NGC DONALD G. PARTRICK COLLECTION IMAGE GALLERY

Numismatic Guaranty Corporation® (NGC®) has updated its image gallery of the Donald G. Partrick Collection with more than 1,000 additional coins, tokens and medals, giving numismatists the opportunity to explore this unparalleled collection of Colonial and early US coins. The Partrick Collection, entirely certified by NGC, includes some of the greatest rarities in all of numismatics, including two Brasher Doubloons, the first gold coins struck in the newly independent United States.

NGC’s Donald G. Partrick Collection image gallery is located at NGCcoin.com/Partrick.

NGC has also released a video showing the Brasher Doubloons and other highlights in a format that allows viewers to better appreciate the rarity and quality of these extraordinary coins. To view the video, go to YouTube.com/NGCcoinVideos.

"I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to examine these rare and historic coins up close," said Mark Salzberg, NGC Chairman and Grading Finalizer. "I hope that this image gallery and video give other coin collectors the same feeling of awe and excitement that I had when I graded these phenomenal rarities."

The first 350 coins from the Partrick Collection were sold in 2015, realizing nearly $26 million. The remainder of the collection will be offered over the next year by Heritage Auctions, starting with a sale of Connecticut Coppers in October, closing on November 1.

NGC's Partrick Collection image gallery now contains stunning, high-resolution images of more than 1,400 coins searchable by type and keyword. The Patterns category, for example, features 12 incredibly rare patterns (or proposed coins) with a date of 1792, the year that Congress authorized the US Mint and US coins. Viewing them together provides an incomparable view into the young nation’s earliest attempts at a national coinage and the ideals and themes that it represented.
