At the recent Whitman
Coin & Collectibles Expo in Baltimore I spent the best part of two days
visiting with collectors, dealers, and others. It was a super dynamic show—what
with multiple sessions of the Stack’s Bowers Galleries auction, the annual
meeting of the Colonial Coin Collectors Club (C4), and endless activity on the
bourse floor. Everyone with whom I visited said he or she had a great time!

Today’s preview of
the Stack’s Bowers Galleries January NYINC auction continues the story started
last week with the Rare One Year Type Ruble
of Elizabeth. Born in August 1740 to Duchess Anna Leopoldovna
(niece of Empress Anna of Russia), the arrival of Ivan VI seemed a stroke of
luck to then Empress Anna. In 1740 she was 47 years old, in failing health and
without a clear successor to the throne.

Galleries is pleased to offer the collection of popular tradesmen tokens of New
Zealand as assembled by Mr. James Heegeman. Mr. Heegeman had spent nearly 40
years collecting, and acquired the nicest examples he could find. His collection includes many rare to

Did you know Stack’s Bowers Galleries is featuring
the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection at our official auction of the Whitman Coin and
Collectibles Spring Expo? The A.J. Vanderbilt Collection had its beginning
in 1936 when its collector started buying coins from Stack’s at the age of 15.
He continued filling holes in the collection until his recent passing at the
age of 96. He built marvelous sets focused on 25 specific years in U.S.
numismatics, with the goal of acquiring high quality circulation strike
examples of every date and mintmark combination and major type of every
denomination struck in those years.
