Lincoln cents, gold, classic type coins and paper money from the Peter Huntoon collection highlight Bowers and Merena Auctions’ 1,800-lot Milwaukee Rarities sale set for Aug. 4. “I think we have really outdone ourselves for this auction,” said Steve Deeds, B&M president. “We have an impressive list of collections that includes Dan Close’s Lincoln cents, some fresh Peter Huntoon notes, Drinen’s Buffalo nickels and the Green River Collection of Morgan dollars.” Centerpiece of the sale is the Dan Close “Close to Perfect” Collection as B&M is calling it, citing that it is the No. 1 All-Time Finest PCGS Registry Set of Lincoln cents with varieties, circulation strikes (1909-present). The entire collection, 242 lots, boasts a PCGS Set Rating of 68.21, the highest rating ever for its category, catalogers said.
