Ian Russell on Fri, Aug 02, 2024 7:56:00 AM

1879-CC GSA Treasure by CACG, 1882-S Morgan NGC MS-68+ CAC, Neon Lights Collection...

Welcome to this week's Top Ten List from GreatCollections, for our Sunday, August 4th auctions.   We have over 5800 certified coins and paper money on offer.


There are special coins in our auctions this week - check out the fresh 1853-D Liberty Gold Half Eagle Large D, graded PCGS AU-58 with CAC approval - this arrived raw at GreatCollections two months ago - and we got it graded at PCGS before sending it to CAC.  It's nice when coins like this come out of the woodwork.


#8 below is a lovely 1907 Barber Quarter PCGS Proof-68 that still resides in the original Rattler holder.  It approved by CAC with lovely toning.


We have another selection of from the lovely Neon Lights Collection.


And although these ten auctions might be perfect for what you're looking for, please be aware that this is only a tiny percentage of the whole auction.  Each week, GreatCollections auctions over 5,000 certified coins and banknotes!  So, if you don't see anything of interest below, be sure to browse our categories or view all upcoming auctions.


Happy collecting!
