Gorny & Mosch
Auctions 249-250, E-Auction 251
Continental Dollar at Gorny & Mosch
October 11-13, 2017, Gorny & Mosch will conduct their Fall Auctions, offering ancient to
world coins and medals. The B-Auction featuring the less expensive material as well as the
multiple lots will take place as an e-auction on October 15, 2017.
October 11-13, 2017, Gorny & Mosch will conduct two sales. Auction 249 focuses on ancient
coins, auction 250 on world coins and medals from medieval and modern times. The three
days will witness a broad selection of offers, with many rarities and something in store for
every collector. The top item of the catalog of ancient coins is a Siculopunic tetradrachm
featuring the head of Tanit, which used to be misinterpreted as a portrait of Dido.
Among the
coins from modern times, an extremely rare “Continental Dollar” stands out, which was
produced in the United States of America in 1776 as the year they emerged.
For the first time, the less expensive material and the majority of multiple lots – dating from
antiquity, medieval and modern times – will be called out in an e-auction, to be conducted on
Sunday, October 15, 2017, starting at 10 a.m.
