Coin Collecting NewsThe Silbermünzen Collection
Among the collections anchoring the upcoming Heritage Long Beach Signature Auction, one simply stands out. The Silbermünzen Collection (the word Silbermünzen is German for “silver coins”) lives up to its name quite nicely, offering a particularly high quality selection of rare quarters and half dollars, with many series represented, including some spectacular early proofs.
Many of the coins in the Silbermünzen Collection are the finest known or close to it, often with superb pedigrees. The 1891-O Specimen Strike quarter we profiled two weeks ago in CoinLink’s Coin Guide, is from this collection, as are early proofs such as the 1820, 1828, 1833, and 1841. Half dollars include proof 1825, 1841, 1845 and 1846 coins, as well as circulation strikes such as an amazing Gem 1892-O Micro O half and a 1915-S half grading MS67. The collector did not limit himself to quarters and half dollars; another standout piece is a magnificent gem Proof 1846 Seated Dollar.
