After
making our delivery of United States and foreign gold coins to Mr. Josiah K. Lilly in the spring of 1956, I discussed ways of making his collection grow. He now had
an almost complete collection of United States federal gold coins, as it was
complete in the $1, $2.50, $3 (not
including the 1870-S), $4, and virtually complete in the $5, $10 and $20. We discussed if we could complete the United States gold
series, and the chances of doing
so.

With the recent moving of
gold and silver, our bullion business has definitely been busy. Recently we
have had several large purchases of gold along with some silver and platinum.
We have also had made some nice purchases of United State type coins along with
some interesting currency.

It’s that time of year again, and we are very
excited to present our official auction of the Whitman Coin & Collectibles
Winter Expo in Baltimore. It has been exciting for us preparing the sale for
you to view, and bid on.

We have a special
treat for this preview, and a chance to use a word we typically shy away from -
unique. The country of Panama is a link both between North and South America
and between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans thanks to the Panama Canal.

Long the most sought-after Standing Liberty quarter, the 1916 is scarce
in virtually all grades, due in part to its low original-mintage figure of just
52,000 examples. Of those, only 2,500 to 3,500 exist today in all grades.
