A “hat piece” from James VI
Dealers, collectors and auction houses are preparing for the ANA World’s Fair of Money in August. We have seen a lot of releases on what visitors can expect next month which is adding to the excitement. Stack’s Bowers Galleries recently announced that they will be showcasing the Loch Ness Collection of Scottish Coins as part of their world coin auction.
In the June issue, we saw some of their expected highlights, including a rare Nicholas I Proof 100 Perpera from 1910 and an 1878 Umberto I Silver 5 Lire. As the auction date approaches, more information will become available.
20 pound piece of James VI.
The full range will include different styles and denominations of over 100 coins and medals, from a John Baliol Halfpenny to the impressive £ 20 piece of James VI, the largest gold issue in the British Isles. Other notable pieces on offer include a portrait of Maria from 1555, a “hat piece” from James VI from 1592, a gold pistol from 1701 from Wilhelm II and a gold double crown from Charles I.
Stack’s Bowers Galleries will showcase the Loch Ness Collection of Scottish Coins in their recently completed, state-of-the-art Griffin Studios at the company’s headquarters in Costa Mesa, California on August 20, 2021. The Loch Ness Collection, along with its entire official ANA auction, will be available for viewing and bidding on StacksBowers.com.
