Rare Trade dollar in auction

Appearing at public auction for the first time since 1997 is one of five examples of the 1885 Trade dollar that will be offered by Heritage Auctions Jan. 11, 2019, at the Florida United Numismatists convention in Orlando.

How many millions of dollars will it take for a buyer to walk away on Jan. 11, 2019, with an 1885 Trade dollar that will highlight Heritage Auctions’ Florida United Numismatists convention sale?

The firm notes that this PR66 coin had sold in a private-treaty transaction in 2006 for $3.3 million.

There are only five examples of this rarity known to collectors. Records are non-existant, but Heritage speculates it was probably struck between January and June 1885 before a crackdown occurred at the Mint on sales of patterns and restrikes.

No one knows whether this coin was struck legitimately or clandestinely. It is as rare as a 1913 Liberty Head nickel and as mysterious. It has a stellar pedigree, with previous owners including Louis E. Eliasberg Sr., the Baltimore banker who is the only person ever to have assembled a complete collection of U.S. coins.

Other highlights include Part I of The Alan V. Weinberg Collection.

Traditional craft of India: Handicrafts on Stamps Part II

Despite rapid social and technological changes in India, the use of craft products is an integral aspect of an Indian’s social life.  Handicraft aims at processing materials by hand with hand tools. The result of this can be a useful thing or a decorative item. The tradition of making handicrafts is deeply frozen in the social norms of Indian society. In any of the handmade products, a crafter transfers an aspect of their cultural heritage to the ideas, forms, material and manufacturing process of the craft. They’re skilled employees whose profession relies on manual skills. Their main tools are the power of work strategies. Handicraft contains plenty of implicit data that grows every year, along with skills. The order and apprentice system has been widely used to transfer skills and implicit data.
