Notable Coin Auction Price Realizations at GreatCollections in June 2021

GreatCollections

Proof Civil War Date Gold, 1946 Walker Set All-Time Auction Records

 

By Ian RussellPresident, GreatCollections.com ……
June was another very strong month at GreatCollections, with spirited bidding across all coin series and categories. The coin market has enjoyed a significant lift over the past few months, with new serious collectors entering the market. Incidentally, it’s not just the high-end coin market increasing, even common date Morgan dollars and sub-$500 coins have seen solid increases as well.

GreatCollections sold an impressive number of important collections and single coins during June, and this list counts down what I consider the top 10. Of course, there were many more than just 10 top coins, so my apologies to the coins that missed the cut. All of the coins we auctioned are included in our extensive Coin Auction Archive, which now contains over 900,000 certified coin prices, easily searchable by coin series, date, and grade.

Take a look at the top 10 below, starting with the unique pattern from King Farouk’s Collection. This pattern had been thought lost over the past 40 years but was rediscovered sitting in an old-time West Coast collection of patterns.

I hope you find this list of coins interesting and useful. We plan on publishing this out each month highlighting the special coins we had the privilege to auction.

Pattern 1871 H10c J-1067a NGC Proof-60 CAC (Ex: Farouk Collection)

Recently re-discovered, this unique pattern in nickel was once part of the famed Farouk Collection.
