Lot 11.[Benefit Lot] USA 1925 MS63 Silver Peace Dollar. [Slabbing Service Mismatched Labeling]  NGC has labled it as a 1923.  Some folks actually collect these mismatches.  This piece was one of the lots won on WINS Auction 3, purchased with the intent of making it a contribution auction for the benefit of WINS in Auction 4 & I only noticed the mismatch when the coin arrived.  Well, I guess that's why pencils have erasers on them :)  Anyway, 100% of the entire winning bid amount will be submitted to the WINS Treasury upon payment from the Winning Bidder.  Postage at cost.  Reserve $1.00

Lot 12.USA Bagful of 150 count Philadelphia Mint Jefferson Nickels, minted between 1938 thru 1955.  Average Circulated, grades generally falling between F to VF or better, no junk.  All minted at the Philadelphia Mint.  Nothing pulled except Silver War Nickels.  These were pulled from many hundreds of dollars worth of bank rolls & bags in the late 1970's.  Getting very difficult to obtain any kind of quantity of these by looking thru change these days.  Starting at face value.  But, to be sure that this bag of joy is more fun than a barrel full of monkeys, I have included 5 additional randomly selected coins as follows: 1) a Liberty Head "V" Nickel in good condition; 2) a Silver War Nickel in circulated condition; 3) an "S" Mint Nickel from the same date & grade range; 4) a "D" Mint Nickel, same date/grade range; & 5) a dateless Buffalo goes along for the ride.  That makes the total piece count for this lot 155 coins & thus starting under face value at Reserve: $7.50.

Lot 14.  Set of Lincoln Head Cents Starting 1941 in Whitman Folder No. 9030 bearing Copyright date of 1949.  82 coins in all, grading, generally, F-VF to BU.  The Set is complete with all regular business strikes of 1941 thru 1970-S, then has the following coins: 1971, 71-D, 72, 72-D, 73 & 74.  Therefore, missing are the 1971-S, 1972-S, and the 1973 & 1974 D & S.  To help make up for some of the missing items, a randomly selected Indian Head Cent in full good or better condition has just been added to the folder in the last, previously empty, hole in the folder.  That leaves 6 empty holes capable of housing all 6 of the missing coins in order to complete the set thru 1974-S.  While the folder itself is in good used condition, the front page has started tearing away from the remainder of the album & has been neatly taped to prevent further tearing.  Great startup set for the young or new collector or as a gift suggestion.  This set will start at it's face value of 82 cents plus the free Indian Cent makes this set starting at a Penny under face.  Why the three Wartime Steel Cents alone could be worth that much.  For those not familiar with the USA Lincoln Head Cent Series, after the USA's entrance into World War II, copper, for among other things, became needed for the War effort for use as ammunition shell casings and in 1943 Cents, minted at all 3 of America's minting facilities at Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco, were coined from Zinc coated Steel.  Whereafter, the War having produced an abundance of spent ammunition shells, shell casings & cartridges were melted down for use in minting USA cents during the years of 1944 thru 1946 inclusive.  Shell case cents (0.950 copper & 0.050 tin) and regular, pre-1982, alloy cents (0.950 copper & 0.050 tin & zinc) are virtually identical in composition, save for a trace amount of tin which is absent from the shell case coppers.  This short set of Lincolns is jam packed rich with American history.  Starting at a Penny under face value.  Larger scan files available by email upon request.  Reserve: $0.82.

Lot 17. 1721 British Farthing minted in copper & issued during the rein of King George I.  A handsome piece in Fine + overall.  Many very old copper coins have various degrees of pitting, porosity, verdigris, and so forth -- this piece exhibits a minimum of such & hence a premium coin for grade.  The coin's size is a hair larger than a USA 5 Cent nickel coin.  Oldest coin on the auction block so far.  I have a certain fondness for these old coppers -- a 1720 Farthing in about the same grade was my first British coin purchase at a local show as an early teen.  This coin, in person, with loupe in hand, does not exhibit the color variations to the extent that the scanner chose to accentuate.  My scanner is 'brutal' on even the slightest imperfections & variations in colour.  This piece is a deep dark rich chocolate brown and may have been lightened slightly in photofinishing so as not to display a black disc to auction viewers.  Considering what old USA coppers go for, this piece is very modestly priced with a Reserve of just $29.95.
