Auction Details

We are offering over 1400 lots of U.S. and Worldwide Scripophily, Banknotes, Autographs, Security Printing Ephemera and Historic artifacts and Documents over a two day period. We are privileged to be the auctioneer for the Third Annual Wall Street Coin, Currency and Collectibles Show being held at the Museum of American Finance located at 48 Wall Street in New York City.
The sale begins with The First Hour which includes historic documents & objects including an Edison Stock Ticker; a piece of the original cable from the Brooklyn Bridge as well as artwork and interesting objects including generous donations from Tiffany, Baccarat and Pelikan.
We are featuring The Copps Collection of historic Colonial Fiscal Paper, Documents and Stock & Bond Certificates put together over 30 years ago and highlighted by a spectacular 1792 dated U.S. Federal Bond issued to and signed by George Washington while President of the United States. This is the first time an instrument of this sort has been offered publically at auction. We think there will be serious interest in this amazing piece of U.S. Financial and Presidential history.
