Stack’s Bowers Excellent Results of 2015 Official Baltimore Whitman Expo Auction

Stack’s Bowers Galleries’ official auction of the Whitman Baltimore Summer Expo, anchored by the Twin Leaf Collection of middle and late-date large cents and the Douglas C. Kaselitz Collection of U.S. type coins, brought spectacular results for all involved.

More than half a dozen lots realized hammer prices in the six-figure range, and numerous other lots pushed that level in a frenzy of bidding activity in the auction gallery, on the telephone, and worldwide on the Internet. The Twin Leaf Collection of large cents was masterfully assembled over the course of several years and included numerous gem coppers of the 1816-1857 decades with amazing pedigrees in many instances that dated back to the 19th century. Among highlights of the Twin Leaf Collection was Lot 2540, a Proof 1850 Newcomb-11 cent in a PCGS Proof-66 RB holder that brought a resounding $82,250 against a pre-sale estimate of $25,000.
