I have a small selection of interesting gold coins for sale, odds-and-ends that do not fit the core collection. All will be sold next week at the CSNS show if they are not taken from the BST.
1872 G$1 PCGS AU-58, ex-Norweb:
From a mintage of 3500, 168 are believed to exist in the slabbed population (all grades). Not only is this coin from the fabulous Norweb collection (as noted on the slab insert), but this is one of the few issues that is not part of the Smithsonian collection. $825, delivered.

1854 G$1 PCGS AU-58:
One of my favorite design types in my favorite grade. Common, but not commonly this crusty and original. $1175, delivered.
1835 $5 ANACS AU-50 details (Rims filed):
A decent example for the grade and price, perfect for an album, and offered at quite a discount from its recent Heritage sale. $525, delivered.

1866-S NM $5 NGC VF-25: ON HOLD
One of my favorite coin lores tells us that it took until April of 1866 for the dies boasting the "Motto" to reach the San Francisco Mint. Well, they could not wait, and they struck these half eagles in February of that year, without the mandated "IGWT". This is a scarce coin. Garrett/Guth estimate a total certified population of 42 coins exist from an original mintage of 9000. $1650, delivered.

1847-C $5 PCGS XF-45 $2700 (I really like this one a lot. It has more detail than most other 45's, no obtrusive marks, and nice original surfaces)
