Just a quick note to remind everyone of our upcoming shows. Dan is heading to Vero Beach today for the annual Treasure Coast Coin Club show. He’s loaded with new purchases from the FUN and NYINC shows, so please go by and see him! He’s also taking consignments for our upcoming Sedwick Treasure, World and US Coin Auction #19. We’re always pleased to receive consignments of significant collections of cobs and choice Latin American coins. High-quality artifacts are always welcome as well.
At the end of the month, Dan and Augi will be traveling to Long Beach, CA, for the Long Beach Expo from February 4-6. They will again be happy to take consignments AND buy or sell you something. It’s a busy time of year for us, but we’re getting excited about our next auction and hope you will join the fun. Auction dates are May 18 and 19, so mark your calendar now.
OK, now for a cool hat trick.
Goal #1: Purchase a 1704 8 reales Potosi cob (not hard to do).
Lot 1431, Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC – Treasure Auction #14
Goal #2: Purchase a 1704 8 reales Potosi royal (a little harder to do but not out of the question).
Lot 707, Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC – Treasure Auction #14
And Goal #3: Purchase a 1704 8 reales Potosi heart (you have a better chance with the lottery than getting this!).
Lot 720, Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC- Treasure Auction #18
Pretty nifty hat trick, no? What I like about looking at all three of these coins is that we can study the details that are missing on our cob. This can go a long way in identifying coins.
One last note: the ANA (for American Numismatic Association) has just launched a digital archive of 127 years’ worth of The Numismatist magazine. Both Dan and my father, Frank Sedwick, have written articles for the magazine!
