RICHARD MARGOLIS COLLECTION, PART II

Stack's Bowers is excited and extremely pleased to offer part II of the Richard Margolis Collection in next month's August Global Showcase Auction. This unparalleled array of nearly 350 French lots focuses entirely upon the period beginning with the crowning of Louis XVI and ending with the rise of Napoleon as emperor. Though spanning a mere three decades, this portion of the Margolis collection—a true life's work—touches upon countless numismatic aspects, as it features some of the rarest and unusual patterns, trials, and numismatic curiosities. The vast majority of these treasures emanate from prestigious prior collections and have been off the market for many decades (and, in some instances, over half a century). Embark upon an unrivaled trip through this intriguing period of French numismatic history.
