Our upcoming November Baltimore auction will include a significant collection of coins formed through the last two decades by Charles W. Kennedy. His collection includes classic collector grade coins of each denomination, from half cents through double eagles. Virtually all of the coins in the collection were purchased at auction, with the focus on obtaining a high grade, yet affordable specimen to represent the date or type. Remarkable in scope and variation, the Kennedy Collection will certainly include something for everyone. The majority of the coins will grade from EF to MS-63, and are ideally suited to date or type collectors today. Many of the coins were certified long ago and are in older generation holders; others came to us raw and will be submitted for grading. Carson City coinage is well represented, along with 19th and 20th century type pieces. Purchases were made from dozens of auctions over the years, including significant big name auctions such as the Eliasberg, Bass, Stack and La Riviere Collections. As always it is a pleasure for us to see so many old friends come back through our doors again, to be offered to today’s collectors. There is still time to consign to the Official Auction of the Whitman Coin and Collectibles Expo, call you favorite consignment director today for details.
