This Week's GC Top Ten List - Bidding Ends Sunday, June 26th, 2022

Bingham Commemoratives Final Part 3, Clover Leaf Error, Ali Collection of Carson City Gold Eagles

Welcome to this week's Top Ten List from GreatCollections, featuring coins in our fourth auction of June - with bidding to end on Sunday, June 26th.


This week features the final group of the Gregg Bingham Silver Commemorative Collection - including our personal favorite from his set - the 1892 Columbian, graded PCGS Proof-68 CAMEO with very attractive toning.


We are also pleased to offer the Ali Collection of Carson City Gold Eagles - a complete set, including one of the finest 1870-CC $10s known, graded PCGS AU-53.


From the Wimbledon Collection is the 1893-S Morgan Silver Dollar graded NGC MS-63, alongside other rarities.  Other highlights include a very rare 1843 Proof Seated Liberty Half Dollar, a recently discovered 1876-S Liberty Gold Half Eagle and Clover Leaf Error Trio of $1 Eisenhowers.  In Bitcoin, we are offering the originally mined blocks in two Ballet titanium bricks.


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 4,000 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!

1851 Braided Hair Half Cent Cohen 1 PCGS Proof-64 BN (CAC Gold Label) (Toned)

Mintage of only 5 pieces, this superb 1851 Half Cent Proof is graded PCGS Proof-64 BN with a Gold CAC sticker (denoting the coin exceeds CAC's strict grading standard). The coin is also Red Brown in our opinion - just superb all around.
