The Canadian Numismatic Company - Auction May 1, 2009
The Canadian Numismatics welcomes you to its 4th Internet Auction of 2009. The Auction contains 968 lots of various Canadian Coins, Banknotes and Tokens. This Auction contains a superb assortment of Collectors material for Collectors of all levels. Contrary to what we could expect, the sale of Antiquities in the Numismatic field has not regressed but in our opinion has stepped up one level in this time of supposedly recession. Hard and Tangible investments is what people are turning too with the incertitude of the stock market.
This will be our last Internet Auction before we bring you our Main Event of 2009, The June TOREX Auction. This Auction will highlight approx 2500 Lots of some of the most sought after Canadian Numismatic material, some of which are Unique. This Auction will be brought to you Live from the Toronto Hilton Airport on the 26-27 June in conjunction with I Collector. If you wish to obtain a Catalog for this Auction please contact us and we will send you a copy. Prices for catalogs will be announced one catalog is completed.
Thanks for supporting our Company and Good Luck in the May Internet Auction.

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!

Long Beach Signature® Auction Realizes $13 Million for Heritage

Dallas, TX – Gold rarities in all denominations led prices realized in Heritage’s Official Auction of the February 2009 Long Beach Coin Expo. Some 6500 lots from 280 consignors were included in the auction, presented by Heritage Auction Galleries. The auction took place Feb. 5-8, 2009 in Long Beach, Calif. Prices Realized have been posted by Heritage Auction Galleries on its Web site at www.HA.com. The totals are expected to increase substantially as Post Auction Buys and the non-floor session continues.
“Long Beach was especially rich in gold rarities, across all series,” said Heritage President Greg Rohan. “Exceptional coins were contributed by our anchors, many of Registry quality. The Grand Lake Collection was especially rich in gold pre-Civil War issues – especially the coins of Dahlonega and Charlotte. The four-generation Pasadena Collection started with a box of coins set aside by the owner of a general store in Pennsylvania. Part One of the Ed Lepordo Collection featured a complete type set (1793–to-date), impressive Large cents, and other series from two dozen NGC Registry sets. Additional selections from The Jack Lee Estate Collection were also included.”
Bidder usage of the HERITAGE Live! bidding system, allowing global bidders to directly compete in the floor bidding via the Internet, continued to rise; of the 4,500 bidders participating in Long Beach, 16% of those successful participated through HERITAGE Live!™.
Among the most exciting items sold in Long Beach were: Lot 3020: 1861-S $20 Paquet AU58 NGC, Realized $161,000 (among the most favored and storied coins in U.S. numismatics); Lot 2685: 1824 $5 MS63 PCGS.
