      1664CA Austria, Vienna. 3 Kreuzer NGC Mint State 63

      Leopold I “The Hogmouth” One of my favorite historical characters, and I’m not even sure why. Perhaps it’s because we have such an easy time calling the man Leopold the Hogmouth today. I’m fairly sure that in 1664 not too many people said that publicly. This piece has great luster and lots of history!

      1948 Silver Dollar NGC Mint State 63

      A bright, beautiful, fully prooflike coin. Solid for the grade, this piece has an exceptional look. 1947 (maple leaf) dollars were minted well into 1948 leaving the latter with the tiny mintage of 18,780 making this date perhaps the most desireable of the series. Always in demand. This coin resides in an old NGC holder that is also nicely preserved.

      Czechoslovakia, Theresienstadt Concentration Camp Notes (Complete Set)

      Denominations of 1-2-5-10-20-50 & 100 Kronen. Printed for the “model ghetto” of Theresienstadt to impress any visitors and the Red Cross. Conditions here were better than other camps, however, this was simply a transit stop for these unfortunate people before being sent to the death camps in Poland. The obverse of all notes feature a vignette of Moses holding the Ten Commandments. The reverse features the denomination as the central motif and the printed signature of Jacob Edelstein as “Der Alteste der Juden” (The Elder of the Jews). The 2 & 100 Kronen notes are AU, all other examples are uncirculated.
