This is Tiffany Money as far as I'm concerned:

Very cool! Do we know the names of the brothers in Tiffany Bros. of Buffalo, NY?

Oscar and Nelson.

Thanks for the names!

If these were done in the 1870s, then the brothers would have been in their 30s.

Nelson Otis Tiffany (1842 - 1917)

Oscar Fitzallen Tiffany (1840 - ?)

The following is a biography of Nelson through the 1900s which doesn't indicate the printing business.

Married, in Buffalo, N. Y., January 23, 1868, Julia Charlotte Chase (b. Buffalo, N. Y., September 28, 1843 ; d. there February 20, 1891), dau. of Wesley Chase and Dolly Ann Bush. After his mother's death, Mr. Tiffany was assigned to her brother, for whom he worked until he was seventeen, when he started out for himself, having a hard time for a number of years. Appreciating the value of an education, he studied by himself. He went to Buffalo and worked for Wesley Chase & Son, furniture dealers. He soon became superintendent, and finally married the daughter of his employer. Mr. Tiffany then went to Chicago as superintendent for A. H. Andrews & Co., extensive manufacturers of school and church furniture. His strength gave way, and he returned to Buffalo, where he went into the sewing machine business, later managing an office in New York City. He then returned to Buffalo and took a scholarship in the medical department of the University of Buffalo. After a year of study, he was urged to take the secretaryship and general management of the Masonic Life Association of Western New York, which he has built up most successfully. He retains this position at the present time, 1900, having served in this capacity for more than sixteen years. He took a deep interest in the publication of this work, and, after several interviews with Mr. Charles L. Tiffany, who proposed and started the genealogy, he agreed to carry the work forward, so that the data gathered, on which so much labor and money had been spent, should not be lost to the family, leaving its elaboration and completion to a future generation. In view of his connection with this work, his portrait appears therein.

Was watching that lot at Stacks and wondering if Stefanie was going to go after it. Some interesting pieces in it.
Sold for $780. A bargain?

Agree. I wonder who picked it up?

I’m actively purchasing coins as most here know my health has not been the best……but I’m hanging in there!
I’m not so sure it’s a bargain price. What might bring the value up is the error one.

I have the Twenty Five, Fifty and One hundred
What little information on these is scarce I have found out that serial numbers on them were spent.

I haven’t had the Twenty imaged and graded yet.They are silver
I will haven't sent in the Fifty yet. It too has a serial number. These are also silver
And, I’m waiting on the Hundred dollar image and grade. These are silver with gold gilt. Some only silver
To find a hundred coin with a serial number is severely difficult
If I get the Hundred soon I will post the truview.

I have noticed they do go for higher than I thought they would be but I couldn’t refuse.
If it’s weird(cool looking) and toned I try buying them

PS….i did manage to buy a few very cool ones and will post those soon.

Great to hear from you Stef! You have a great eye and wonderful pieces!

I agree the error is really neat and might drive up the value.
