Coin Rarities & Related Topics: Rarities Night, Part 3, Dimes and Some Coppers
19.05.12
Last week, I wrote about the half dollars in the Stack’s-Bowers Rarities Night event that was conducted on Thurs., March 22, in Baltimore. The week before, my preview of this event was published. This week, I cover a few copper pieces and all the dimes.
It is never my intention to summarize the contents of a major auction. Readers can, and are encouraged to, browse the listings at the respective websites of auction firms. Moreover, it does not make sense to list the coins that realized the highest prices. If I did so, I would just be writing about extreme rarities, high quality-better date gold coins, and an occasional condition rarity. It is my aim to cover a variety of coins, particularly those that are of interest to many collectors and/or those that are especially distinctive. I also direct to attention to coins that serve some kind of educational purpose, either in terms of their respective characteristics and/or in terms of how they fared at auction.
