On April 15-19th ,
2005, a historic opportunity in the world of numismatics
took place at the Helmsley Park Lane Hotel in New
York City. It was here that the foreign coin section
of the worlds greatest collection was presented and
auctioned by American Numismatic Rarities. This collection,
formed over decades by the world’s greatest
coin collector, Louis Eliasberg Sr. was widely received
and the actual auction room, in the Park Lane Ballroom
a sort of Numismatic United Nations gathered for this
incredible offering.
Many of the coins
in this historic offering were one of kind rarities
which were off the market for decades. Many were sold
to overseas investors and collectors, some of whom
were on location in NYC to bid and bring back to their
homeland these fantastic rare coins.

Rare Coin Investments is pleased to present some of
these numismatic rarities that you can see here in
the body of this newsletter with more specimens presented
on our website. Please bear in mind that since the
sale in 2005, the strength of the dollar has deteriorated
against many of the worlds currencies and that this
may be one of the only times you will have the opportunity
to view these wonderful coins for sale in the USA.
Many overseas investors and coin collectors recognize
the changes in currency values as well as the value
these rarities represent on the world market. Also
know that this is a one of a kind offering that cannot
be repeated. Please act accordingly and secure yours
today!

Incredible
Japanese 1837-58 Gold Koban - $4,200.00
( Eliasberg ) Japan
1837-1858, Koban, Fr-15, Temp Period, Choice Very
Fine, perhaps better. Lovely medium yellow gold, slight
granularity and slight waviness which is usual for
these beautiful items of commerce from the Tempo period
of reforms in Japan. Quite beautiful and perhaps one
of the most interesting items of trade and numismatics
in the world. This specimen of course from the worlds
greatest collectors personal cabinet. $4200.00 Previously:
Louis Eliasberg Collection, ANR Auctions, April15-19,
2005 Lot 2207, Comes with NGC Photo-Certificate ONLY
(NGC was unable to create a holder for this coin/Koban.
As such it remains houses in the original flip from
the Eliasberg sale along with the photo cert.) Previously
from the John H. Clapp Collection, Clapp Estate to
Louis Eliasberg Sr, 1942
( Eliasberg ) Turkey,
1327 AH, ( 1909 ) 500 Piastres, Year 3, 1911, Fr-50,
KM-758, NGC MS-65, Superb Gem Turkish gold. Buyers
at the Eliasberg sale recognized that many of Mr.
Eliasberg’s coins were extremely conservatively
graded. When resubmitted for a new opinion, many of
these coins were returned in higher grades.
This magnificent and
large gold coin (34.60mm, 36.12 grams) is an absolute
gem that is worthy of a higher grade. Please click
the enlarge image option and take a close look at
this specimen. Extremely minute imperfections that
in our opinion do not render it as a mere gem. In
our opinion this coin is a superb gem and worthy of
at least a grade higher. Rare and beautiful, no matter
what the holder may say, this is a great rarity in
world gold coins and is destined for the highest quality
of gold coin collections and investment portfolios.
Superb type coin. When Mortimer Hammel sold Mr Eliasberg
this duplicate in 1945, he retained only one 500 Piastres,
a specimen in similar condition dated 16 of Abul Hmid
II which was included in his 1982 sale. This offer
may never be duplicated.

Eliasberg Collection, ANR Auctions, April15-19, 2005
