Anyone have the 1999 Pittman Sale catalog?

DennisH

If you do, does the Part Three catalog contain a listing for the 1567 Scotland 30-shillings ryal?
And if you do, could you post a photo of what the description says?

I own that coin now, but I bought it 5 years after the sale. I've always been curious what the catalog description said – and what it sold for.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Will post it later tonight if no one else beats me to it

It’s on the Newman Numismatic Portal.

Thank you SO much!
Alas, my coin was not part of the sale.

Correction... yes it was in the sale!
Lot #3990. It realized $747.50, versus the pre-sale estimate of $500-$700.
It is currently graded VF30 by PCGS.

And he bought it 48 years earlier for $8.05! 😱

Where do you find the prices realized?

It's on the first few pages of the scan.

So are you going to get it reholdered with the Pittman pedigree? (Nodding as I type this.)

It was in an NGC holder with a pedigree when I bought it. I sent it to PCGS almost immediately. It's in a gold shield holder because I tried a regrade once.
