Just think it`s special to have any coin with such an important name in numismatics.

    I know someone on the forums that has a Semi-Key(IIRC) Mercury Dime...maybe they will post it.

    I agree.

    What kind of premium does an Eliasberg coin bring?

    I don't own any currently because, well, I sold my collection and started over. But here are a couple I've owned over the years:

    I had 15 Eliasberg World Gold Coins but alas I sold them all with great regret, including a Russian 2 rouble Catherine the Great. But all of them doubled for what I won in auction from ANR. Gold doubled in value when I sold. The 04-05 period was great for purchasing any gold.

    1881-S $5 NGC MS-62* CAC ex-Eliasberg

    This Half Eagle was last auctioned by Scotsman in St. Louis. I was the underbidder, RYK was the high bidder. About a year after the auction, RYK graciously sold it to me. The star designation was awarded for the reflective fields and contrasting devices.

    No pix, but mine is a 1944-P Merc in 65. I think I paid about a $40 premium for the pedigree.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Nice Liberty Nickel, darn nice for a 64!





    << <i>No pix, but mine is a 1944-P Merc in 65. I think I paid about a $40 premium for the pedigree. >>

    I WANT TO SEE IT!!! image That $40 premium sounds pretty darn cheap, I doubt the Newman coins will have a premium so small, but of course we are 17 years later and are in full swing with the internet these days etc.

    I would not assume much of a premium for the less desirable Newman coins.

    Even at Eliasberg, lots of coins brought no premiums. In fact, I bought more than 100 Australian gold sovereigns from the Eliasberg sale for less than melt. (Granted, the buffet lunch had just been set up and the room emptied out almost completely, in seconds!)

    Andy, it will be interesting to see what happens, no doubt about that!

    My favorite coin came from the sale. NGC MS64 RB 1804 large cent restrike. Seriously, the coin is undergraded by 2 points.

    Would you believe, I either have no Eliasberg coins, or I did not bother to make note of it?

    I gave $143 for this in the 1996 Bowers auction. Looks like the value is about the same.

    Here's an 1847 Nicholas I gold 5 rouble. It was purchased by Eliasberg from Stack's on November 7, 1945. Unfortunately, my son left his camera with a friend, and I am unable to get a good photo of the reverse at this time.
  • ziggy29ziggy29 Posts: 18,668 ✭✭✭
    Don't have any now, but have a bit of seller's remorse for an Eliasberg AU-58 1853 trime I owned for a few years a while back.
  • Bayard1908Bayard1908 Posts: 4,067 ✭✭✭✭

    I sold this coin recently. Somebody offered me about triple what the coin was worth without the Eliasberg provenance. I am now missing an 1870 trime from my collection; however, I used the proceeds to buy a PCGS 1858 in the same grade, lol. I'd say my collection is better off without the Eliasberg. Incidentally, this coin was from the Clapp collection, and those are the only Eliasberg coins of interest to me.
  • Bayard1908Bayard1908 Posts: 4,067 ✭✭✭✭

    Nice to see Clapp listed there, instead of just Eliasberg. My regard for Clapp is at least ten times greater than Eliasberg.
