Bidding will be ending soon for the Heritage Summer Fun U.S. Coins Auction, as lots will be closing from July 6-9, 2017. The auction is divided into four sessions, which include three floor sessions and one internet session.

Coins in this auction include a 1652 Pine Tree Shilling, MS64, Noe-7, Large Planchet. This near-Gem Pine Tree shilling exhibits freshly-struck eye appeal across lustrous, silver surfaces that reveal pleasing iridescence. The planchet is irregularly shaped with an up and down rocker press wave and with clips present, primarily at left and right. Portions of the legends are absent as a result.

Also available is an 1865 Half Dime, MS68. A single set of dies was employed to strike 13,000 half dimes in 1865. Silver coinage was virtually unseen in Eastern circulation during the Civil War, explaining the low mintage. This visually impressive Superb Gem is made all the more desirable by its status as the single-finest certified example.

A 1916-D Mercury Dime, MS64 Full Bands is also available. Adolph A. Weinman’s new Winged Liberty or Mercury design was introduced in 1916. The Denver Mint was only able to strike 264,000 examples late in the year, making the 1916-D the lowest-mintage issue in the series and one of the premier dates in 20th century American numismatics.
