Does anyone know when, specifically what auction and who sold Eliasberg's nongold world coins?

There weren't many of them, but IIRC Heritage sold them as a small part of a Long Beach sale a couple years after ANR sold the gold. I'll let someone else nail down the specifics.

Coin Galleries (division of the old Stacks) April 2010. They were then the property of Louis E. Eliasberg, Jr. But the coins came from the father.

Try this link and look for April 2010.

I recall the Heritage sale was from January 2007. World coins, of course.

So New York, of course. Here’s a link:

In my personal opinion, the Eliasberg World coins, with very few exceptions (such as that ecstatic Eritrea tallero for instance) were mediocre and rather overpriced , already at the time that they were sold (except perhaps the US administration Philippines and Canada, where nothing in particular stood out either), and that was 15 years ago for the silver and 12 years for the gold. I had the chance to buy a couple of gold ones but I passed.

That being said, I love a great pedigree as much as the next guy, but I look at the coin first.

Eliasberg's Latin American and regulated gold, mostly Ex: Clapp, included many irreplaceable coins. I wish I could go back in time and buy some more of them.

I stand corrected then.
