Mail Bid Sale No. 45 is less than a month away. A dazzling array of high grade and rare bust
halves may be previewed on my web site, www.sheridanscoins.com. Thanks to Lance Keigwin, photos of every coin
in the sale will be found there.
Part 1 of the sale consists of 49 coins from the renowned
collection of Keith Davignon.
Descriptions of Keith’s coins, including their provenance, are already
posted. One highlight of Keith’s
consignment is a stunning 1815/2 graded PCGS AU 55, with CAC
approval.
Part 2 of the Sale,
lots 50 through 107, is an exciting assortment of bust half-dollars from
various consignors. The lead coin, lot
50, is Don Frederick’s 1806 Knob 6, No Stem Thru Claw, O.108a, one of only two
known with a massive reverse rim cud. It
is graded PCGS VG 8. Lot
55 is a beautifully toned 1807 Large Stars O.114 graded PCGS MS 63, a coin that
has been off the market for nearly 30 years.
Part 3 of the Sale,
lots 108 through 117, consists of contemporary counterfeit capped bust halves
from the reference collection of Mark Glazer.
Descriptions of the coins in Parts 2 and 3 of the Sale
will be posted over the coming weeks.
Live bidding will commence on or about July 20.
Below, I have provided photos of Davignon’s 1815/2 and the
remarkable 1807 Large Stars. Click on either photo to enlarge the image
All JRCS members are invited to participate in the
sale. Bidder registration is
simple. Just follow the link on the Home
Page of my web site.
Best,
Sheridan
PS Did I mention the fact that TWO 1823 Ugly 3's are in the Sale,
each graded PCGS AU 58!

These early silver issues have been consigned to Heritage Auctions
for auction at the Denver ANA (July 31 - Aug
7). Some pieces have outstanding eye appeal*. All are PCGS encapsulated. I am
aware that survey, rarity and condition census ratings may not be considered authoritative
and are presented here for information only. There are a few choice lots
outside the early silver issues.
You may view and bid on my entire consignment in Heritage
auction #1258 at the following link:
Many images are posted now. Internet bidding will begin
about July 14.
