sold last October,” Abrams said.

The second day of the sale runs from early copper to gold and patterns.

Gold coins make up a great portion of the sale. A complete set of Classic Head quarter eagles, the Oak Crest Collection of Carson City Half Eagles, and individual high-grade and rare-date gold coins broaden the depth of the offering, including a decent selection of early half eagles.

“Whether you collect early type coins, 19th century proofs, rare-date gold, or neat pattern coins, there is a wide range of coins at all price points,” said Greg Cohen, Senior Numismatist of Legend Auctions. “Collectors will have, in some cases, once-in-a-decade (or more) opportunities to acquire great coins for their cabinets.”

Viewpoint: PNG warns bullion buyers of risks

Editor’s Note: The following is a warning issued by the Professional Numismatists Guild. Following the recent fraud charges filed by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission against a California gold seller, a trade group composed of veteran precious metals experts is urging investors to take three important steps before making any purchases of gold, silver or platinum bullion coins or ingots. “To avoid paying too much when you buy or receiving too little when you sell, and to avoid potential scams, investors absolutely must know the credentials of the bullion dealer, not just what the dealer may tout on TV advertisements or with a fancy website,” cautioned Barry Stuppler of Woodland Hills, California, President of the nonprofit Professional Numismatists Guild ( www.PNGdealers.org ). “If you don’t know gold, you’d better know your gold dealer,” Stuppler emphasized. The Temecula, California-based Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG) was founded in 1955. Two years ago, PNG establ...
