New Selections from the D.L. Hansen Collection Offered in Auction #1043
We are excited to offer the next installation of our Numismatic Masters Series Auctions featuring Part II from the D.L. Hansen Collection. Dell Loy Hansen, the premier collector of our time, has set lofty goals in his quest of acquiring one of the most important and complete U.S. coin collections in private hands, rivaling Louis Eliasberg. Along the way, he has upgraded many incredible coins, as well as acquired coins that did not fit into his overall collecting goals. As a result, we are offering over 330 of those pieces in our Sunday Internet Auction #1043. There are numerous highlights, many of which are listed below. Even if some of the highlights are not within your budget, there are a number of affordable pieces so that you too can participate in this sale and own a part of this soon to be legendary collection!
Note: These online events will have extended browsing & bidding time and we will continue to offer an extended 90-day layaway option. Sunday Internet Auction #1043 will begin closing at 8pm EST on Sunday, December 16th with the DLRC exclusive extending bidding option if a bid is placed in the last three minutes.

Our first highlight is an 1809/8 $5 PCGS/CAC MS64+. The 1809/8 is the only major issue of this year as all 1809's are overdates. There are only 33,875 coins struck of its issue.
This week's second highlight is an 1875 $3 PCGS Proof 64 CAM. Only 20 pieces Struck! This coin is a true rarity in a series that is nearly impossible to collect. No circulation strikes of this date were produced, making it a proof only issue. Smooth orange-gold surfaces with a hint of rose, this piece is truly an underrated numismatic rarity for the advanced collector.
Our third highlight is a 1929 $20 PCGS/CAC MS63. The majority of the 1929 issues were melted in the 1930s with the rest of the later date Saints. An exceedingly difficult year to locate, this piece exhibits impeccable luster and nice eye appeal, and is CAC approved for quality.
This final auction highlight is an 1861 $5 NGC Proof 64 CAM. An incredibly rare Civil War Proof of which only three or four pieces are known to be in public or private hands. The fields are lightly hairlined, but deeply contrasting to the devices for the true cameo effect. An exceedingly rare offering with amazing eye appeal.
Of course there are many other highlights, so be sure to browse all lots in this exciting new sale before it closes on Sunday, December 16th.
