The Strong
Rochester, New York
The Strong, located in Rochester, New York, is a highly interactive
museum devoted to the history and exploration of play and houses
the world’s largest and most comprehensive collection of historical
materials related to play. Margaret Woodbury Strong, a prolific
collector of everyday objects, especially dolls and toys, founded
The Strong in 1968 under the name “Margaret Woodbury Strong
Museum of Fascination.” Before she died in 1969, she bequeathed
her considerable estate to help support the museum, and 13 years
later it opened in a new 156,000-square-foot building on 13.5 acres in
downtown Rochester, New York. Now known simply as The Strong, it
spans more than 282,000 square feet and serves global audiences onsite at the museum, online, and through the work of its International
Center for the History of Electronic Games, the National Toy Hall
of Fame, the Brian Sutton-Smith Library and Archives of Play, the
Woodbury School, and the American Journal of Play.
Born in 1897, Margaret Woodbury Strong grew up an only child in
a wealthy family of collectors. Her father, John Charles Woodbury
(1859–1937), collected coins and recorded life events in scrapbooks.
Her mother, Alice Motley Woodbury (1859–1933), collected 19thcentury Japanese objects d’art. Margaret’s collecting interests ranged
so widely and her methods assumed such aggressive proportions
that by the late 1960s, she had amassed more than 27,000 dolls and
a seemingly endless number of middle-class American household
vi
objects spread over more than 50 categories. The vast majority of her
collections, however, related in some way to play, and she earned a
particular reputation for her outstanding collection of dolls and toys.
The Strong’s coin collection was largely accumulated by Margaret
Strong’s father, John Woodbury. Woodbury served as president of the
Woodbury Whip Company, one of the nation’s largest buggy whip
makers. He also associated with Rochester photographic innovator
George Eastman and had become one of the earliest investors in
Eastman Kodak. Financially secure, Woodbury retired in 1910 with
the means and opportunity to pursue personal interests, including
coin collecting. As the ninth president of the Rochester Numismatic
Association, Woodbury stood among the prominent collectors of
his time.
In 1989, numismatic expert Henry Grunthal appraised The Strong’s
coin collection. His evaluation supported the museum’s decision
in 1990 to deaccession 4,900 coins that Stack’s auctioned later that
year. Now, more than two decades later, The Strong continues to
review and refine all its collections to best support its mission and
its interpretive goals. The items in this sale represent the latest stage
in The Strong’s continuous process of developing an outstanding
collection focused on the subject of play. Funds from the sale of the
museum’s numismatic materials will be dedicated to new acquisitions
and the care and preservation of objects in its collection.
The David Gray Collection
David Gray was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1960 and has remained a
resident of that city for his entire life, graduating from Georgia Tech
with a Bachelor’s degree. He is currently a partner in an engineering
and sales firm in Atlanta where he lives with his wife, Melanie and
their 13-year old daughter. His father, Glenn (who David credits for
starting him down the collecting path) and his mother, Virginia, also
remain in the Atlanta area.
David’s interest in collecting coins started before the age of 10, when
he and his father would use a metal detector to search for coins on
Civil War battlefields in Marietta, Georgia and on the coast of North
Carolina. He found his first Mexican coin using the metal detector
with his dad in Edenton, North Carolina. It was a one-reale in pretty
decent shape as it had never been in the ocean -- this coin is not
included in the current sale. This started David on his collection of
Spanish colonial coins.
As he became more serious about his collection, the first dealer
who helped was Mike Dunnegan. Mike introduced David to Frank
Sedwick and from that point the collection really grew. Frank
encouraged David to narrow his interests down to one area and he
picked the coins of Mexico from 1732 through 1734. This became the
focus of the collection, although David still gathered other coins of
interest. Sedwick also steered David to other dealers who could help
in building the cabinet, such as Richard Long, Richard Ponterio, and
Pat Johnson. It was mainly through this group of numismatists that
the collection was developed over the past quarter of a century.
vii
The George Gund III Collection
George Gund III was a native of Cleveland and a longtime resident
of San Francisco. He divided his time between San Francisco,
New York City, and the entire world, wherever his involvement in
art, independent film, ice hockey, and philanthropy took him. He
acquired most of his coin collection during the 1970s and 1980s, and
the far-reaching geography represented by his collection is indicative
of his love for travel, as well as his respect and enthusiasm for cultures
around the globe.
As part of a family distinguished for wide-ranging philanthropy, Mr.
Gund was a trustee of the George Gund Foundation, a Clevelandbased organization created by his father in 1952 and known for its
support of innovative community and national programs. He was
a co-founder of the Lee and Gund Foundation, and he served on
the boards of the National Museum of the American Indian, George
Gustav Heye Centre in NYC, the Musical Arts Foundation (Cleveland
Orchestra), and the Western Folklife Center in Elko, Nevada. He was
also a member of the Sierra Club National Advisory Board.
In the 1970s, Mr. Gund began importing and distributing Eastern
European films and encouraging independent film production in
the U.S. In addition to being longtime chair of the San Francisco
Film Society, he was a founder of the Cleveland Cinematique, and a
board member of the Cleveland Film Festival. He was a trustee of the
viii
UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, a trustee of the
Sundance Institute, and a former member of the Ohio Film Bureau.
He was also a member of the Committee on Film of the Museum of
Modern Art in New York. He served as a juror at the Moscow and
Istanbul International Film Festivals, as well as at other film festivals
and institutions throughout the world.
Mr. Gund was an avid art collector, with his collections concentrating
on Japanese (Muromachi period) and Northwest Coast Indian Art.
He was also a member of the Board of Trustees of the Cleveland
Museum of Art.
He was the former owner of the San Jose Sharks hockey team, a
former majority owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team,
and was involved with several other NHL teams over the past 30+
years. He also served on the board of the USA Hockey Foundation
and was a member of the USA Hockey International Council.

The Transitional 8 Reales of Philip V
Struck at the Mexico City Mint
1732-1734
By: Kent Ponterio
The Mexico City Mint underwent dramatic changes during the early 1730s. The introduction of new minting equipment and gradual phasing out of older coining methods resulted in a transitional period, when
numerous different coinage types and varieties were produced. The numismatic items recovered from contemporary shipwrecks such as the Rooswijk, Hollandia, Reijgersdaal and 1733 Plate Fleet have greatly expanded
our understanding of the matter. The David Gray collection provides further insight into the mechanization of
the mint and chronology of coinage in this period. Mr. Gray focused heavily on the Mexican coinage during
the 1732-1734 transition period, meticulously collecting for more than two decades. The collection offers a
rare opportunity for Mexican numismatists to study and better understand this series of coins and how they
were produced.
In 1536 the Mexico City Mint became the first mint to produce coins in the New World. Initially the mint
hammered coins by hand, a method that remained in use until it was eventually phased out by the screw press
some time in 1733. A royal decree was issued on June 9, 1728, authorizing the Mexico City Mint to strike new
milled coinage (Pradeau, pg.53). This set in motion a series of events that would drastically change and modernize the mint.
1. Patterns for the new milled coinage (or “Pillar Dollar” as they are often called) dated
1729 were struck at the Madrid Mint in Spain. An example can be seen on pg.x in the
introduction to Frank Gilboy’s book “The Milled Columnarios of Central and South
America”. These were shipped to the New World mints as samples of the new coinage type. One such example is housed in the Mexico City Mint Museum’s collection.
2. New minting equipment was imported from Spain, mechanizing the mint with stateof-the-art machinery.

•Cylindricalpunchesforthecuttingofplanchetsfromsheetsofmetal.
•Edgemillingmachineryenablingcoinstobeproducedwithanornamented
edge, protecting them from clipping and counterfeiting.
After the arrival of the new equipment, the first milled coins or “Pillar Dollars” were struck on March 29,
1732 (Pradeau, pg.53). Prior to this the mint had hammered coins by hand, resulting in pieces known as “cobs”.
Although the origin of the term “cob” is uncertain, it is most likely an abbreviation derived from the Spanish
term “cabo de barra,” meaning end of the bar. This name refers to the planchets’ method of manufacture —
cobs were hand struck on crude planchets that were cut from the end of a silver bar. During 1732, production
continued for “Cobs” and commenced for the first “Milled” coinage.

Most examples are recovered from the 1733 Plate Fleet with a smaller amount from other
wrecks. Non sea salvaged examples are rare and command a large premium. It is interesting
to note that the 1733 Plate Fleet contained only coinage with the single letter “F” assayer’s
letter. The single assayer F 8 Reales appear to be from a rather small mintage. The greatest
majority of specimens are found struck from the same die pairing with a few exceptions. This
is believed to be the first of the pillar coinage struck in 1733 prior to the introduction of the
MX mint mark. One shield side die is found to be a direct die link to the 1733 MX F 8 Reales.

An extremely rare overdate produced from re-cutting unused 1732 MX dies. The 1732 MX
dies are not known to have been used during that production year. It is possible that dies for
this were produced late in 1732 and never used for regular coinage production. Hence the
date was most likely re-cut in 1733 creating this rare overdate. It is also possible, however less
likely, that this is a die cutting error that occurred early in 1733 where the wrong date was
punched into the die and then corrected.

Elusive and very underrated, much rarer than the small crown variety. Examination of shipwreck finds supports this. For example the original sale of coins recovered from the Rooswijk

can also be referred to as the “MX” crown. One of the rarest pillar 8 Reales in the entire 1733
series. The shield side die is found used on 1733 MX MF coinage as well as some examples of
the 1733 Mo MF. A very rare and important hybrid that die links the MX and Mo coinage

1734 8 Reales
There were two major types of 8 Reales struck in 1734, Klippes and Milled “Pillar Dollars”. This year marks
the second and final year of the “Klippe” coinage. Clearly they were only struck for a portion of the year until
they were completely phased out by the Milled “Pillar Dollar”. The majority of 1734 “Klippes” were struck from
recut dies of the previous year, 1733. This would indicate a smaller number of dies were manufactured with the
intent to strike coins. The 1734 Milled “Pillar Dollar” remains fairly common in comparison to the “Klippes”.

Production of “Klippe” Coinage
Although little is published about how “Klippes” were produced, much can be learned through examination
of the coins. For instance, all “Klippes” were struck with aligned dies set at a fixed axis, including the Cobs
struck with Klippe dies. The vast majority of coins examined have a medallic die axis, a small portion of them
have coin die axis and a minute number have a slightly rotated medallic die axis. This information tells us that
all Klippes, including the ones struck on Cob planchets, were in fact machine struck. The planchets for the
1733 transitional coins, or Cobs struck with Klippe dies, were produced in the same manner as traditional
cobs.Klippeplanchetshoweverwereproduceddifferently,firstbyrollingorflatteningsilverintoasheetusing a mule-powered roller press. Planchets were then cut from the sheet and weighed. If needed, adjustment
cuts or clips were made until the planchet was of the correct weight standard. The coin pictured in Fig.4 is an
example of how planchets were cut from sheets. Note the coin has two opposing edges at the top and bottom
showing signs of stress cracks or edge splits (Fig.4.1). These represent the original edges from the sheet of silver
from which the planchet was cut. This coin also contains two opposing cut edges at left and right, showing
evidence of shear marks (Fig.4.2). These marks show where the initial cuts were made creating the planchet.
Adjustment cuts were then made in the corners until the planchet was of the correct weight standard (Fig.4.3).

The exact reason the mint produced Cobs, Klippes and Milled coinage between 1732 and 1734 seems to be
unknown. It’s probable that the mint encountered multiple problems that played a large role in this strange
occurrence. In a 1987 American Numismatic Association, Numismatic Theatre lecture, Clyde Hubbard cited
an original 18th century mint manuscript reporting that three new screw presses, along with other equipment
in route from Spain to Veracruz, Mexico, were lost when the ship carrying them sank off the coast of Little
Cayman Island. The lack of essential equipment, combined with the time needed to properly train personnel
on new minting machinery resulted in the production of several new and fascinating transitional issues during this period. Both state-of-the-art and antiquated minting machinery were in operation simultaneously,
which resulted in the production of several new coinage types unique to this period of Mexican numismatics.
In 1734 the mint discontinued the production of the short-lived Klippes and converted solely to the striking
of milled “Pillar Dollars”.

Luis I Proclamation Medal, ND (1724). 31 mm; 10.61
gms. Betts-150; Grove LI-2. Draped bust of Luis I facing
right,legendaround;Reverse:Eagleoncactusatopcastle
flanked by lions (arms of Mexico City) dividing one line
inscription “MEXICO”, legend around. Pierced, as usual
for issue, and nicely toned throughout. The prototype of
this medal traces back to the 1701 Mexico City proclamation medal of Philip V (Betts-89, the first medal of Mexico), further to the 1700 Philip V proclamation of Cadiz
VQ-12899. The obverse of the 1700 Cadiz proclamation
was used to produce the obverse mold for the 1701 Mexico
City proclamation with only the final digit in the date being changed to a “1”. The reverse mold was created locally
in Mexico City accounting for its debasement in style and
lettering. Further, 23 years later it is clear that the legends
of a 1701 Mexico City medal were altered to use for the
castingofthemedalpresenthere.ARAREandhistorically
interesting medal from the boy king of Spain.The reign of
Luis I is one of the shortest in Spanish history as he ruled
for just over seven months before death from smallpox.

Empire of Iturbide. 8 Escudos, 1822-MoJM. Fr-59; KM-313.1. Type with proper spelling of “AUGUSTINUS”. Augustin I Iturbide
was proclaimed Emperor of Mexico shortly after the War of Independence. This was confirmed by the congress of May 19, 1822. On
June 21st 1822 he was crowned as Augustin I in the cathedral of the capital. He ruled for a short period of less than a year at which
point he was forced to abdicate the throne on March 19th of 1823. The 8 Escudos was the only gold denomination minted in 1822.
It was not until 1823 that the subsidiary 4 Escudos was introduced. Historically significant, as this coin represents the first gold coin
of Mexico post Spanish rule. A very attractive high grade example with good luster and eye appeal. VERY RARE in high grade, especially so in mint state. Tied for finest certified by NGC. NGC MS-62. ................................................................. $30,000-$35,000

is only the third example that we have handled. The first
two were a matched pair as part of the Pradeua Bothamley sales held in the early 1970’s that had the appearance
of being together for a long time, one of which recently
sold as part of the Richard Lissner collection. Both Praduea Bothamley examples exhibited subtle satiny luster
similar to what is found most of the 8 Reales of this issue. This newly discovered example had been part of an
old European collection for the better half of a century
and has only recently come to light. It deviates from the
norm in finish as it has hard semi-mirror like luster and
is struck from dies that are unpublished in the Hubbard
O’Harrow die study. Choice quality with old cabinet toning.

High Grade “Hookneck” 8 Escudos
633
Mexico City. 8 Escudos “Hookneck”, 1823-MoJM. Fr-63; KM-282.1; HO-type-1. Struck shortly after the abdication and exile of the Emperor Iturbide. It is also noted as the first use on a coin of the Mexican eagle perched on a cactus devouring a
snake or “profile eagle” (the current arms of Mexico). The roots of this symbolism date to before the founding of the Republic, in this case it was adapted to represent Mexico’s triumph over evil and the expulsion of European powers. A scarce
and popular one year type, with it’s rarity largely attributed to production starting rather late in the year. A large portion
of the 1823 mintage would have consisted of coinage under Augustine Iturbide. In fact, the authorization to strike the new
republican coinage was not issued until August of 1823, and the new dies did not arrive until November 18 of that year. A
lovely example with light golden toning, exhibiting strong luster. Some minor planchet streaks on the reverse from impurities or carbon in the planchet. All told a really nice and pleasing looking example of this RARE and desirable type coin.

Pattern 50 Centavos, 1907. cf.KM-Pn175. Raised lettered
edge struck in silver. Obverse die signed “CH. PILLET”
by French engraver Charles Pillet. Struck at the Paris mint
with dies marked “ESSAI” on both obverse and reverse.
In anticipation for the centennial of the beginning of the
Mexican war of Independence (1810), the Mexican government began making plans for a new commemorative
coinage. In 1907, the government of Porfirio Diaz commissioned the Paris mint with the task of designing this
new coinage. The job of designing these coins was given
to engraver Charles Pillet. Initially Pillet designed a pattern
for the 50 centavos 1907, with subsequent patterns for the
Pesos in 1908 and 1909. Master dies, punches and an edge
milling device were received in April of 2009 and actual
production began on January 21, 2010; however, the 50
Centavos denomination was never struck for circulation.
Dark toning with some wear on the high
points. Considered by many to be one of the
most elegant of all Mexican coinage designs.

Paris Mint Pattern Caballito Peso
664
Pattern Peso, 1909. KM-Pn179. Incuse lettered edge struck in silver. Obverse die signed “CH. PILLET” by French engraver
Charles Pillet. Struck at the Paris mint with dies marked “ESSAI” on both obverse and reverse. In anticipation for the centennial of the beginning of the Mexican war of Independence (1810), the Mexican government began making plans for a
new commemorative coinage. In 1907 the government of Porfirio Diaz commissioned the Paris mint with the task of designing these new coins. The job of designing this coinage was given to engraver Charles Pillet. Initially Pillet designed a
pattern for the 50 Centavos 1907, with subsequent patterns for the Pesos in 1908 and 1909. Master dies, punches and an
edge milling device were received in April of 2009 and actual production began on January 21, 2010. This new coinage was
radically different than anything Mexico had produced in the past. Not only did it not bear the Mexico City mintmark,
there was also no mark of fineness or assayers letters. Never the less, the piece was met with great approval and is considered today to be one of Mexico’s most beautiful and highly collected coins. Some minor doubling on the reverse, not totally
unexpected for a proof striking. Bright white surfaces with good proof or specimen luster. RARE and highly sought after.

The Finest Certified Key Date 2 Centavos
678
2 Centavos, 1922. KM-419. EXTREMELY RARE and seldom encountered key date of the 2 Centavos series. It seems most
likely that the mint produced the dies and struck some coins intended for circulation, but never received the order from the
Federal Reserve to introduce into circulation. The few pieces that were introduced into circulation endured a lot of wear and are
usually found in low grade with corrosion. This example is the finest certified by either NGC or PCGS, with the second highest piece at a mere AU-58 Brown by PCGS. The obverse design is dominated by a laurel and oak wreath, with the mintmark
“Mo” monogram just below. A large “2 ¢” monogram provides the central element, with the date of 1922 just above; Reverse:
two small sprigs are bound together; one oak and the other laurel provide the nadir of the design. Just above this, springing
from a dirt mound stands the quintessential prickly pear cactus, with branches splitting off horizontally providing an excellent
perch. The proud Mexican golden eagle stands defiantly atop its roost, wings spread, and clutching a serpent in its talon, which
is writhing and struggling to break free but its upper portion is grasped by the eagle’s beak. The inscription states “ESTADOS
UNIDOS MEXICANOS”. The state of preservation on this coin is impeccable, with an attractive chocolaty brown with an abundance of underlying orange mint luster. A remarkable coin that would highlight even the finest twentieth century collection.

Pattern 5 Pesos Struck in Silver, 1960. Unpublished. An
official Mexico City mint pattern for the 5 Pesos silver
commemorative series. The commemorative 5 Pesos series ended in 1959 with the final issue being the centennial of Carranza’s birth. The pattern here represents an
un-adopted design submitted the following year (1960)
to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Mexican aviation. The obverse design depicts famous Mexican aviator
Albero Braniff flying left in his airplane above the hills
surrounding Mexico City. The legend reads “CINCUENTENARIO AVIACION NACIONAL” or 50th anniversary of
national aviation with a date of 1910-1960, “A. BRANIFF”
in small letters above the date. Braniff studied abroad in
Europe where he took an interest in the new and thriving
field of aviation. While in Paris he purchased a French built
airplane which he had shipped back to Mexico via boat.
His achievements in aviation made him somewhat of a
celebrity and symbol of national hope and pride. Braniff
is recorded as not only being the first pilot to fly an airplane in Mexico, but all of Latin America. He paved the
way for other Latin American aviators including Argentina’s Jorge Newbery and Peru’s Jorge Chavez. VERY RARE
and the first example of this pattern we have handled.

Pattern 50 Centavos Struck in Nickel, 1959. KM-unlisted.
Pattern or experimental issue for the Cuauhtemoc 50
Centavos. The larger 33mm diameter Cuauhtemoc 50
Centavos were produced in bronze for regular circulation
from 1955-1959. In 1964 the series was reintroduced on a
smaller 25 mm planchet stuck in copper-nickel. The pattern or experimental piece offered here is stuck in Nickel
at the reduced 25 mm size date 1959 (the final year of the
larger bronze issues). The change in size and metal are a
result of proposed solutions to minimalize the costs of
manufacturing coinage. Copper-nickel was eventually
chosen as the metal of preference for circulation with the
series recommencing in 1964, continuing on until 1983.
Minor design changes are noted as the mintmark is removed from before the date and placed on the opposite site
before the eagle. An experimental pattern for the Morelos
Peso also exists for this year. VERY RARE and interesting.

Terms & Conditions
1. Auction Basics. This is a public auction sale (“Auction Sale”) conducted by bonded
auctioneers, Stack’s Bowers Galleries or Stack’s Bowers and Ponterio (hereinafter referred to as “Auctioneer” and at times as “Stack’s Bowers”). Bidding in this Auction
Sale constitutes acceptance by you (“Bidder”) of all the Terms of Sale stated herein.
Bidders may include consignors who may bid and purchase lots in the Auction Sale
consigned by the consignor or by other consignors pursuant to their consignment
agreement with Stack’s Bowers (“Consignor” or “Consignors”). A Consignor that bids
on their own lots in the Auction Sale may pay a different fee than the Buyer’s Premium charged to all other Buyers. Stack’s Bowers reserves the right to include in any
auction sale its own material as well as material from affiliated or related companies,
principals, officers or employees. Stack’s Bowers may have direct or indirect interests
in any of the lots in the auction and may collect commissions. THE TWO PRECEEDING SENTENCES SHALL BE DEEMED A PART OF THE DESCRIPTION OF ALL
LOTS CONTAINED IN THE CATALOG. Where the Consignor has repurchased a lot
and the lot is either returned to the Consignor or otherwise dealt with or disposed
of in accordance with the Consignor’s direction, or pursuant to contractual agreement, Stack’s Bowers reserves the right to so note in the prices realized or to omit a
price from the prices realized. Stack’s Bowers and its affiliates may bid for their own
account at any auction. Stack’s Bowers and its affiliates may have information about
any lot that is not known publicly, and Stack’s Bowers and its affiliates reserves the
right to use such information, in a manner determined solely by them and for their
benefit, without disclosing such information in the catalog, catalog description or at
the auction. Bidder acknowledges and agrees that Stack’s Bowers and its affiliates are
not required to pay a Buyer’s Premium, or other charges that other Bidders may be required to pay and may have access to information concerning the lots that is not otherwise available to the public. Any claimed conflict of interest or claimed competitive
advantage resulting therefrom is expressly waived by all participants in the Auction
Sale. Lots may carry a reserve (“Reserve”). A Reserve is a price or bid below which the
Auctioneer will not sell an item or will repurchase on behalf of the Consignor or for
Stack’s Bowers. Reserves may be confidential and not disclosed. The Buyer is the Bidder who makes the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer, and includes the principal
of any Bidder acting as an agent.
When identical bids are received for a lot, preference is given to the first bid received
as determined by the Auctioneer. A mail bid will take precedence over an identical
floor bid; a Floor Bidder, Telephone Bidder and Live Internet Bidder must bid higher
than the highest mail bid to be awarded any lot. Cut bids are only accepted on bids
greater than $500 and each bidder may only execute one cut bid per lot. Bids will not
be accepted from persons under eighteen (18) years of age without a parent’s written
consent which acknowledges the Terms of Sale herein and agrees to be bound thereby
on behalf of the underage Bidder. The auction sale is complete when the Auctioneer
so announces by the fall of the hammer or in any other customary manner.
2. Descriptions and Grading. Bidder acknowledges that grading of most coins and
currency in this Auction has been determined by independent grading services, and
those that are not may be graded by Stack’s Bowers. Grading of rare coins and currency is subjective and, even though grading has a material effect on the value of the
coins and currency, grading may differ among independent grading services and
among numismatists. Stack’s Bowers is not responsible for the grades assigned by
independent grading services, and makes no warranty or representation regarding
such grades. Bidder further acknowledges and agrees that grades assigned by Stack’s
Bowers and lot descriptions are based solely upon an examination of the coins and
currency and are intended to identify coins and currency and note any perceived
characteristics. However, coin grading and descriptions are subjective. Stack’s Bowers
does not warrant the accuracy of such grading or descriptions, nor do they in any way
form the basis for any bid. All photographs in this catalog are of the actual items being
sold but may not be the actual size or to scale.
4. Bidder Registration Required. All persons seeking to bid must complete and sign
a registration card either at the auction or online, or otherwise qualifying to bid, as
determined in the sole discretion of the Auctioneer. By submitting a bid, the Bidder
acknowledges that Bidder has read the Terms and Conditions of Auction Sale, the
descriptions for the lot(s) on which they have bid, and that they agree to be bound by
these Terms of Sale. This agreement shall be deemed to have been made and entered
in California. The Bidder acknowledges that the invoice describing a lot by number
incorporates the catalog and Terms of Sale. Person appearing on the OFAC list are
not eligible to bid.
3. The Bidding Process. The Auctioneer shall have the right to open or accept the
bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the Consignor or his or her agent;
a Bidder by mail, telephone, Internet or telefax; or any other participant in the Auction Sale. Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot constitutes a separate sale. All
bids (excluding Internet bids) must be in increment as established by the Auctioneer,
or half increment (a cut bid). Non-conforming bids will be rounded up or down to
the nearest full or half increment and this rounded bid will be the bidder’s high bid.
No lot will be broken up unless otherwise permitted by the Auctioneer. Lots will be
sold in their numbered sequence unless Auctioneer directs otherwise. All material
shall be sold in separate lots to the highest Bidder as determined by the Auctioneer.
Auctioneer shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to accept or decline any bid, establish bid increments, challenge any bid or bidding increment, to
reduce any mail bid received, adjudicate all bidding disputes, to exclude any bidder
and to determine the prevailing bid. The Auctioneer shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to rescind the acceptance of any bid and place the lot(s) for Auction Sale
again. Auctioneer’s decision on all bidding disputes shall be binding and final. For the
mail and Internet Bidder’s protection, no “unlimited” or “buy” bids will be accepted.
6. Payment. Payment is due immediately upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer.
Payment is delinquent and in default if not received in full, in good funds, within
fourteen (14) calendar days of the Auction Sale (the “Default Date”), without exception, time being of the essence. Unless otherwise agreed in writing prior to the
Auction Sale, all auction sales are payable strictly in immediately available good U.S.
funds, through a bank in the United States. Payments may be made by credit card,
Paypal, check, wire transfer, money order and cashier’s check. Cash transactions will
be accepted in the sole discretion of Stack’s Bowers, and if accepted, for any cash
transaction or series of transactions exceeding $10,000, a Treasury Form 8300 will be
filed. Contact Stack’s Bowers for wiring instructions before sending a wire. We accept
payment by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover or Paypal for invoices up
to $2,500, with a maximum of $10,000 in any 30 day period. All payments are subject
to a clearing period. Checks drawn on U.S. banks will be subject to up to a 10 business
day hold, and checks drawn on foreign banks will be subject to a 30 day hold. Stack’s
Bowers reserves the right not to release lots for which good funds have not yet been
received. On any past due accounts, Stack’s Bowers reserves the right, without notice,
to extend credit and impose carrying charges (as described below). Buyers agree to
THIS IS NOT AN APPROVAL SALE. Bidders who physically attend the Auction sale,
either personally or through an agent (“Floor Bidders”) should carefully examine all
lots which they are interested in purchasing. Bidders who bid by telephone, either
personally or through an agent, or through our live auction software receive a similar
benefit as Floor Bidders in being able to actively participate in the live Auction Sale
(“Telephone Bidders” and “Live Internet Bidders”). Except as otherwise expressly
provided in these Terms of Sale, NO PURCHASED ITEMS MAY BE RETURNED FOR
ANY REASON. All prospective Bidders who examine the lot(s) prior to the Auction
Sale personally assume all responsibility for any damage that Bidder causes to the
lot(s). Stack’s Bowers shall have sole discretion in determining the value of the damage caused, which shall be promptly paid by such Bidder.
Certain auctions (iAuctions), will be conducted exclusively over the Internet, and bids
will be accepted only from pre-registered Bidders.
STACK’S BOWERS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ERRORS IN BIDDING. All Bidders should make certain to bid on the correct lot and that the bid is the bid intended.
Once the hammer has fallen and the Auctioneer has announced the Buyer, the Buyer
is unconditionally bound to pay for the lot, even if the Buyer made a mistake. Stack’s
Bowers reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time, even after the hammer has
fallen, until the Buyer has taken physical possession of the lot. No participant in the
Auction Sale shall have a right to claim any damages, including consequential damages if a lot is withdrawn, even if the withdrawal occurs after the Auction Sale.
5. Buyer’s Premiums. A premium of seventeen and one-half percent (17 1/2%) based
upon the total amount of the hammer (minimum of $15), will be added to all purchases of individual lots, regardless of affiliation with any group or organization (the
“Buyer’s Premium”). A reacquisition charge may apply to Consignors pursuant to a
separate agreement, which may be higher or lower than the Buyer’s Premium.
225
Terms & Conditions (cont.)
pay reasonable attorney’s fees and cost incurred to collect past due accounts. Buyers
personally and unconditionally guarantee payment in full of all amounts owed to
Stack’s Bowers. Any person submitting bids on behalf of a corporation or other entity,
by making such bid, agrees to be personally jointly and severally liable for the payment of the purchase price and any related charges and the performance of all Buyer
obligations under these Terms of Sale and Stack’s Bowers reserves the right to require
a written guarantee of such payments and obligations. Bidders who have not established credit with Stack’s Bowers must furnish satisfactory information and credit
references and/or deposit at least twenty-five percent (25%) of their total bids for that
Auction Sale session(s) or such other amount as Stack’s Bowers may, in its sole and
absolute discretion require before any bids from such Bidder will be accepted. Deposits submitted will be applied to purchases. Any remaining deposits will be promptly
refunded, upon clearance of funds.
7. Sales Tax. Buyers will be charged all applicable sales tax, including Buyers who
pick up at this Auction or shipments to Buyers in California and New York without a
valid Resale Certificate which has been provided to the Auctioneer prior to the auction. Please note that the purchase of any coin or bullion lot(s) with a price, including
the Buyer’s Premium, in excess of: (i) One Thousand Dollars ($1,000), for auctions
held in Maryland, are exempt from Maryland sales tax, and (ii) One Thousand Five
Hundred Dollars ($1,500) are exempt from California sales tax. These exemptions
do not apply purchases of currency. Purchases of coins and currency are exempt
from sales tax in Illinois. Purchases of coins and bullion are exempt from sales tax in
Pennsylvania, but currency purchased at auctions held in Pennsylvania are subject to
Pennsylvania sales tax. Please note, this is not, and is not intended to be, a complete
description of applicable sales tax laws in all jurisdictions. In the event any applicable sales tax is not paid by Buyer that should have been paid, even if not such tax
was not collected by Stack’s Bowers by mistake, error, negligence or gross negligence,
Buyer nonetheless remains fully liable for and agrees to promptly pay such taxes on
demand, together with any interest or penalty that may be assessed by the taxing
authority.
8. Financial Responsibility. In the event any applicable conditions of these Terms
of Sale herein are not complied with by a Buyer or if the Buyer fails to make payment
in full by the Default Date, Stack’s Bowers reserves the right, in its sole discretion, in
addition to all other remedies which it may have at law or in equity to rescind the sale
of that lot or any other lot or lots sold to the defaulting Buyer, retaining all payments
made by Buyer as liquidated damages, it being recognized that actual damages may
be speculative or difficult to compute, and resell a portion or all of the lots held by
Stack’s Bowers, in a commercially reasonable manner, which may include a public
or private sale, in a quantity sufficient in the opinion of Stack’s Bowers to satisfy the
indebtedness, plus all accrued charges, and Stack’s Bowers may charge a seller’s commission that is commercially reasonable. More than one such sale may take place at
the option of Stack’s Bowers. If Stack’s Bowers resells the lots, Buyer agrees to pay for
the reasonable cost of such sale, together with any incidental costs of sale, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, cataloging and any other reasonable charges.
Notice of the sale shall be by U.S.P.S. Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested to the
address utilized on the Bid Sheet, Auction Consignment and Security Agreement or
other last known address by Stack’s Bowers. The proceeds shall be applied first to the
satisfaction of any damages occasioned by Buyer’s breach, then to any other indebtedness owed to Stack’s Bowers, including without limitation, commissions, handling
charges, carrying charges, the expenses of both sales, seller’s fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, collection agency fees and costs and any other costs or expenses
incurred. Buyer shall also be liable to Stack’s Bowers for any deficiency if the proceeds
of such sale or sales are insufficient to cover such amounts.
Buyer grants to Stack’s Bowers, its affiliates and assignees, the right to offset any sums
due, or found to be due to Stack’s Bowers, and to make such offset from any past,
current, or future consignment, or purchases that are in the possession or control
of Stack’s Bowers; or from any sums due to Buyer by Stack’s Bowers, its affiliates and
assignees. In addition, defaulting Buyers will be deemed to have granted to Stack’s
Bowers, its affiliates and assignees, a security interest in: (x) the purchased lots and
their proceeds, and (y) such sums or other items and their proceeds, in the possession
of Stack’s Bowers, its affiliates or assignees, to secure all indebtedness due to Stack’s
Bowers and its affiliated companies, plus all accrued expenses, carrying charges, seller’s fees, attorney fees, and costs, until the indebtedness is paid in full. Buyer grants
Stack’s Bowers the right to file a UCC-1 financing statement for such items, and to
226
assign such interest to any affiliated or related company or any third party deemed
appropriate by Stack’s Bowers. If the auction invoice is not paid for in full by the Default Date, a carrying charge of one-and-one-half percent (1-1/2%) per month may
be imposed on the unpaid amount until it is paid in full. In the event this interest rate
exceeds the interest permitted by law, the same shall be adjusted to the maximum rate
permitted by law, and any amount paid in excess thereof shall be allocated to principal. Buyer agrees to pay all reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs and other collection
costs incurred by Stack’s Bowers or any affiliated or related company to collect past
due invoices or to interpret or enforce the terms hereof or in any action or proceeding arising out of or related to the Auction Sale. Stack’s Bowers reserves the right to
assign its interest to any third party. To the extent that the Buyer for any lot consists
of more than one person or entity, each such person or entity is jointly and severally
liable for all obligations of the Buyer, regardless of the title or capacity of such person
or entity. Stack’s Bowers shall have all the rights of a secured creditor under Article 9
of the California Commercial Code and all rights of the consignor to collect amounts
due from the Buyer, whether at law or equity.
9. Shipping. It is the Buyer’s responsibility to contact Stack’s Bowers after the sale to
make shipping and packaging arrangements. Due to the fragile nature of some lots,
Stack’s Bowers may elect not to assume responsibility for shipping or packing, or may
charge additional shipping and handling. Lots indicated as being “framed” or that
are specifically identified in the catalog are shipped at Buyer’s risk. All taxes, postage, shipping, if applicable, handling, insurance costs, the Buyer’s Premium, and any
other fees required by law to be charged or collected will be added to the invoice for
any lots invoiced to Buyer. All lots will be shipped FOB Destination, freight prepaid
and charged back. Title and risk of loss pass to the Buyer at the destination upon tender of delivery. Acceptance of delivery constitutes acceptance of the purchased lots.
Inspection of the purchased lots is not required for acceptance. Any and all claims
based upon Buyer’s failure to receive a purchased lot, Buyer’s receipt of a lot in damaged condition, or otherwise related to delivery, must be received in writing by Stack’s
Bowers no later than the earlier of thirty (30) days after payment, or the date of the
Auction Sale (the “Outside Claim Date”). As Buyers may not receive notification of
shipment, it is Buyer’s responsibility to keep track of the Outside Claim Date and
make timely notification of any such claim. The failure to make a timely claim, time
being of the essence, shall constitute a waiver of any such claim. Orders paid by credit
card will only be shipped to the verified address on file with the credit card merchant.
10. DISCLAIMER AND WARRANTIES. NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE IS MADE OR IMPLIED ON ANY
LOT. NO WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOT EXCEPT FOR WARRANTY OF TITLE, AND IN THE CASE OF
TITLE, AUCTIONEER IS SELLING ONLY THAT RIGHT OR TITLE TO THE LOT
THAT THE CONSIGNOR MAY HAVE AS OF THE AUCTION SALE DATE. ALL
LOTS ARE SOLD “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. PURCHASER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS CONCERNING AND RELATED TO THE GRADING, QUALITY,
DESCRIPTION, CONDITION, AUTHENTICITY, AND PROVENANCE OF A LOT.
a. COINS AND CURRENCY LISTED IN THIS CATALOG GRADED BY PCGS, NGC,
ANACS CACHET, ICG, PCGS CURRENCY, PMG OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY
GRADING SERVICE OR EXAMINED BY THE BUYER PRIOR TO THE AUCTION
SALE MAY NOT BE RETURNED FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER BY ANY
BUYER, EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS RELATED TO AUTHENTICITY.
b. For non-certified coins and currency that have not been examined by the Buyer
prior to the Auction Sale: if it is determined in a review by Stack’s Bowers that there
is a material error in the catalog description of a non-certified coin or currency or the
coin or currency is not authentic, such lot may be returned, provided written notice
is received by Stack’s Bowers no later than seventy-two (72) hours of delivery of the
lots in question, and such lots are returned and received by Stack’s Bowers, in their
original, sealed containers, no later than fourteen (14) calendar days after delivery, in
the same condition the lot(s) were delivered to the Buyer, time being of the essence.
c. If an item or items are returned pursuant to the terms herein, they must be housed
in their original, sealed and unopened container.
d. Late remittance or removal of any item from its original container, or altering a
coin constitutes just cause for revocation of all return privileges.
Terms & Conditions (cont.)
e. Grading or condition of rare coins and currency may have a material effect on the
value of the item(s) purchased, and the opinion of others (including independent
grading services) may differ with the independent grading services opinion or interpretation of Stack’s Bowers. Stack’s Bowers shall not be bound by any prior, or subsequent opinion, determination or certification by any independent grading service.
f. Questions regarding the minting of a coin as a “proof ” or as a “business strike”
relate to the method of manufacture and not to authenticity.
g. All oral and written statements made by Stack’s Bowers and its employees or agents
(including affiliated and related companies) are statements of opinion only, and are
not warranties or representations of any kind, unless stated as a specific written warranty, and no employee or agent of Stack’s Bowers has authority to vary or alter these
Terms and Conditions of Auction Sale. Stack’s Bowers reserves the right to vary or
alter the Terms of Sale, either generally or with respect to specific persons or circumstances, in its sole discretion. Any variation or alteration shall be effective only if in
writing and signed by an officer of Stack’s Bowers authorized to do so.
h. Stack’s Bowers is acting as an auctioneer. Title to the lots purchased passes directly
from the Consignor to the Buyer. Accordingly, Stack’s Bowers is not making, and disclaims, any warranty of title.
i. Bidder acknowledges that the numismatic market is speculative, unregulated and
volatile, and that coin prices may rise or fall over time. Stack’s Bowers does not guarantee or represent that any customer buying for investment purposes will be able to
sell for a profit in the future.
j. Bidder acknowledges and agrees that neither Stack’s Bowers, nor its employees,
affiliates, agents, third-party providers or consignors warrant that auctions will be
unimpaired, uninterrupted or error free and accordingly shall not be liable for such
events.
11. Waiver and Release. Bidder, for himself, his heirs, agents, successors and assignees, generally and specifically waives and releases, and forever discharges Stack’s
Bowers, and its respective affiliates, parents, officers, directors, shareholders, agents,
subsidiaries, employees, managers and members and each of them, and their respective successors and assignees from any and all claims, rights, demands and causes
of actions and suits, of whatever kind or nature, including but not limited to claims
based upon Auctioneer’s negligence, whether in law or equity, tort or otherwise,
whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected (a “Claim”), which Bidder
may assert with respect to and/or arising out of, or in connection with any challenge
to the title to or authenticity of any goods purchased, the sale itself, any lot bid upon
or consigned, and/or the auction, except where such Claim is otherwise expressly
authorized in these Terms of Sale. It is the intention of Bidder that this waiver and
release shall be effective as a bar to each and every Claim that may arise hereunder or
be related to the Auction Sale, and Bidder hereby knowingly and voluntarily waives
any and all rights and benefits otherwise conferred upon him by the provisions of
Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads in full as follows:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE
TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER
MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE
DEBTOR.”
12. Disputes. If a dispute arises concerning ownership of a lot or concerning proceeds of any sale, Stack’s Bowers reserves the right to commence a statutory interpleader proceeding at the expense of the Consignor and Buyer and any other applicable party, and in such event shall be entitled to its reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs. Stack’s Bowers reserves the right to cancel or postpone the Auction Sale or any
session thereof for any reason whatsoever. No Bidder shall have any claim as a result
thereof, including for incidental or consequential damages. Neither Stack’s Bowers
nor any affiliated or related company shall be responsible for incidental or consequential damages arising out of any failure of the Terms of Sale, the auction or the conduct
thereof and in no event shall such liability exceed the purchase price, premium, or
fees paid. Rights granted to Bidders under the within Terms and Conditions of Auction Sale are personal and apply only to the Bidder who initially purchases the lot(s)
from Stack’s Bowers. The rights may not be assigned or transferred to any other per-
son or entity, whether by sale of the lot(s), operation of law or otherwise. Any attempt
to assign or transfer any such rights shall be absolutely void and unenforceable. No
third party may rely on any benefit or right conferred by these Terms and Conditions
of Auction Sale.
Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms of Sale, the Auction Sale or any lot,
with the sole exception of actions by Stack’s Bowers to collect amounts owed to it and
other damages, shall be submitted to binding arbitration pursuant to the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, with any arbitration
hearing to occur in Orange County, California. Absent an agreement of the parties,
the arbitrator shall limit discovery to that which is necessary to enable the hearing
to proceed efficiently. The arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive or
consequential damages, nor alter, amend modify any of the terms of this Agreement.
The award by the arbitrator, if any, may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof. Each party shall pay one-half the costs of the arbitration. Bidder acknowledges and agrees that the competent courts of the State of California shall have exclusive
in personam jurisdiction, subject to the requirement to arbitrate, over any dispute(s)
arising hereunder, regardless of any party’s current or future residence or domicile.
Bidder further agrees that venue of the arbitration proceeding shall be in Orange
County, California; and any court proceeding shall be in the Orange County Superior
Court, in the State of California, and in each case waive any claim of Forum Non Conveniens. Bidder agrees that any arbitration or legal action with respect to this Auction
Sale is barred unless commenced within one (1) year of the date of this Auction Sale.
AUCTION PARTICIPANTS EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
13. General Terms. These Terms and Conditions of Auction Sale and the auction
shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of
the State of California, regardless of the location of the Auction Sale. These Terms of
Sale and the information on the Stack’s Bowers’ website constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto on the subject matter hereof and supersede all other
agreements, understandings, warranties and representations concerning the subject
matter hereof. If any section of these Terms of Auction Sale or any term or provision
of any section is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable by any court of competent
jurisdiction, the remaining sections or terms and provisions of a section shall continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way. Stack’s
Bowers may at its sole and absolute discretion, make loans or advances to Consignors
and/or Bidders.

eight times the amount of the maximum expenditure. This is a personal service and
a Stack’s Bowers customer representative will personally attend to your bid sheet by
bidding from the auction floor, buying lots for your account until your authorized
expenditure is reached. While we will do our best in your behalf, due to the speed of
the auction sale and the sometimes crowded conditions, we cannot be responsible for

offered only to bidders with maximum expenditures of $1,000 or more.
We invite you to take advantage of the optional 10% to 30% increase to help your
chance of being a successful bidder. Check the appropriate place on your bid sheet.
