Near Extremely FineAn important development in Christian iconography, this coin marks the earliest numismatic depiction of Christ. During theearly Christian period, it was normal practice to represent Christ only through symbolism. The official view of this mattershifted in 692. In that year, the Quinisext Council (Council in Trullon) was called by the emperor Justinian II to reconcilethe differences between Eastern and Western church practices and to help repair the growing schism between Constantinopleand Rome. One of the issues debated by the Council was how should Christ be portrayed. The Council ruled that from thereon,He should be depicted in human form. It is not known whether the Council’s ruling directly influenced the striking of this coin,but certainly there is a strong connection. The court at Constantinople was more than likely already predisposed to the portrayalof Christ in human form, and the court’s desire was made manifest in ink and metal. Est. 4000-5000Page 3

Attractivemedium-gray, Extremely Fine.\nFirst discovered inNarhan in Uttar Pradesh, these Shakya issues constituteperhaps the earliest coinage of India. The Shakyajanapada was set on India’s border with Nepal, northof the modern town of Gorakhpur. Historically, theregion is most significant as the birthplace of SiddharthaGautama Buddha, who was born in Lumbiniand grew up, some 10 miles away, in the Shakya capitalof Kapilvastu. Buddha’s father, Suddhodana wasthe elected ruler of Shakya. “There lived once upon atime, a king of the Shakya, a scion of the solar race,whose name was Suddhodana. He was pure of conductand beloved of the Shakya like the autumnmoon. He had a wife, splendid, beautiful and steadfastwho was called the Great Maya, from her resemblanceto Maya the goddess” - Buddha-carnita-kavya I, 1-2of the second century Indian philosopher and poet,Asvaghosa.It is possible that these early silver coins circulated duringthe lifetime of Suddhodana and his son, GautamaBuddha. Shakya was later annexed by the Kingdom ofKosala. Est. 225-275223 India. Shakya janapada. Anonymous, 600-500 BC.AR 5 Shana. 6.53 gms.

Extremely Fine.While Assam’s coins are generally octagonal with Bengalior Devanagari legends, other shapes and otherscripts were also occasionally used. Following a failedattempt by the Mughal Empire to annex Assam,Ahom script denominated Assamese coinage from1663 to 1696 — motivated likely by a rise in Ahomnationalism. With the coronation of Rudra Simha, anardent Hindu, Sanskrit inscriptions again became therule on Assam’s coins, with Ahom used only on somerare ceremonial issues. Persian legends, meanwhile,first appear during Shiva Simha’s reign on silver rupeesof the Gargaon and Rangpur mints. Two typesare squarish, while the type above is the only roundissue, and the first coin to name the mint of Rangpur,the Assamese capital founded by Rudra Simha in1707. These rare Persian legend types emulateMughal coins and were likely conceived to greater facilitatetrade.

The May 2013 Collector’s Series Sale$2.5 GoldGem 1834 Classic $2.5430430 1834 $2.50 Classic. Breen 6140. Large Head. NGC MS65. Vibrant golden yellow with surfaces that are highly reflectivein the obverse fields, and frosty in the central design elements. This is a very attractive example of the first year ofissue for this distinctive “No Motto” type. By 1834 the price of gold had risen to a point where the bullion value containedin US gold coins was more than the face value. This motivated gold dealers to acquire vast quantities of US goldcoins and as a consequence, most of the early mintages disappeared from circulation. In order to provide gold coins thatwould actually circulate Congress passed the Act of June 28th, 1834 which contained provisions lowering the amount ofgold contained in the $2.50 pieces of that year. To clearly differentiate the new coins from the old ones a significant designchange was made - the Latin motto on the reverse was completely eliminated. Small Head and Large Head varietiesexist. The Large Head can easily be distinguished by the indentation in the two curls near the back of Liberty’s head. Themajor grading services report only two 1834 $2.50 gold pieces in higher grades, both just one point higher than the currentexample.

Sharply strucknear the outer portions, typically weak central devices. In the early days of the California gold rush, gold dust and goldnuggets were the only real medium of exchange available. This proved to be cumbersome way of doing business. In theeastern states gold dust and nuggets could be minted into much more convenient to use gold coins. For Californians, whohad no U.S. Mint, the process of shipping gold dust and nuggets east to be converted into coins could take up to threemonths. Private mints soon stepped in to fill this void, and the same thing happened in the Territory of Jefferson (renamedColorado after 1861). In 1860, Austin Clark, Milton Clark, and Emanuel Gruber obtained minting equipment in Philadelphiaand New York and had it shipped to Denver City where they set up an “Assay and Coinage Office.” The coins theyproduced were well received, as they contained 1% more gold than standard U.S. Mint products.

Printed by the “ADVERTISER JOB OFFICEBROWNSVILLE, N.T.” (Nebraska Territory). IU.EF.The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 left the decision ofwhether the then territories of Kansas and Nebraskawould become slave or free states based on how thecitizens there voted. Anti-slavery forces poured intoboth territories which led to the violence in “BleedingKansas” during the period from 1854 to1861. Thepurpose of this land company may have been to recruitanti-slavery settlers who would then vote forKansas to be a free state. It is also possible that thepromoters of this certificate were attempting to populatethis area in the hopes that the Pacific Railroadmight be built in or near the location of the town, significantlyincreasing land values.

Illustration of a 1778 British map ofManhattan Island. IU. VF+ details, four short edge splits backed with archival paper. There is a stain in the upper rightcorner. We know of only one other example. This certificate represents the claim of various heirs for over 1000 acres ofland and water in Manhattan from 74th to 128th streets. Based on a land grant given in 1666 (the year the <strong>Spink</strong> wasfounded), by English Governor Richard Nichols to five men. Potential heirs would sign over their shares in the propertyto the company, then pay a fee, with the fees being used to pay the expenses of pursuing the claim in the courts.This certificate would entitle the share holder to a portion of the proceeds. If the claim was successful the value of theland at the time could have been many millions of dollars. A certificate similar to this one was featured on an episode ofthe PBS television show, History Detectives, which aired on October 2011. Based on the research done by the HistoryDetectives, no court ruling in this particular case was found. However, decisions were found in similar cases brought byother groups of Harlem heirs in which the courts ruled that the heirs’ claims were indeed legitimate. The courts wouldnot enforce them due to the complexities of sorting out the titles and heirs over a period of several hundred years, anddue to the possible repercussions this could have had on the stock market during a period of recession.

The May 2013 Collector’s Series SaleThe Artesian Collection of National Bank NotesNo two collectors are exactly alike, and their reasons for creating a collection are just as varied. At first glancethe Artesian Collection appears to be a diverse grouping of unrelated Nationals with no central theme. Geographically,the notes ranged from Alabama to Wyoming. The types represented covered the full range fromOriginal Series to 1929 Type II Nationals. Upon further inspection several themes become apparent.Our consignor had a deep and abiding appreciation for long, complex and interesting bank titles, regardless oflocation. He liked Nationals from state capitals. Not everyone recognizes the artistic merits of National banknotes, but our consignor had a wonderful eye for beautiful title layouts. He also recognized rarity when he sawit, and he acquired scarcer Nationals when the opportunities arose.Another central theme was Grange banks.NATIONAL BANK NOTESIn the 1870s American farmer's wives and their husbands joined The Patrons of Husbandry, an organizationthat sponsored dances, fairs and lectures. It was a social organization for farmers. In the 1880s, the Grange becamea popular throughout agricultural areas of the United States. It was initially supposed to be non-politicaland dedicated to taking women from their "enslaved role" into full participation in the agrarian movement withmen. The Grange movement soon took on political overtones, attacking railroads for exploiting farmers. Ithelped elected politicians sympathetic to farmers who worked to regulate fares. Co-ops eventually began to takethe place of the Grange, and to operate on a nonprofit basis. This allowed farmers to pool their resources andpurchase items more cheaply, and to operate Credit Unions that acted like banks.The word “Grange” in a National Bank title clearly suggested that the bank officials might have a more sympatheticpoint of view regarding farmers. This would have been conducive to doing business in any agrarian community.Our consignor found this theme to be compelling and you will be hard-pressed to find a morecomprehensive collection of Nationals with the word “Grange” in the title.Collectors are almost always attracted to rare and desirable notes, and our consignor was no exception. Some ofthe highlights in this collection include the Yuma, Arizona $10 1902 Plain Back; the Greenville, Mississippi $5Brown Back with the “Circus Poster” layout, the Davenport, Iowa $100 Red Seal; the Annapolis, Maryland $101902 Plain Back; and a very impressive “discovery” note, the Ely, Nevada $5 1902 Date Back.Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to add a few great Nationals to your collection.www.<strong>Spink</strong>.com

The May 2013 Collector’s Series SaleA Final Offering of TreasureTrove Items Relating to GeneralGeorge Armstrong Custer(Note: portions of this introductory text are repeatedfrom our August 2012 Collector’s SeriesSale where we sold the first part of the Custertreasure trove.)A young lady walked into our offices on West57th Street in New York. She placed a shoe boxon the table and she said that the contents of thebox all related to George Armstrong Custer, theCivil War hero and legendary Indian fighter whodied in the Battle of the Little Big Horn.She opened the box and began showing me the contents. Two things becamecrystal clear - she understood the significance of each item, and she was knowledgeableand passionate about the life and times of General Custer and his wife,“Libbie.”The box contained checks, drafts, military orders, and the Custer’s personal accountbook. There were several stamped envelopes that had previously containedpersonal correspondence sent from the General to his wife and from her to him.She showed me a letter written entirely in the General’s hand.The last items to come out of the box were some medals and badges. She pickedup the final object, placed it in my hand, and said “This just may be Libbie Custer’sown Michigan 7th Cavalry Regimental badge, given to her by the General himself.Libbie Custer describes it in her book, Tenting on the Plains, and she is seenwearing it in several photographs.”My instincts told me that this could well be a very significant item, but was it reallywhat she thought it might be?I had to ask the question that was on mind from the moment the box was opened“How did you come into possession of these items?What follows is a condensed version of what she told me:“Elizabeth Bacon Custer long outlived her husband, General George ArmstrongCuster. She made her primary residence at 71 Park Avenue in New York City.Elizabeth and the General had no children, and the majority of her family residedin or around Monroe, Michigan, save for a niece in Brooklyn.AUTOGRAPHSsuch as his medal of honor, his sword, etc. She also donated other items, such asa desk, to the Custer Museum.Elizabeth published the many letters she received from General Custer duringwartime. The book, "The Custer Story: The Life and Intimate Letters of GeneralGeorge A. Custer and His Wife Elizabeth," was written by Margeurite Meringtonat Elizabeth's urging. It took many years and was finally completed in1950. The whereabouts of the original letters are unknown. However, the envelopes,along with notebooks, stamps, and photos, were stored in a large cardboardbox that ended up in the house in Brooklyn with Margaret and Patrick.Many of the envelopes have Margaret Flood's handwriting on them; I would assumeshe helped Merington over the years in sorting through the letters. Likewise,as Merington completed the book in 1950, many years after Elizabeth'spassing, it seems likely that she would have returned them to Margaret andPatrick. Elizabeth had no heirs, Margaret was still alive, and she was like family toElizabeth.Similar to the Custers, Margaret and Patrick Flood also had no children. However,Margaret did have a niece - her sister's daughter, Mary - who moved intothe Brooklyn house to care for them as they grew old. When the Floods died, theyleft their house and its contents to Mary, who lived there for the rest of her life.She also had no children.My family came to know Mary many years ago when I was a young child. Shewas the aunt by marriage of a family friend. I came to know her as "Aunt Mary"while I was growing up, though she was of no blood relation to me. My parentsremained close to Aunt Mary and saw her as regularly as if she were related to us.As Aunt Mary advanced in age, my mother visited her more frequently. On oneof many visits in the mid 2000s, Aunt Mary gave my mother the box containingthe envelopes and a box of Elizabeth Custer's personal effects. (She thought Iwould be interested in the envelopes and stamps because I liked "old things".)In a smaller box were some old war medals. Nothing terribly exciting, at least toany of us. These boxes had sat in her hall closet for many years and I guess AuntMary no longer wanted them. In fact, the box containing the envelopes had longago suffered water damage; I still have it in all its glory, as I stored its contents init for the many years since.Mary gave us the boxes before she passed away in 2007. My mother was appointedby Aunt Mary's will as her executor, and she settled Mary's affairs asAunt Mary had directed her to, including the sale of the house. I was given a boxof "old things" and my mother was given a box of personal effects by my "Aunt"who was of no relation to me by blood but was as close as family. My parents caredfor her in her elder years, just as she had cared for her elderly aunt and uncle- who just happened to be the caretakers of Elizabeth Custer in her elder years.In a way, the envelopes are of most interest to me, as the letters they once containedshowed the devotion of a man to his wife, and they were passed along ina chain of caring over the years. ”As was customary back in that time, Ms. Custer had a personal assistant (referredto frequently in news articles and other writings as a "companion" or a maid)named Margaret Flood. Margaret lived with Elizabeth until Elizabeth’s death atage 91 in 1933. When she originally began working for Elizabeth, Margaret wassingle and I'm sure her maiden name is somewhere in all of the notes and lettersI have. However, she later married and her husband, Patrick Flood, moved in withthem. I have a letter from Mrs. Custer to Patrick, asking what his intentions arefor Margaret.Margaret and Elizabeth were extremely close, as evidenced by the many piecesof personal correspondence I have. Most helpful are the letters Elizabeth wroteto Margaret while she was down in Daytona, Florida for a short period, recuperatingfrom an illness.Margaret was left a number of things upon Elizabeth's death, though I would assumethey were nothing thought to be of particular value, at least at the time. Ihave a letter from an attorney to Margaret does identify that this occurred. I doknow Elizabeth donated General Custer's items of significance to West Point,Before our August 2012 auction our consignor was undecided about selling theentire contents of the box. She chose to give us all of the medals and badges, anda representative sampling of the documents and photographs. As she previouslystated, her personal interest was in the envelopes, and she indicated that she wouldperhaps keep all of the remaining items.The results of our August 2012 sale showed her that there was a great deal of interestin Custer material. This convinced her that the rest of the items would findwilling buyers who were as caring and passionate about Libbie and General Custeras our consignor was.Don’t miss this unique opportunity to obtain these important Custer items.Again, we wish to thank John Beckendorf for his invaluable help, and for thewonderful article her wrote about the Custer badges in the Spring 2013 editionof the SPINK INSIDER.www.<strong>Spink</strong>.com

The record established by your indomitable courage is unparalleled in the annalsof war...During the past six months...you have captured from the enemy, in open battle, one hundred and elevenpieces of field artillery, sixty-five battle-flags, and upwards of ten thousand prisoners...You have never lost a gun,never lost a color, and have never been defeated...When the war is ended and the task of the historian begins...Ionly ask that my name may be written as that of the Commander of the Third Cavalry Division.” This documentwas quoted entirely by Whittaker in his 1876 biography of Custer.

Laffitte, which I accept with great pleasure, more especially as I am suffering under considerabletemporary embarrassment, caused by the failure of Sir Walter Stirling’s bank…” O’Meara adds in a postscript: “Youare mistaken about the appointment of the ex-Governor [of St. Helena, Sir Hudson Lowe, who had dismissed him] he isnot governor of Ceylon, he is merely employed as a major general and second in command there…It is said that the assassinwho attempted your life has been arrested. Is that so?...” Age-toned, with seal hole and some fold wear, otherwiseVery Good. French atlas-maker and chamberlain to Napoleon, Las Cases had been on St. Helena with O’Meara and the exiledemperor, and had published what was the canonical account of the exile. Dr. William Lawrence, a friend of Percy ByssheShelley and Mary Shelley, whose views on Vitalism or “animal electricity” influenced the writing of “Frankenstein”, rose to becomeEngland’s top surgeon. O’Meara’s comments on the paucity of anatomical subjects in no exaggeration; three years earlier,the infamous William Burke was hung from the gibbet for murdering vagrants so he could sell their corpses to medical schools.Est. 500-1000www.<strong>Spink</strong>.com
