One of the great U.S. coin rarities, the 1894-S dime, will be offered in Stack’s 72nd anniversary auction Oct. 16-17 in New York City.

It is joined by several other rarities  such as the documented fourth double eagle struck at the Denver Mint, certified by Professional Coin Grading Service as SP-66, an 1876-CC 20-cent piece and an 1855 Kellogg and Co. $50 proof.

Stack’s 72nd anniversary sale is preceded on Oct. 16 by two offerings of material from the John J. Ford collection, Parts 20 and 21. The first, nearly 400 lots, holds paper money, including obsolete notes, greatest representation of these being from western states though notes from several other locations are offered. It also features patterns and medals from western assayers, as well as several assayer receipts.
