Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC presents Treasure Auction #5: now Online
When we began our Treasure Auctions two years ago, we had no idea how quickly the concept would grow. Just compare our first sale of around 400 lots to almost 1800 lots now, a fourfold increase! But it is not just the number and quality of the consignments that have grown: With each new auction we have offered technical advances over the last, and our latest addition is live Internet bidding via iCollector.com. While we hope to offer fully live auctions in person some day, we feel we offer the next best thing with live bidding on the Internet combined with full descriptions and photos, both in this catalog and on our website, and our long-standing reputation for accuracy and fairness.
As you peruse the lots, you will notice that this auction is about extreme coins, from immense Swedish copper “plate money” from the Schimmelmann wreck of 1780 to tiny silver cuartillos (¼ reales) from Spanish colonial mints, literally hundreds of which appear in this sale from a collection of “mini-coins” assembled over the course of 40 years. Also we feature what we believe to be the largest Potosí cob 8 reales (“Great Module”) ever made. Even our shipwreck bullion section offers the extremes of huge silver and copper ingots and to tiny flakes of gold dust and nuggets.
As always, we present many significant shipwreck coins, our exclusive specialty. Perhaps the most important and visually appealing lot is a unique presentation-strike 8 reales from the unauthorized “Star of Lima” series of 1659 recovered from the “Jupiter wreck” off Florida, along with a 2R, 1R and ½R from the same series and source. The 8R and 2R are the finest known, and in fact they are of such exemplary quality that we believe they are evidence of samples being sent to the king of Spain to show the new coinage, which continued to be struck without authorization in 1660 because of the loss of these samples. Without shipwreck salvage, we would never be able to study such important rarities that were otherwise lost forever. Perhaps surprisingly, to own and invest in these items does not take millions or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Our other major niche, shipwreck and treasure-related artifacts, is augmented this time with two important collections: The Art McKee Collection of 1733-Fleet (and other) artifacts from his Sunken 
Treasure Museum on Plantation Key, Florida; and finds from a Spanish Colonial site of ca. 1590 in the southern Caribbean. From thimbles and pins to grand gold jewelry, there is something here for every budget.
Our offerings are not limited to shipwrecks and treasure. As a growing auction house, we have listened to what bidders want and have responded by gathering consignments from around the world in a variety of areas of interest. In particular we have expanded our world coins sections into Latin American areas, with significant collections in Guatemala, Mexican War for Independence, Nicaragua/Honduras provisional issues and more. The colonial sections of Bolivia and Peru contain numerous bust 8 reales from fresh hoards found in Peru. We are also venturing into medals and decorations, paper money and even maps. In addition we present our usual sections of cobs from the Spanish colonial mints in the Americas, which are well represented this time by a collection of mostly 8 reales.
In this sale we also continue to present the Tom Sebring Treasure Library, an ongoing project that we expect to complete in the fall with Tom’s collection of important treasure auction catalogs. While book offerings are not a lucrative area for an auction house—and most coin-auction houses do not offer them for that reason—we feel that reference materials are one of the most important aspects of collecting and are well worth presenting for everyone to obtain for their own personal libraries.
It is all part of our general philosophy of making practical treasures available to everyone in the world in the easiest, most comfortable venue possible. As you sit back and study each lot, be sure to appreciate what our growing contingent of consignors already knows: We take the time and resources to research and maximize the exposure of each and every item, from tiny cuartillos to large maps, and we are always willing to answer questions and assist bidders. Find YOUR treasures HERE!

OVER 650 LOTS WILL BE SOLD AT AUCTION ON SATURDAY, MARCH 14th, BY WESTERN ASSET RESERVE IN KAPAA, HI
(Kapaa, HI) – Over 650 lots of investment-grade assets will be sold in an auction slated for Saturday, March 14, 2009 beginning at 12PM PST. This auction will feature the finest in rare and gold coins, currency, Asian antiques and collectibles, jewelry, gemstones, timepieces and high-end personal accoutrements.
With its location in Hawaii central to its business, Western Asset Reserve acquires much of its investment grade personal property, other than coins or stamps, through the markets in Asia. While markets in the US and Western Europe are often viewed as “tapped-out” as far as new discoveries of under-valued personal property, the markets of Asia are not and often yield significant finds. We regularly combine our expertise with that of professionals overseas to evaluate personal property finds. Our goal is assisting buyers with the enhancement of their investment portfolios with quality real and personal property which has strong potential value growth, particularly in times of inflationary pressures and strained currency exchange rates.
Among highlights, this auction will feature:
• over 160 gemstone lots including rare Ouro Preto Imperial Topaz and high grade appraised Colombian Emeralds as well as many affordable, high grade cut and rough gemstones;
• over 300 coin and currency lots ranging from highly collectible and affordable scarce items to a rare 1916-D Mercury dime, a rare variety 1818 high grade large cent or numerous high grade gold pieces;
• over 60 lots of Asian antiques, collectibles and decorative art including an array of recently acquired bronzes, Tibetan ritual pieces, pre-ban ivory carvings, 318,000 carats of sculptured jade depicting Kwan Yin in a forest setting, and an old-growth teak mortar delicately carved with lace details;
• numerous timepieces, including a near mint vintage Rolex GMT Master II Stainless men’s watch and a new limited edition (only 206 pieces exist) Van Cleef & Arpels men’s 18K gold/alligator band watch with diamond accents;
• a selection of fine jewelry featuring salt water pearls and ruby, sapphire and diamond appraised pieces with current retail values exceeding $30,000 each;
• a variety of new personal accoutrements that range from cobra and sea snake skin wallets to ostrich hide belts, ostrich egg clutches, as well as crocodile and stingray handbags.

Morphy Auctions Early Spring Sale March 5, 6 & 7, 2009 - Day 3
February 27, 2009 by Administrator
Filed under Antiques, Collectibles
Outstanding private collections add antique toys, trains, dolls and advertising to Morphy’s March 5-7 roster
Premier collection of Mr. Peanut memorabilia to highlight opening session
DENVER, Pa. – Fine toys, trains, antique advertising and the P-nuttiest collection of Planter’s memorabilia to come to auction in many years are waiting in the wings for Morphy Auctions’ 2,100-lot Spring Sale, March 5-7, 2009. An unprecedented influx of superior collections has come in over the winter months, said Morphy’s chief operating officer Dan Morphy, and because of the size of the sale inventory, each of the three days will be arranged in a logical order that caters to specialty collectors’ preferences. Additionally, the Thursday and Friday sessions will commence at 10 a.m., two hours earlier than has been customary for weekday sessions at Morphy’s.
Saturday, March 7, 2009
Much of the Saturday session is devoted to trains, a specialty that Morphy’s has continued to develop with last year’s launch of a Toy Trains department headed by noted collector and dealer Ken Post. “This is the nicest, cleanest grouping of trains to come to the market in years,” said Dan Morphy.
First up will be 20 lots of European trains, mostly by Marklin and Bing. The top Marklin lot features a big FE 2 gauge engine and tender with three large, hand-enameled cars: dining, sleeping and smoking. Each of the cars features a hinged roof and outfitted interior, e.g., with tables, chairs, etc. The train’s selling price could exceed $30,000.
Other important Marklin lots include a 2 gauge set with Congressional Limited cars; and another set with a Kaiser car and Crown car. An early Marklin floor train from 1909 or earlier was quite possibly a one-of-a-kind production. “It is the example pictured in David Pressland book The Art of the Tin Toy,” Morphy noted.
The session also features an expansive array of American trains. More than 50 boxed Lionel O gauge sets will be offered, including a “baby” Blue Comet set, an elusive terra cotta 253 set, and a rare 249 O gauge 600 series set in red with silver-roof passenger cars. All are from a single collection.
Many trains await standard gauge enthusiasts, such as a set-boxed American Flyer Lone Scout set, a set-boxed Lionel 408E set, and what is possibly the best-condition example of a Lionel 344 Rail Chief set. Its vestibules appear never to have been connected, and the train is in a virtually unplayed-with state.
The trains section also contains several unusual models from makers such as Boucher, Knapp and Voltamp. “Voltamp is a brand with many followers,” said Morphy. “Our sale features both engines and trolleys by this desirable manufacturer.”
The Saturday session then moves into figural metal, with more than 85 lots of cast-iron mechanical banks and a collection of approximately 80 European painted-lead still banks; followed by a selection of 260 doll lots, including a Jumeau and a number of dolls from the 1930s through 1950s. The latter grouping “may not be antiques,” said Morphy, “but it’s a consistently excellent assortment from a West Coast collector who was a stickler for buying only examples that had original tags and paperwork.”
