Two different items each sold for $1,410,000 and I repeat that the total was more than $11 million. The meaning of this consignment, however, reaches way beyond the total prices realized.

The 1787 Clinton Copper Pattern is certainly a prime example of a Newman Collection item that is extremely unusual and very distinctive. There is nothing else like it in the realm of American coins, patterns and tokens. Captain Thomas Machin petitioned the New York State Assembly in 1787 for a contract to mint copper coins. George Clinton was then ...
Continental Currency Patterns are dated “1776” and were struck in pewter, brass, copper and silver. Reportedly, this Newman piece is, by far, the finest of just four that were struck in silver. There survive hundreds in pewter, including quite a few that grade MS-64 or higher. Although several experts do not seem comfortable with the 63 grade assig...

In 1875, Sylvester Crosby, a recognized collector and researcher, wrote that “little is known” about Bar Coppers and then Crosby quotes Charles Bushnell, a famous and knowledgeable collector in the mid 19th century.

The surface quality of the Morris piece, in...
Virginia Patterns in silver are mysterious. Virginia Halfpennies of 1773 are not mysterious and are not rare. Some die varieties are extremely rare. As type coins, however, these are easy to find, even in high grades. These halfpennies, though, were stuck in copper. There are 1774/3 overdate silver pieces with a design that is similar to that of th...
Before the U.S. Constitution was adopted, several States, including Vermont, authorized the production of copper coins for wide circulation as official money.

In 1786, the New Jersey legislature authorized three citizens to mint three million copper coins, under certain conditions. Thousands survive and there are a vast number of varieties. In the live auction sessions, the lowest price for a New Jersey Copper was $411.25 for a 1787 piece that is NGC graded “VF-30,” though many experts would conclude tha...
More than 120 Connecticut Coppers were auctioned on Friday. Additional Connecticut Coppers sold on Saturday. On Friday, an NGC graded Fine-12, 1787 Bust Left copper brought $211.50. Several rare varieties, even a couple with much corrosion, sold for prices between $50,000 and $100,000 each! Only two 1787 Connecticut Coppers are known of the variety...
For his own collection, Jason Carter also bought a wonderful 1787 New York Copper, which I did see. It was one of my favorite coins in the sale. He and I are certainly on the same wavelength in regards to interpreting this coin. This New York State Copper is a Nova Eborac, ‘Normal Head’ obverse, Liberty Seated to left reverse. The NGC certification...
