This Week's GC Top Ten List - Bidding Ends Sunday, May 28th, 2023

Amazing 1803 Gold Eagle PCGS MS-65 CAC, Carson City Double Eagles, Key Dates, Morgan Dollars...

Welcome to this week's Top Ten List from GreatCollections, for our Sunday, May 28th auctions - our fourth Sunday auction in May featuring over 5,600 certified coins! 


One of the most special coins we have handled - the 1803 Capped Bust Gold Eagle PCGS MS-65 with CAC approval.  It is the Extra Star variety.  This coin is a miracle and we are honored to offer in it's first auction appearance.


We have several Carson City Double Eagles, a selection of high grade Morgan Dollars, key dates, an old rattler hoard and much more.


In Modern Coins, we have the 1995 Superset from the VaultBox Series 2.  The consignor got very lucky by getting this set - and he plans on using the proceeds to fund his upcoming wedding.  It includes the 1995-W Silver Eagle graded NGCX 10 Ultra Cameo.


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!
