I got a flyer in the mail yesterday from Heritage about their 2015 CSNS auction. I do not see any mega rarities but a lot of super coins. There are 2 1792 Half Dismes one of which is in 64 ex- Eliasberg, 2 1796 dimes in Unc., 2 1796 Quarters one in 64, a 1797 Half Dollar in 64, 3 1795 Flowing Hair Dollars in Unc., a 1802 Dollar in PR 64, 7 Stellas including a complete set, 3 1795 $5 Gold in Unc., 16 pre 1804 $10 Gold, 2 1933 $10 Gold, a complete 1844 Gold Proof set ex- Pittman, and a complete 1859 Gold proof set. Holy crap!!!! Laura complains about not enough fresh material. This ought to help.
I do not have any skin in this sale as I do not have anything consigned to it. I hope that I can find at least one coin in this auction for my sets. That may be tough because my want list is only 9 coins now.
I hope that I can talk the wife into letting me go to the CSNS show.

By fresh material they are typically looking at coins that have been off the market for 10-15 years for more, very solid for grade/pq, and priced to sell. Very few coins meet these requirements.
Newman was fresh. Pogue will be fresh.
MrEureka: <<It's still early. The good stuff will get posted later.>>
Yes, I have been delighted to write about some of the "good stuff." The 1933 Eagle will realize a subsantial amount. I hope that Mr. Eureka inspects the 1859 gold Proof set; I would like to hear or read his opinions about those. I have never seen it.
Did Mr. Eureka ever own that 1880 Coiled Hair Stella?

What do the members of this forum think about the importance of the 1849-C Open Wreath One Dollar Gold piece?
CoinOsaurus: <<The 1844s gold proofs are way cool. There are only two known of each denomination, one in the Smithsonian and one here (ex Pittman). The interesting thing is that even though they only made two of them, these dies were used only for the proofs. >>
Yes, we are on the same wavelength regarding these. I remember, when I saw the Pittman 1843 and 1844 Proof sets, I was stunned. These were among the coolest sets I ever saw. In my current article, I was able to touch upon some of those fond memories. The Pittman Collection was incredible and the auctions were exciting.
As for the Proof-only dies in use during the 1840s, JD has researched these. Later, I spent time thinking about them when I wrote about the controversy over 1841 Quarter Eagles.

From my perspective I didn't see too much in Newman that hammered down at "a price to sell." The prices for pieces that interested me seemed pretty high when you took "the real grade" into account.
As Pogue if the current bids for some things that are not coming down for another month are any indicator, the "riff-raff" has already been run out of the neighborhood.

1905 Indian Cent, Struck on a Quarter Eagle Planchet, MS64 Sole Gold Indian Cent Known of This Date
It will be interesting to see where this TONER COMMEM ends up. It looks pretty intense although I am not knowledgeable enough about toner commems to know if it reaches MONSTER status.
1915-S Panama-Pacific, MS66
Something I know nothing about besides the interesting write-up...and that it sold for $18K four years ago. Seems like an interesting item but still just a cheap widget for the big players. I find it curious that it was in an ANACS holder for the last sale and then again here as well.
1891-O Branch Mint Proof Quarter, PR62 Only Two Specimens Known
This is way cool! But there seem to be 6 graded higher at PCGS.

I think the auction has a ton of interesting and great material.

Bill Jones: <<From my perspective I didn't see too much in Newman that hammered down at "a price to sell." The prices for pieces that interested me seemed pretty high when you took "the real grade" into account. >>
I tentatively assume that Mr. Jones is referring to the Newman sale that occurred in New York in November 2013. A large % (though not close to 100%) of the more appealing coins were fairly graded, IMO. Let us talk about specific coins that sold during the evening session during that epic Newman event.

Bill Jones: <<As Pogue if the current bids for some things that are not coming down for another month are any indicator, the "riff-raff" has already been run out of the neighborhood. >>
Has Mr. Jones carefully examined the coins in the Pogue I sale? I do not find this statement to be fair. There are many wonderful coins in the Pogue collection, including 'not so rare' type coins, that are worth premiums over similar coins that have sold in other contexts.

So do I, as much was implied in my current auction preview. Even so, I suggest that Keyman hire an expert consultant before bidding on the pieces that he just mentioned in this thread.
