BE ADVISED: Auction participation through the live Internet bidding site isnot 100% foolproof. The technology for this process is always changing, and theoperation of it and the corresponding Internet connectivity issues are far beyondour control. Some folks have attempted to use the live Internet bidding processas their primary method of bidding and have been quite successful. Others havefailed completely. Depending upon your computer, server, host, and other factors, Internet signals may be delayed, such that bids may not be received in time. HWAC cannot be held responsible for these delays, or for the lack of placed bids in atimely manner, or any other factors leading to unaccepted bids that are far beyond our control. Bidders should always have a backup plan for lots they highly desire. Live participation is best, followed by phone participation. We will not reopen lots for missed bids. In all cases, it is the Auctioneer who determines the winning bid.12. RESERVES: Most of the lots in this auction are unreserved. Precious metals may be reserved at, near, or slightly below spot, at the Auctioneer’s discretion.13. BIDDING INCREMENTS: All bids must be submitted in whole U.S. dollaramounts and only in the appropriate increments as outlined in this Section. If you choose to submit bids in an increment not listed below, your bid will be roundedto the nearest increment, and you will be expected to pay the amount to which the bid was rounded should your bid be the winning bid. If you have any questionsabout an appropriate bid amount, please call us.FromToIncrement$1$95$5$100$190$10$200$475$25$500$1,450$50$1,500$3,400$100$3,500$9,750$250$10,000$29,500$500$30,000$49,000$1,000$50,000and up$2,000This is a Live Auction conducted by Holabird Western Americana Collections, LLC (HWAC).Terms & Conditions4Holabird Western Americana Collections, LLC

14. AUTOMATIC INCREMENTAL BIDDING: Absentee Bids automatically increase above the highest competing bid by the increments posted in Section 13 up to the maximum bid requested by the absentee bidder. If the highest compet-ing bid is the same as the Absentee bidder’s maximum bid, the increment cannot be applied, and the competing bid will prevail. Often there can be three or more bidders with the exact same bid amount. The Auctioneer will call for a tie-breaking bid, and if one does not come, the Auctioneer will award the lot randomly. All win-ning Absentee Bids will be reduced, if necessary, to the next bidding increment up from the last competing bid, as long as the minimum bid requirement has been met. For example, if an Absentee bidder submits a maximum bid of $1000 and the next highest competing bid is $250, then the Absentee bidder will win the lot for $275, provided that no other competing bids are received while that lot is open for bidding.15. BID INFORMATION: Collectors often ask in advance the current bid amount of a particular lot. We will give out the current competitive high absen-tee bid amount until we close the day before the live auction. You may also view Absentee Bids online at www.holabirdamericana.com. While we work to update the Absentee Bids as often as necessary, bids received close to the bidding dead-line might not be reflected online, and we disclaim any responsibility for any bids made in reliance upon inaccuracies on our website, which may be beyond our control. We do not own any of the live Internet bidding platforms, and thus many aspects of the Internet technology are out of our control.16. BID CANCELLATION: If you wish to cancel or change a bid after you have submitted your bids to us due to an error, you MUST PHONE us to advise us of this. If you use Live Auctioneers or Invaluable, you must contact them directly, as we do not have access to cancel bids. Bid cancellations through mail, email, or faxes are not advisable. Errors are easy to make. Please call us if you have any questions on this.17. FINANCIAL ANTIQUITIES: All stock certificates, checks, warrants, and other financial documents sold herein are sold as antiquities, and have no finan-cial, securities, or public trading value whatsoever.18.

AUTOMATIC CREDIT CARD BILLING: Internet bidders are required to provide credit card information in order to bid in the auction. PLEASE NOTE, this implies the bidder’s approval and authorization to use that credit card for payment for lots purchased by the bidder during the auction. Some Internet platforms will charge that credit card automatically or allows HWAC to charge your credit card for the invoiced amount. If payment, or payment arrangements, are not received within the stated 15-day period, YOUR CREDIT CARD MAY BE CHARGED. In all cases, we attempt to contact our customers, who have not made arrangements for payment prior to charging their credit card.22. NON-PAYMENT: HWAC reserves the right to cancel any invoice not paid in full within 15 days. A cancelled invoice does not relieve the bidder from their obli-gation to pay seller fees and buyer’s premiums compensating HWAC for its ser-vices in conducting the auction. Interest shall run on all outstanding balances at the highest rate permitted by law. HWAC shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the bidder, and any other of bidder’s property then held by HWAC or its affiliates, to secure payment of the invoice, and with respect thereto HWAC shall have all the rights of a secured creditor under the Nevada Commercial Code, including but not limited to the right of sale. HWAC may sell the lot(s) securing the invoice to any under bidders in the auction that the lot(s) appeared, or at sub-sequent private or public sale, or relist the lot(s) in a future auction conducted by HWAC. A defaulting bidder agrees to pay for the reasonable costs of resale (includ-ing a 10% seller’s commission, if consigned to an auction conducted by HWAC). The defaulting bidder is liable to pay any difference between his or her total origi-nal invoice for the lot(s), plus any applicable interest, and the net proceeds for the lot(s) if sold at private sale or the subsequent hammer price of the lot(s) less the 10% seller’s commissions, if sold at an HWAC auction. If HWAC refers any invoice to an attorney for collection, the bidder agrees to pay attorney’s fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by HWAC. Any bidder who fails to follow the terms and conditions of the auction or of payment will be reported to iCollector, Live Auctioneers, Invaluable, or other applicable bidding platform, and may be barred from participating in future Holabird Western Americana Collections auc-tions.23.

That’s Right! Two great companies are joining forces, using their combined 75 years of exceptional experience to present to you an auction of some of the Finest Known Treasure and Numismatic rarities! This one-day special auction presents an excellent sample of rarities in various treasure classes: SS Central America; SS Republic; Private “Territorial” gold coins; treasured Morgan dollars; ancient coins and more. Both of our companies specialize in treasures. Everyone is fascinated by treasure – whether it is a gold coin found in your own backyard; in a clay pot full of mint state ancient coins; artifacts and coins from the ocean floor, or in a long-held private collection. It’s all treasure! strong, outspoken people about their politics during Now we can bring these treasures to you directly at auction. Finest Known, LLC has specialized in numismatics for decades and is the leader in sales of SS Central America material since about 2002, having sold nearly every gold ingot from the Ship of Gold – some of them sold many times over! They are known the world over for their professionalism and education of rare numismatics. The backgrounds and experience of our two companies fit hand in glove and work together to bring you very special items at auction. What everyone witnessed with the SS Central America artifact auctions now comes into play for this select group of treasure and numismatic items.SS Central America TreasuresThe items up for auction from the 1857 SSCA are nothing short of astounding. In the numismatics portion, are several important pieces: a striking 1857-S $20 with deep golden red patina known as the “Golden Gate” coin. Modern treasures include many of the 2000 millennium This coin is so stunning in appearance, reminiscent of the fabled sunsets at the Golden Gate, that SSCA Chief Scientist Bob Evans refused to conserve the coin and remove the fabulous coloration. It is one of a small handful of coins that were “left alone” because of their beautiful appearance. A key new discovery is a group of three daguerreotype and ambrotype photographs in their original cases of the D. O. Mills family inclusive of newlyweds Addie and Ansel Easton, thought to be taken by San Francisco photographer Robert H. Vance upon their return from the East after the SS Central America disaster, in which both Eastons were rescued, though by different ships at different times, such that for some time, neither knew if the other survived. It is the only such surviving photograph and has never been published. Other SS Central America treasures include very rare coins of numerous denominations found in various passenger “coin piles” out in debris fields on the ocean floor, as well as key items from the Gold Room, inclusive of a 13 troy ounce Kellogg & Humbert gold ingot. SS RepublicThe SS Republic treasure of 1865 offers several of the fine $20 gold coins and several of the half dollars. Certainly one of the key pieces is a counterstamped half dollar with “TN” and “1861” separately stamped into the obverse and reverse. This coin tells the story of the difficult and conflicting politics of the people of Tennessee in 1861 at the onset of the Civil War. As the last state to enter the Confederacy, Tennesseans were those first months of the Civil War, which is emphasized by this unique half dollar. Gold Rush RaritiesVery rare, low mintage US gold coins, particularly US type 1 $20 gold coins from 1850 to 1860. A spectacular rarity is a Baldwin 1851 $10 in mint state, one of only a very few known. The collection is supplemented by other rarities including one of the very rare 1911-D low denomination gold coins. Ancient TreasuresEvery collector and every kid gets thrilled thinking about ancient coins. They are a true treasure, and the information and history behind them is another treasure trove. We have a great variety of nearly 100 different silver and gold coins of the ancient period.

This is a splendid example of a Morgan Dollar from the short-lived U.S. Mint branch in Carson City, Nevada. Born in the convergence of the shortage of hard currency in the American West and the bonanza silver and gold discovery of the infamous Comstock Lode in Virginia City, the Carson City Mint operated between 1870 and 1885, then resumed from 1889 to 1893, barely a quarter-century of coin production. Morgans from the Carson City Mint are prized and sought after by collectors. After mining operations ceased, the building served as the U.S. Assay Office for gold and silver from 1895 to 1933. The Federal government sold the building to the state of Nevada, and it now houses the Nevada State Museum will still strikes commemorative coins on the original Number One press like those that struck this coin.

In US President Theodore Roosevelt’s effort to beautify American coinage, famed sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt, known for his sculptural personifications of Art and Science on the Library of Congress, was commissioned to design both sides of a new $5 gold piece. His design is incuse, meaning that the portrait, the eagle, and all of the lettering mostly sits below the table level of the rest of the coin. This can create problems for the dies, because the thin strokes of the letters and numbers are raised on the dies and susceptible to breaking off after numerous strikes.Est. $2000-3500 HWAC# 166188U.S. Gold Coins(by demonination)

At the turn of the twentieth century, US President Theodore Roosevelt believed that American coinage was “artistically of atrocious hideousness.” As designed by noted sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt, the relief of this coin is incuse, where the main features of the portrait, eagle, and lettering are struck below the background surface of the coin rather than raised above it as on most other coinage. This makes the die more challenging to cut, since the raised letters on the die are vulnerable to breaking off during production. The advantage is that the detail on the final coin is more durable since it is somewhat protected from wear.Est. $2500-4000 HWAC# 166187Lot# 1096 1911-D 1911-D US $5 Indian Head PCGS AU58 INSERT NEW DESC 1911-D US$5 Indian Head gold coin, PCGS AU58. Mintage 72,500. This is the second rarest of the series, with only the 1909-O more rare with a mintage of 34,200. The 1911-D quarter eagle is the rarest of that series, and the 1911-D Eagle is the rarest of that series, but not so for the 1911-D $20. Sculptor Bela Lyon Pratt, known for his sculptural personifications of Art and Science on the Library of Congress, was commissioned to design both sides of this $5 gold piece. One of Pratt’s sculptor assistants was Henri Weil who, with his brother Felix Weil, founded the Medallic Art Company in 1910.The 1911 series from Denver deserves special mention. Virtually each of the gold coin denominations from Denver that year are exceedingly rare except the $20. At the time, the US Mint system was undergoing a serious financial review. With all mints in full production in 1909, it was discovered that some Branch Mints were not operating economically, and this was concurrent with a cultural change in the change in use of specific denominations of gold coins. In short, the $20 became the gold coin of choice, and the lower denominations were moving into a realm of uselessness. The first move at reduction came with legislation on March 2, 1911 (expected much earlier) in which the Government issued gold certificates directly against gold bullion and foreign gold coin, “provided that the amount of such bullion in the reserve fund should not at any time exceed one third of the amount of gold certificates outstanding. This legislation will effect an important reduction in the volume of gold coinage (produced.)” [pp7-8 Report of the US Director of the Mint for 1911.]Meanwhile, the labor report on Mint costs was out, and the Denver Mint reduced their staff from 184 employees in 1909 to 100 in 1911.With this bad news came the news from the Director: “The gold quarter eagle is a coin for which there is no demand for in business uses. There is a call for them each year, about the holiday season for gift purposes, and during the remainder of the year they drift back to the Treasury.” The Director recommended complete discontinuation of the series.So now you know- The Denver Mint was under fire for labor overages amid a cultural change where the public use of smaller denomination gold coins was diminished. The 1911 Denver issues thus become the great collectible coins of the period. Est. $4000-7000 HWAC# 166186

As a series itself, the whole series is limited to 1908 through 1916, plus a brief re-emergence in 1929. Only four coins had a mintage in excess of 900,000, so this is a very tough series to collect, though it is easily one of the most beautiful of any US gold coin series. At the turn of the twentieth century, US President Theodore Roosevelt believed that American coinage was “artistically of atrocious hideousness.” An admirer of high-relief, ancient Greek coins, Roosevelt sought a complete redesign, and this is one of the coins that benefitted from his encouragement.Est. $400-800 HWAC# 166185Lot# 1099 1849 1849 Liberty Head $10, AU53, Gold Piece The year of the California Gold Rush: 49ers!

This is a remarkable coin of great rarity and historical importance in the world of US Territorial gold coins. Only nine Baldwin coins appear in the PCGS census, and seven coins in the NGC census. Undoubtedly, many of these are the same coins, broken out of their holders and resubmitted for possible “upgrade.” There are at least two more examples that have never been outside a museum. Only two Baldwin $10’s were recovered from the S.S. Central America. Baldwin was one of the first private coiners, entering the California Gold Rush market in March of 1850 at a time when there was very little circulating coin, and placer gold was the coin of the time. Many merchants were used to “a pinch of gold dust” in exchange for a dollar, but size and purity were a problem. Gold assayers soon ruled the day, melting the gold dust into monetary ingots. But Baldwin’s gold coins, at first very popular, were soon the subject of scorn after James king of William submitted several Baldwin (and others) coins to US Assayer Augustus Humbert, who found the Baldwin $10 to contain $9.74. Soon, English banking entities began their own testing of the California “Territorial” gold coins, and also concluded a similar understanding. Baldwin could not overcome this bad publicity. His coins were bought in as bullion, melted, and sold for their gold value, leaving very few for collectors today. This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to obtain a mint state Baldwin coin.

All of the 1861 coins minted in Charlotte, Dahlonega and New Orleans are of keen and intense interest by Civil War and Confederate collectors. Louisiana joined the Confederacy on Feb. 4, 1861. Five days earlier, the State had seized the US Mint in New Orleans. The story is important and complex (see History of the New Orleans Mint by Doug Winters). Bowers (US Gold Coins, 1982)relates that the US Government struck 5,000 pieces before the State seized the Mint. The State struck 9,750 coins, and the Confederacy struck 2,991 coins for the total of 17,741. Officially, that means 16.7% of the 1861-O $20 gold coins are “Confederate money.” Mint Director Snowden went on the warpath, recommending to Treasury Secretary Samuel P. Chase that the Government remove the 1861-O gold coins from circulation and render them not lawful legal tender. The President and Secretary Chase chose to ignore Mint Director Snowden, and the 1861-O remained legal tender, even though 12,741 coins were struck illegally, which also means they did not have the usual assay checks. A study of the fineness of 1861-O $20 gold coins is thus of great interest. Est. $40000-70000 HWAC# 166265

The story of creating a new design for the US $20 bullion coin is filled with presidential persuasion, artistic inspiration, and production obstruction. President Theodore Roosevelt believed that the American coinage circulating during his administration (designed by the US Mint’s long-time chief engraver, Charles Barber) were, in the president’s words, “artistically of atrocious hideousness.” Roosevelt enlisted friend and famed sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens to design a new $20 gold piece. Saint-Gaudens developed a high-relief design reminiscent of ancient Greek coins admired by Roosevelt. Barber resented the replacement of his own designs and hated the high-relief design that required up to nine blows of the press to complete. After much back-and-forth and strong feelings suppressed and expressed, Barber conceded to a lower-relief version of the same design that only took one strike to finish. The result is what many consider to be the most beautiful of all American circulating coins.Est. $4000-6000 HWAC# 166189Lot# 1123 2013 2013 W Gold Eagle G$25, PF70 Ultra Cameo 2013 W Gold Eagle G$25, PF70 Ultra Cameo.

Assay Office 900 Fine $50 Gold 1852 US Assay Office Fifty dollar “slug”, NGC certified, AU58. This is the only issue of this denomination struck in .900 fineness. Previous US Assay Office fifty dollar gold pieces were of varying fineness, all below 900 fine, which was the standard gold fineness for US gold coins. This coin is variety K-14, “engine turning” reverse, rarity “high R.5” with “31-75 pieces known.” It was noted that 23,800 pieces were struck in early 1853. When the San Francisco branch mint opened in 1854, many large denomination gold pieces were re-coined into Liberty Head double eagles. NGC has graded 53 examples, 10 in AU58, and ten finer. PCGS has graded 89 examples, only eight being finer than this coin. In 1853, the USAO reverted to smaller denomination gold coins of $10 and $20 denomination. Coins of the USAO are official US Mint coins. The $50 octagonal coin or “slug” is unquestionably one of the most highly collected of all US coins. It is one of the most artistic of all US gold coin issues. Est. $75000-150000 HWAC# 165450America’s Favorite CoinThe $50 Gold Slug
