This Week's GC Top Ten List - Bidding Ends Sunday, July 23rd, 2023

Ian Russell on Sun, Jul 23, 2023 9:33:12 AM

Historic and Rare NGC Black Holder Set, 1893-CC Morgan PCGS MS-65, Beymer Coins & More

Welcome to this week's Top Ten List from GreatCollections, for our Sunday, July 23rd auctions - our fourth auction of the month.


We are auctioning over 5000 certified coins and notes - with something for everyone.  We have coins from the Personal Collection of legendary coin dealer Jack Beymer - what an honor for us here at GreatCollections.  Most of the coins are very old holders, many with CAC approval.


We have another selection from the Sunset Collection - coins with superior eye appeal.  We're up to part 219 over the past seven or eight years.


For collectors of rare U.S. coins - we have a number of Proof Gold issues including the 1901 Quarter Eagle listed below - graded PCGS Proof-67 DCAM with CAC approval.  


In Modern U.S. coins, we have a V75 Gold Eagle graded Proof-70 DCAM, as well as one graded Proof-69 DCAM.  These have been getting more difficult to find, as more and more people realize the super low mintage.


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!
