FOREIGN COINS ESTIMATE

1 Ancient Greece. Silver Drachma of Alexander the Great, circa 336 to 323 BC, dark VF. Obverse is head of Hercules, reverse Zeus on throne. Attractive. 100.00+

2 Ancient Rome. Denarius of Tiberius, we think. A strong VF, but for a hole, which we suspect is a flawin the planchet. Nice antique silver color. Bust of Tiberius on the obverse, seated figure on reverse, strangely similar to our Seated Liberty coinage and Britannia on the British Penny! 35.00

3 Ancient Rome. (2) Roman bronze. The first is an antoninianus of Tetricus (271-274AD), attributedby Littleton Coin Co. While the portrait is strong, the edges are corroded away and the coin is notround. Really, though, it is not as bad as it sounds. The second is a larger Roman bronze, a littlesmaller than a half dollar. Very well worn and unattributed. As worn as it is, you can still seeRomulus and Remus nursing at the wolf. Two pieces. 30.00

4 Ancient Rome. AE Follis of Diocletian (284-305AD) attributed to the London Mint. This is an excep-tional piece, grading XF or better. A strong portrait of Diocletian is on the obverse, Genius standingis on the reverse. 195.00

PRE-FEDERAL COINAGE30 Georgivs Triumpho Token, 1783, Good. Strong obverse detail, weaker on the reverse. This is the first

piece listed in Redbook under the Washington section. Research shows that this token may be the onlyWashingtonia token actually struck in 1783, all the others with that date mostly struck from 1817-1820.The obverse legend is “Georgivs Triumpho,” meaning Triumphant George, the reverse reading “VocePopoli” meaning by the voice of the people. See page 79 of Redbook. 75.00-100.00

31 Massachusetts Cent, 1788, no period, VG. Massachusetts established their own mint in 1786 to strikecoins of all metals, although copper issues were the only ones struck before the mint was halted (pre-sumably because the state had ratified the new constitution which prohibited any state to coin money).A very popular coin because they bore the denominations as proposed by Congress. 120.00

with uniform chocolate brown surfaces. 460.00

SMALL CENTS40 Flying Eagle Cent, 1857, ANACS AU-50. Great detail, scattered circulation marks. Excluding the 1856

TWO CENTS, THREE CENTS & HALF DIMES ESTIMATE

59 Two Cent Pieces, 1864 and 1865, F/VF and VG/F respectively. Both are a nice chocolate brown and wellmatched. These are the first coins to bear the motto “In God We Trust.” The original patterns for the new denomination had “God Our Trust” but Secretary of the Treasury Salmon Chase changed it to the adoptedmotto (his alma mater had a similar motto). Two pieces. 43.00

60 Three Cent Silver, 1851, VF, one mark noted by the upper star point on the reverse. This is the first yearof type. 58.00

NICKELS64 Early Nickel Lot. Shield Nickels include: 1866, 1867, 1869, 1873, 1874, 1876, 1882 and 1883 grading

with light gold/blue on the reverse. 50.0068 Liberty Nickels, 1887 and 1888. Good (porous) and AG. A pair of key dates in low grade. 35.0069 Proof Liberty Nickel, 1902, NGC Proof-65 CAC. Faint blue/gold toning. We cannot really fault this

coin except to mention a tiny toning spot hidden on the reverse. One of 2,018 struck and it enjoys the CAC “blessing.” 600.00

70 Buffalo Nickel, 1913-S Type I, PCGS MS-64, light gold toning. This has always been one of our favorite type coins. 330.00

71 Buffalo Nickel, 1913-S Type II, ANACS Fine-12, scratched, corroded. This was in a previous auction and as we stated then, it does not appear to warrant the “corroded” designation. Despite the description, this is an attractive example of a very scarce issue. 300.00-400.00

72 1914 Buffalo Nickels. Here is a year set of some difficult dates. Includes 1914 Fine; 1914-D Good or better; and 1914-S Fine, with one old scratch on the reverse. The 1914-D is one of the keys for the series and this is a problem free example. Three pieces. 146.00

73 Buffalo Nickel, 1917-D, PCGS AU-53. Natural appearance with a uniform soft luster. A difficultdate in higher grades. 280.00

74 Buffalo Nickels, 1918-D and 1921-S. The 1918-D is Good, the key date 1921-S is a cleaned AG. 2 pcs. 58.0075 Buffalo Nickel, 1926, PCGS MS-65. A very pretty coin with light blue/gold over satiny fields. Well

struck with a full rounded horn. It would be hard to improve upon the eye appeal of this piece. 210.0076 Buffalo Nickel, 1937-S, PCGS MS-65. Fully struck as are most of these late dates. Light gold toning. 60.0077 Jefferson Nickel Trio. Includes: the key date 1950-D, MS-63; 1952 and 1955, both nice Proof-65 or

better. Three pieces. 65.00

EARLY DIMES78 Draped Bust Dime, 1805, JR-2, 4 berries, ANACS Fine details, damaged, scratched. These early dimes

were work horses in commerce and are very rare in problem free or higher grade. Actually, thisis an appealing coin with nice detail and natural gray patina. A loupe reveals numerous old scratchesnot really visible to the eye. The dies are rotated about 10 degrees. 750.00+

79 Capped Bust Dime, 1827, ANACS XF-40. Mostly light gray with darker toning at the borders. A pleasing early U.S. type coin. 450.00

6

DIMES ESTIMATE

80 Seated Liberty Dimes. Includes 1841 Fine, random marks; 1853 with arrows, G/VG; 1856 AG/G;and 1875 Good. Four pieces. 63.00

81 Seated Liberty Dime, 1876. Ex Bowers & Ruddy Michael Steig Collection, Sept. 1982, Lot #1127where it was described as “Choice AU-55, fully lustrous and brilliant.” We would add that todayit would probably grade AU-58 and note some prominent interesting clash marks. A wonderfultype coin and the original auction slip is included. 125.00

82 Barber Dimes, 1895-S and 1897-S. The rare 1895-S is VG, but the obverse has severe diagonalscratches on the portrait. The 1897-S is F/VF and as such is quite rare with the only detriment somesmall reverse marks and perhaps a light cleaning long ago. A couple of tough dates. Two pieces. 115.00

83 Barber Dime, 1914, Ch. AU-55, brilliant. 75.0084 Barber/Mercury Dime Lot. Barbers include: (31) from 1899 to 1915 grading AG to G. Mercury

Dimes include 1941 MS-63, 1942 ch. AU, 1944-D MS-63FSB, and 1945-S MS-60. 35 pieces. 100.00+85 Barber Dime Album, with 11 coins: 1901, 1906, 1910, 1912, 1912-D, 1912-S, 1913, 1914, 1914-D, 1914-S,

and 1916. All AG to Good+, a couple with problems. Housed in an old Library of Coins album. 11 coins. 40.0086 Mercury Dimes, 1942, 1943 and 1944. The 1942 is MS-65, the other two MS-63. All are brilliant. 3 pcs. 44.0087 Mercury Dime, 1944-S, PCGS MS-66. The surfaces are virtually flawless and we are not sure why this

did not receive a higher designation. PCGS lists this at... 34.0088 Proof Roosevelt Dime, 1950, NGC Proof-67, untoned. The scarcest of the Proof Roosevelt Dimes, with

a mintage of 51,386. 100.0089 Silver Roosevelt Dime, struck 80% off center, BU. A great error. The only thing that would make it

better would be for the date to show. Unfortunately, this is not the case. 150.00

TWENTY CENTS & QUARTERS90 Twenty Cent piece, 1875-CC, PCGS VG-10. We listed a VG-8 in our last auction - a bit unusual to have

two back-to-back pieces. Light gray devices with beautiful blue and russet toning at the edges. This is the only affordable CC Twenty Cent piece with only 133,290 minted. A great historical coins: an odd denomination from a popular branch mint. 425.00

91 Seated Liberty Quarters. 1854 and 1857, AG/G and G/VG respectively. The 1854 has an old obversescratch. Two pieces. 45.00

92 Seated Liberty Quarter, 1876-CC, VG. Mostly light gray, some darker areas on the reverse. 65.0093 Better date Barber Quarter Lot. Included are 1904-O Good, 1905-O AG, and 1911-D Good. Both Goods

are strong for the grade, with Liberty starting to show. 3 pieces. 85.0094 Barber Quarter, 1911-D. A strong VG example of a tougher date. 45.0095 Barber Quarter, 1912, Ch. XF-45 with underlying luster. A very pleasing coin for the grade. 100.0096 Standing Liberty Quarters, 1918, 1918-S and 1920. All grade VF and all have been cleaned. The

1918-S and 1920 are nice looking coins with the cleaning hardly noticeable. Three pieces. 76.0097 Standing Liberty Quarter, 1927-S, ANACS XF details, cleaned. With the exception of the 1916, this

date has the lowest mintage of the series and is a popular rarity. The obverse is very attractive with natural patina and does not appear to have been cleaned like the reverse which displays light hairlines.600.00-700.00

98 Standing Liberty Quarter, 1928-S, PCGS Ch. AU-55. Fully lustrous with all the appeal of a highergrade mint state example. 100.00

99 Standing Liberty Quarter, 1929-D, PCGS MS-63, with faint gold toning over satiny surfaces. 250.00100 Washington Quarter, 1932-S, VG. A key date. 140.00101 Washington Quarter, 1941-D, MS-63, brilliant. 58.00102 Proof Washington Quarter, 1950, PCGS Proof-66, with light hazy toning. Scarce, with the same mintage

reverse. 140.00110 Capped Bust Half Dollar, 1833, O-106, XF-40. Natural two-tone we like to see - darker fields with

lighter devices. The motto is weakly struck which is common, but the eagle shows great detail. 175.00111 Capped Bust Half Dollar, 1836, PCGS XF-40. This is the last year for the lettered edge Bust Halves.

A strong strike with a full motto. Two-tone toning - lighter devices with deeper blue/gray fields.A very natural appearing coin. 175.00+

112 Seated Liberty Half Dollar, 1839, with drapery, PCGS Ch. XF-45. We rarely see this very popular date since it is the first year of type and stay with collectors for a long time. This is an excellent example with natural medium gray surfaces with underlying luster. A few minor rim marks on the reverse are the only items worth mentioning. Recent auction prices realized have been between $270 and $380. This should bring a strong bid. 350.00

113 Seated Liberty Half Dollar, 1853-O, arrows and rays, PCGS Ch. XF-45. Pretty gray/blue over lustrous fields with fascinating die cracks on both sides. The arrows and rays variety lasted just oneyear with the New Orleans coins much scarcer than the Philadelphia Halves. Prices realized range from $423 to $499. A great type piece we cannot fault in any way. 460.00+

114 Seated Liberty Half Dollar, 1858, AU-50. A former NGC AU-50 certified coin that has been taken outof its holder. The NGC slip is included. Natural gray and a very nice example of an early no motto half. 245.00

115 Seated Liberty Half Dollars, 1859-S and 1868-S. Both are strong Goods, the obverse of the 1859-S showing old scratches in the right field. Two pieces. 75.00

116 Seated Liberty Half Dollar, 1866, PCGS Ch. VF-35. This is the first year for the motto which was added to the reverse. A nice uniform gray, a few minor scuff marks at 8:00 obverse. A date we do not see offered very often. 175.00

117 Seated Liberty Half Dollar, 1869-S, PCGS Ch. XF-45. This is a scarce date. Current prices realized vary between $305 and $488. The obverse has somewhat uneven russet/ gray toning, the reverse looks more like an AU coin. 300.00-350.00

118 Seated Liberty Half Dollar, 1877-S, NGC Ch. AU-55. One can see much luster under light graysurfaces. A very nice late date Seated Half. 270.00

**************************************************119 Seated Liberty Half Dollar, 1889, PCGS Ch. XF-45. We have always loved these scarce date halves -

only 12,000 were minted. Problem free with uniform gray surfaces. A great opportunity to pick upa very scarce piece. 825.00

**************************************************BARBER HALF DOLLARS120 Barber Half Dollar, 1893-S, VF to Fine. A nice overall appearance with great detail for the grade,

but under a loupe, we notice some surface pitting on some areas which affects value. This is arare date in the Barber series and scarce in any grade. 200.00-275.00

121 Barber Half Dollars, 1898-S and 1899-O. Both are problem free Goods. Two pieces. 54.00122 Barber Half Dollar, 1900-S, PCGS AU-53. Very lustrous, untoned. Rarely do we see better grade

Barber Halves - a difficult series to put together. A problem free example that is very choice for the grade. 425.00+

123 Barber Half Dollar, 1912, NGC Ch. AU-55. Plenty of luster under light gold/gray toning. Onesmall fleck of toning is noted on the cheek. The reverse looks like mint state - a high end circulated example of a difficult series. 435.00

124 Barber Half Dollar, 1912-D, Fine. 50.00

A certified mid-grade example of this key date. 100.00130 Proof Walking Liberty Half Dollar, 1939, PCGS Proof-64. Proof Walking Halves are some of the

prettiest of all U.S. coins. We are not sure why the grade has held down on this. It displays deepproof fields which nicely contrast with the devices. 8,008 were minted. 510.00+

131 Walking Liberty Half Dollar, 1939-S, NGC MS-64.

edges, the reverse uniformly deeply toned over the whole surface. Possibly a former Mint Set coinbecause of the intensity of the toning. 85.00+

Two pieces. 37.00142 Proof Franklin Half Dollar, 1956, Type II, NGC Proof-69 star, untoned. What a superb coin! The ob-

verse is a gorgeous deep-mirror cameo that appears flawless. The frost could not be heavier. PCGS shows only 106 in this grade, while NGC shows 159. A great opportunity to own one of the best examples. 540.00-600.00

EARLY DOLLARS ESTIMATE

**************************************************150 Seated Liberty Dollar, 1872, NGC AU-53. Very pleasing natural surfaces. Problem free Seated Dollars

are scarce and this example is a pleasant exception. A great type coin. 1,050.00151 Proof Trade Dollar, 1875, PCGS Proof-58. Ex Bowers & Merena, March 1990, Lot #3197 where it

was described as “...Type I reverse with berry under the eagle’s left claw. The surfaces are largely brilliant, with just a whisper of champagne iridescence at the rims. According to Walter Breen’sEncyclopedia, examples of the variety constitute fewer than 10% of the 700 proofs coined for the year.” 1,400.00+

**************************************************152 Trade Dollar, 1877, PCGS XF-40. The San Francisco mint churned out most of the Trade Dollars

since they were headed to China. Consequently, the Philadelphia minted coins are less common.Nice medium gray toning on both sides. 275.00+

153 Trade Dollar, 1878-S, Ch. VF-30 to XF-40, natural gray, small minor circulation marks, the only oneworth mentioning is a small rim ding at 9:30 reverse. This was the final year for the Trade Dollars,and the first year for the new Morgan Dollar. 200.00

MORGAN DOLLARS154 Morgan Dollar, 1878 7/8 TF, MS-60, brilliant. This is the strong variety with 5 underlying feathers

showing. A neat coin. 195.00155 Morgan Dollar, 1878-CC, VG/F, cleaned. 95.00156 Morgan Dollar, 1878-CC, Ch. XF-45. 150.00157 Morgan Dollars, 1879-O and 1880-O. AU and Ch. XF-45 respectively. Two pieces. 84.00158 Morgan Dollar, 1879-S, MS-64 to MS-65. An exceptional dollar with clean surfaces. 80.00159 Morgan Dollar, 1880, PCGS MS-64, brilliant. 150.00160 Morgan Dollar, 1881-CC, MS-63 and very frosty. A splendid example of a better date. 550.00161 Morgan Dollar, 1881-S, PCGS MS-66. Extremely immaculate surfaces with light gold/gray overtones. 260.00162 Morgan Dollar, 1882-CC, MS-63 or better. Untoned and well struck as are most. 250.00163 Morgan Dollar, 1882-O/S, VAM-3. AU, lightly cleaned. A neat Top 100 variety. 85.00164 Morgan Dollar, 1882-S, MS-64 to MS-65, brilliant. This appears to be a VAM-11. It is interesting that

the “Top 100” list excludes some fascinating die varieties. The date on this displays doubling and there is extra metal between the loops of the 8s and on the 2, making for a rather dramatic die variety. There are numerous variations of this theme which possibly keeps it from the Top 100 status. Listed as an R-4. 80.00

165 Morgan Dollar, 1883-CC, MS-62/63 with light gold toning on the reverse. 210.00166 Morgan Dollar, 1883-O, MS-64 with very pretty blue and russet obverse toning. 70.00+167 Morgan Dollars, 1883-S and 1884. The 1883-S is AU with a P/L obverse. With MS-60 examples

bringing over $900, AU specimens are in demand. The 1884 is a lustrous and well struck MS-63. 2 pcs. 200.00168 Morgan Dollar, 1884-CC, MS-63 and frosty. 225.00169 Morgan Dollar, 1884-O, VAM-5, Ch. XF-45. The filled “O” variety. This is a neat coin. The “O”

mint mark is totally filled. Listed as an R-3 by Van Allen. 40.00170 Morgan Dollar, 1884-O, PCGS MS-64, light gold overtones, soft luster. 70.00171 Morgan Dollar, 1885-CC, GSA, MS-62/63 with the typical frosty untoned surfaces. All original

packaging that still looks new. Unfortunately, many GSA Dollars were cracked out of their casesyears ago by dealers lugging them to shows and not caring for the bulk. Consequently, a largemarket has developed for the better date coins in GSA cases. 790.00

172 Morgan Dollar, 1885-O, PCGS MS-65, brilliant. Uniform satiny surfaces make this quite attractive. 165.00173 Morgan Dollar, 1885-S, MS-63, brilliant. We note 2 small roller marks on the reverse. This is a better date. 375.00174 Morgan Dollar, 1886, NGC MS-63DPL. A great “dimple” Dollar with deep mirror proof-like fields on

both sides. 285.00175 Morgan Dollars, 1886 and 1886-S. MS-64 and XF respectively. The 1886-S appears to be the S/S variety.

and purple. Very pretty. 285.00181 Morgan Dollar, 1891-CC, Ch. XF-45 with attractive surfaces. We do note some very faint hairlines from

a past light cleaning. 150.00182 Morgan Dollar, 1892, PCGS MS-61. Fully lustrous. 375.00183 Morgan Dollars, 1893 and 1893-O. Both are Good and have been cleaned. An affordable pair of key date

Morgans. Two pieces. 275.00184 Morgan Dollar, 1893-O, Fine. A nice circulated example of this key date. 240.00

**************************************************185 Morgan Dollar, 1893-S, PCGS Fine details, scratch. It is rare that we see examples of this “king”

of Morgan Dollars, much less with Fine details. The surfaces are a pleasing natural gray. The scratch referred to is a thin line that stretches from the 6th star to the “S” in Pluribus - not readily apparent to the eye. There are also some noticeable bag marks on the cheek and field on the obverse. Please call if you would like a more detailed description. This is a great opportunity to pick up a mid-grade example. 3,200.00-3,500.00

some problems. Five pieces. 100.00+187 Morgan Dollar, 1895-O. Overall Fine, but baggy and has been cleaned. A key date. 250.00

**************************************************188 Morgan Dollar, 1895-O, PCGS AU-53. Untoned with great luster for the grade. This is one of

those dates where the difference in price between AU and BU is staggering! AU-50s list for $1,150, AU-55s at $2,500, AU-58 at $6,900, and finally, MS-60 examples at $16,000. PCGS currently lists AU-53 specimens at $1,375. One would be hard pressed to find a nicer example than this for the grade. A classic rarity within the Morgan series. 1,375.00

**************************************************189 Morgan Dollar, 1898-S, XF-40. 45.00190 Morgan Dollar, 1899-S, PCGS MS-64, brilliant. An attractive example of a more difficult date. 845.00191 Morgan Dollar, 1900, PCGS MS-65, brilliant. Another coin similar to the 1885-O listed with a uniform

satiny luster that makes the coin attractive. 195.00192 Morgan Dollar, 1900-O/CC, VG. A Top 100 variety. 50.00193 Morgan Dollar, 1901-S, PCGS MS-63. Very clean surfaces for the grade and fully lustrous. A scarce

examples are excessively rare with an MS-62 example recently selling for $76,375. At nationalauctions, VF-20 to VF-30 examples bring $400 to $600. A great opportunity to pick up a classicrarity in the Morgan Dollar series. 500.00+

foreign object rested between the planchet and die. When struck this leaves a depressed area by the eagle’s shoulder. Another neat coin. 40.00+

203 Peace Dollar, 1924-S, PCGS MS-62, faint gold toning. A better date Peace Dollar. Recent auctionprices realized range from $258 to $352 at Heritage. 300.00

MODERN DOLLARS210 Silver Eagle Lot. We saved this trio for the auction. The first is a 1989 with truly immaculate surfaces

and faint border toning of blue/gold. The second is a 1992 with a neat struck-thru on obverse whichwe found in an original roll. This happens when a piece of foreign material is caught between the planchet and the die leaving an impression on the coin’s surface. Finally, a 1994 with gorgeous rainbow obverse toning from 9:00 to 1:00. Three pieces. 110.00

211 Graded Silver Eagle Lot. Includes 2006 NGC “Gem Uncirculated - First Strike”; 2008 NGC “GemUncirculated”; and 2013 NGC MS-68. We are also including the key 1996 Eagle, but it has beenmishandled, showing some circulation marks. 4 pieces. 125.00

UNITED STATES GOLD COINS213 Type I $1 Gold, 1851, NGC Ch. AU-55. Interest seems to be growing on early small gold denominations.

The Type I Liberty Head was only minted from 1849 to 1854. 325.00214 Type I $1 Gold, 1853. A former jewelry piece, holed and plugged at 12:00. Overall, VF/XF details. 125.00215 Type II $1 Gold, 1855, PCGS AU-50. A very pleasing example of this scarce popular type coin that

PCGS currently lists these on their website at $ 1,334.00229 1 Oz. $50 Buffalo, 2006, NGC MS-68 First Strike. When the mint started making the pure gold bullion

coins, we thought they would make the existing gold Eagles obsolete. Well, once again we were wrongand mintages were always less than the Eagles. First year of issue, these currently list at NGC for... 1,500.00

230 Proof $10 Dolly Madison ½ Oz. Gold, 2007-W. In the original capsule but missing the packaging.A beautifully executed coin of which 17,943 were struck. 735.00

U.S. COMMEMORATIVE COINS231 Pilgrim Tercentenary Commem. Half Dollar, 1920, MS-64 with beautiful peripheral toning, lustrous

centers. The reverse shows the Mayflower. The mintages are deceptive because a high number ofcoins returned to the mint for melting. 125.00

232 Alabama Centennial Half Dollar, 1921, 2X2 variety, MS-60, cleaned at one time. Pretty blue/goldtoning at the edges. The scarce 2X2 variety referred to the status of Alabama being the 22nd state. 280.00

**************************************************236 Oregon Trail Commem. Half Dollar, 1936, ANACS MS-60, cleaned. This is an attractive coin and

we do not see any hairlines from a cleaning. Perhaps ANACS believes it is a bit too bright froma light polishing. Scarce, with only 10,006 minted. 180.00

237 Columbia, South Carolina Sesquicentennial Half Dollar, 1936-S, PCGS MS-65. Only 8,007 were minted.This is an interesting design and were issued for one year only. 340.00

The 2008 Set includesthe Alaska and Hawaii Quarters. Three sets. 69.00

260 Mint Souvenir Sets, 1982 and 1983. These sets are an absolute anomaly. They are listed in the newestRedbook on page 354. Although the mints sold souvenir sets for many years these particular sets havebecome popular with collectors because the mint did not make regular Mint Sets for 1982 and 1983.The souvenir sets are used to “fill the hole” in Mint Set collections. All four sets (1982 P and D,1983 P and D) are included along with (2) 1976-D, 1977-D, 1978-D and 1984-D Souvenir Sets, and1983 and 1988 private “put together” sets.

264 $10 Federal Reserve Note, 1928-B, F/VF with light green seal, Chicago FRB. Popular because they stated “Redeemable in Gold on Demand...” Also included is a 1950 $10 FRN which is AU/Uncbut has some light soiling. Two pieces. 55.00

ALASKA TOKENS270 Chisana token. Lou Anderton, $5 in trade, B-1d, AU with some staining. Chisana is a “ghost town” in

the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. There was a brief gold rush there about 1913. Now it is mostly deserted but for a few “in-holders,” people with private property surrounded by the Park. A little bit of mining is still carried on. 45.00

271 Fairbanks tokens. Included are: Fairview Hotel Pool Hall, 25¢, B-19b, a dug token, but fully legible; Nevada Bar 5¢, B-37a, AU; and Zapel’s Restaurant 10¢, B-58a, AU with luster. Three relatively common tokens with a catalogue value of ... 50.00

272 Hyder tokens. The Bungalow, 25¢ and 50¢, B-2 a and b, both AU. Hyder is a small town in southeast Alaska.Besides Skagway and Haines, it is the only other town down there with road access. Recently, the Canadiansclosed the border at night, placing the residents of Hyder in peril as many emergency services are providedby the neighboring town of Stewart, BC. True Alaskans know the meaning of “Hyderized.” Two tokens. 45.00

273 Juneau token. Burford’s Corner, 50¢, B-12c, lightly corroded. Two holes are present at 3:00 and 9:00. Wedon’t recall if we have ever seen this token without these holes, always aligned and neatly done. 75.00

The Abercrombie tokens, which were also issued in 4¢ and 8¢ denominations were redeemable in lots of $2 only! An interesting concept for Alaska trade tokens. Whoever put the hole in the Nelson Hotel token must be commended for getting it so nicely centered. Four tokens. 40.00

275 Red Fiber tokens! Offered are a $10 token from Alstrom of Kwiguk (B-1f), Fine, and a 5¢ token from Polet Stores of Nome (B-41b) XF or better. Both of these businesses issued traditional metal tokens, but presumably during WWII these were not available. The aluminum Kwiguk tokens are often found in wretched condition, so this fiber token was probably to replace those still in use. Polet issued four different tokens in fiber, and these would be a supplement to the full set of aluminum tokens previously issued. Interesting trivia for the token collector. Two tokens. 30.00

276 Seward Token. The Palace, 12½¢, B-9b. The catalogue value is $500. The latest eBay prices realized are$225 and $395. A scarce token. 200.00+

All are VF or better, some showing luster. 8 tokens. 40.00

Greatconversation piece, or stocking stuffers for the relatives in the lower 48. They always wanted you to send them some gold! Priceless
