NumisMedia Weekly Market Report
FUN Show Canceled; Brasher Doubloon & Heritage Sale Move to Dallas
January 11, 2021
A new year has arrived but with much less fanfare than usual. With the FUN Show canceled, a continuing theme in our industry, Heritage Auctions moved the FUN Sale to their Dallas headquarters, and changed the date to January 20-24. It is truly a shame that the FUN Show could not be held this year because the added interest and excitement created would have been tremendous. With the number of ultra-rarities in this sale, we are sure that the bidding will still be extremely active and very competitive. And what a sale this is certain to be with the 'world's most famous coin' headlining.
1787 Brasher Doubloon New York Style with EB on wing certified by NGC MS65* and CAC
This is the finest known coin of the seven known Brasher Doubloons. The Brasher Doubloon has been featured in many movies because of its great historic relevance. The coin was designed by Ephraim Brasher in 1787 with 90% gold, 6.4% silver, 3% copper and some trace elements making up the difference. The first traceable owner of this particular coin was Matthew Adams Stickney who began collecting around 1820, and acquired this coin in 1848. Since that time, the coin has been traced to some super star collectors such as Ellsworth, Garrett, and Partrick. Over the last ten years, Brasher Doubloons in various grades have sold ranging from $4 million to $7.5 million. This coin should command a historic price.

1804 $10 Gold Draped Bust Plain 4 certified by PCGS PR65+ Deep Cameo and CAC
An extreme rarity with just three coins known and this one is the finest recognized by either grading service. The original mintage of just four coins were presentation pieces. One coin was returned to the State Department around 1835, and today, its whereabouts are unknown. Another is on display at the ANA headquarters in Colorado Springs courtesy of the Harry W. Bass Core Collection. A third coin is currently housed in the Tyrant Collection certified as PCGS PR64. Thus, this coin is the only one available and likely to bring a record price.

1885 Trade Dollar certified by PCGS PR63+ Cameo and CAC
The 1885 Trade Dollar is a true rarity with just five coins originally minted. All are privately owned so this may be a one-time opportunity for dealers and collectors to view this date; and this one is a visually stunning specimen. The latest reported sale of this date was in a March 2020 Stack's Bowers auction when the PCGS PR64 sold for $1,320,000. Below are just a few of the many potential highlights from the Heritage FUN Sale.

Despite the metals falling dramatically this past week (after beginning the year hot), there remains a lot of confidence in the coin market. There seems to be an almost equal amount of buys and sells for bullion related U.S. Gold coins. There are still several programs for Silver Dollars with lots of buyers making consistent markets.
