Dear Bidder,
Welcome to 2022 FUN! An impressive lineup of outstanding rare coins and Featured Collections bode well for
Heritage’s multi-day FUN Signature® auction. Large cent collectors and EAC copper specialists get things started
with Wednesday evening’s presentation of The Arizona Collection, while Important Selections from The Bob R.
Simpson Collection, Part VII will wow bidders on Thursday night. On Friday evening, our traditional PLATINUM
NIGHT® crowd arrives in force, ready to test new waters and dive deep into remarkable rarities that emerge from a
diverse lineup of high-value coins.

Many Featured Collections make Heritage’s 2022 FUN Signature® auction one for the record books. These pedigreed
collections offer memorable lots throughout all auction sessions, and add greatly to the event’s success. Take a
moment to read about these
The John W. McCloskey Collection
Dr. John W. McCloskey was a prolific researcher
and pathfinder in multiple areas of American
numismatics. He was a founding member of his
beloved Liberty Seated Collectors Club and The
John Reich Collectors Society, both of which
enshrined him in their respective Halls of Fame.
John co-authored die marriage manuals for the
Bust dime and Bust half dime series, as well as
Classic Head quarter eagles and half eagles. A
noted expert on the Seated Liberty series, he
served as editor of the Gobrecht Journal for
almost four decades. Heritage is proud to offer
John’s entire collection in two auctions. The first
portion is included in a special section within
this catalog and will be presented in a dedicated
floor session on Friday afternoon, January 7. The
balance of John’s extensive collection will appear in the month-long John McCloskey Heritage Showcase
Auction, open for bidding on or about January 9, 2022, with an auction date of February 6, 2022, at 4:00 p.m.
CT.
Included in the McCloskey FUN session is John’s nearly complete set of Classic Head quarter eagles and
half eagles in die marriage order – a significant achievement chronicled in this catalog. In concert with John
McCloskey and Darryl Haynor’s book, United States Classic Gold Coins of 1834-1839, we believe this catalog
will serve as a valuable guide to future collectors of these fascinating gold coins. Our thanks go out to Stu and
Maureen Levine and Brad Karoleff for their input and direction in cataloging the McCloskey coins, and to Len
Augsburger, who cataloged the lion’s share of the Seated Liberty coins.
The Phyllis Norman Collection
Dozens of selections from The Phyllis Norman Collection are interspersed throughout
Floor Sessions 2, 5, and PLATINUM NIGHT. This fine type collection features rarities
in copper, silver, and gold. Early type is prominent, although we see a sharp 1911-
D quarter eagle certified MS64 PCGS with radiant mint luster. No less than 17
PLATINUM NIGHT lots confirm the high quality seen throughout the collection, highlighted
by a splendid 1841 Transitional No Drapery dime certified PR67+ NGC with CAC, the Ex:
Green-Newman-Gardner coin – by far the finest of only two known proofs.
Selections From The Pelican Collection
A sizeable consignment formed in the deep South is strictly mid-to-high grade gold, with a
preference for proof gold issues and a large contingent of New Orleans gold among
the circulation strikes. Ten dollar gold pieces are seen in abundance, plus many
fine examples from other gold denominations. Dozens of highlights exist
throughout Selections from The Pelican Collection, which appear throughout
Floor Session 5 and PLATINUM NIGHT. Our favorites include a long run of New
Orleans eagles, including the 1841-O, 1845-O, and an 1859-O – all in Choice
About Uncirculated or finer grades.
The Alan V. Weinberg Collection, Part V
The Alan V. Weinberg Collection was formed over a period of 60
years, with all of Alan’s coins and medals certified for the first
time prior to their Heritage Auction appearances. The 2022
FUN consignment is our fifth installment from this exceptional,
long-held collection, with all lots presented during
PLATINUM NIGHT. Colonial collectors will vie for beautiful,
well-pedigreed group of Oak Tree and Pine Tree shillings
is joined by a pair of Oak Tree twopence and an Oak Tree
threepence, as well as a scarce Select Uncirculated 1652
Pine Tree threepence. Later on in PLATINUM NIGHT, three
extraordinary medals from Alan’s extensive medal collection
are presented. These one-of-a-kind medals were presented
to Dr. Frederick H. Rose, whose story is related in detail within
the lot descriptions. The lots include two Congressional gold
medals (one of which is uniquely struck in silver) and a stunning
gold Lifesaving medal presented to Dr. Rose by the crew of the United
States Steam Frigate Susquehanna, hand engraved by Tiffany & Co. These
medals are sure to attract and amaze the most advanced medal collectors.
The Buffalo Bayou Collection, Part 2
While the Buffalo Bayou Collection has a separate catalog for its
outstanding Territorial gold issues, regular U.S. gold coins form Part
2 of a separate collection that is impressive in its own right. Floor
Session 5 and Friday’s PLATINUM NIGHT session glitter with scarce-
to-rare gold issues. An 1861-S Paquet double eagle (unknown in Mint
State) grades AU53 NGC, with attractive orange-gold surfaces that are
far less abraded than normally seen. An equally attractive 1848 CAL.
quarter eagle is certified AU50 PCGS, an always popular Gold Rush-
related “commemorative” struck in California gold. A 1795 BD-4 Small Eagle five dollar
gold piece is CAC approved, grades AU58 NGC.
The Buxton Collection
Although The Buxton Collection is primarily U.S. gold, enough silver
and copper coins are included to interest a wide variety of collectors.
This Featured Collection is well represented in Sessions 2, 5, and
PLATINUM NIGHT. The coins are often conditionally scarce or rare in
an absolute sense, with many choice examples that display important
pedigrees and low survival rates. An 1870-CC Seated dollar is the OC-8
variety, certified MS63 PCGS, with only one finer at that service. An 1843-O
Large Date, Plain 4 quarter eagle is tied for second-finest graded MS63 NGC.
The Thomas F. Peterson, Jr. Collection
Thomas F. Peterson, Jr. was a prominent Ohio scientist and
inventor who dedicated his life to studying the universe and
improving the human condition. A lifelong scholar and advisor to
several universities, Mr. Peterson worked tirelessly to promote
advances in science and medicine. In addition to his notable
academic achievements, he built impressive collections that
included U.S. coins, antique equipment, and rare books.  Mr.
Peterson’s focus on classic numismatic rarities will be on full display
during PLATINUM NIGHT.  In that session, Heritage is pleased to offer
several coins from the collection, including these excellent examples:
• A beautiful Gem proof 1879 Flowing Hair stella certified PR65 PCGS.
• An attractive 1794 Flowing Hair dollar, B-1, BB-1, PCGS VF30 with smooth and
well-struck surfaces for the grade
• A Choice 1794 Flowing Hair half dollar, O-101a, T-7, certified AU55 NGC, a late die state coin.
The Westwood Collection
The Westwood Collection consignor sought out high-end copper coins. American history
fascinates him, and he appreciates the artistry of certain coin designs, especially 1793 and
1794 large cents and the Flying Eagle design. Our consignor believes acquiring top-
quality coins allows collectors to appreciate design aesthetics, while encouraging
people to literally hold history in their hands. A superlative Sheldon-31 1794
large cent is included in this consignment, certified MS67 Brown PCGS with
CAC, making it a top Condition Census coin. Several high-end small cents
are part of the collection, with a Choice 1858/7 Flying Eagle cent, Snow-1,
FS-1901, certified MS64 PCGS. CAC.
The Paul Gerrie Colonial Collection
The Gerrie name appears on other fine collections formed in the past, including
a notable collection of ancients and a more recent consignment of circulation
strike Morgan dollars and Peace dollars. For 2022 FUN, The Paul H. Gerrie
Colonial Collection is represented by a PLATINUM NIGHT 1653 Pine Tree
Shilling, Large Planchet, No Pellets at Trunk – the Noe-2, W-700, Salmon 2-C
variety certified MS62 NGC. It is just one of many great Colonial coins in the
collection. The Gerri pedigree dominates Floor Session 2 Colonials, while still
others provide ample bidding opportunities in the Sunday online Internet session.
The Pacific Rim Collection
Once again, an impressive subset of U.S. patterns makes up
the entirety of The Pacific Rim Collection. Pattern Trade dollars
struck in silver or goloid make up most of the lots. An 1878
Morgan dollar in copper – the “Drooped Wing” eagle, Judd-1565,
is certified PR67 Brown Cameo NGC. This is an “all PLATINUM
NIGHT” consignment.
The 4L Collection
Branch mint Type Two Liberty double eagles from the 1860s and 1870s form
this carefully crafted consignment. San Francisco issues outnumber the
Carson City coins 10 to seven, although the CC dates easily sneak
ahead in value. PLATINUM NIGHT features an 1870-CC double eagle
from this collection, as well as its 1871-CC counterpart. The ’70-CC
grades VF25 PCGS, while the ’71-CC is an AU50 NGC specimen. The
coins were carefully assembled and the S-mint twenties are seemingly
undervalued in today’s market. As always, the Carson City issues are
red hot by all measures.
The Mahal Collection, Part VI
Advanced collectors of Philippine coins automatically seek out
The Mahal Collection pedigree. Philippine coinage was struck
under U.S. Sovereignty, at the U.S. Mints (San Francisco and
Philadelphia) through 1919 and at the Manila Mint in 1920 until
Japan invaded the islands. This always-interesting collection
continues to present a history of Philippine coinage struck
under U.S. authority. The Mahal Collection is the single most
impressive collection of Philippine coinage we have had the
privilege to offer, and it is well-represented in this auction as part of
PLATINUM NIGHT and Session 5.
The William Barrett Collection
The William Barrett Collection was put together by a collector in the Rocky Mountain
area over a period of years, with the consigned coins fresh to today’s market, and many
housed in older holders. The high frequency of CAC stickers speaks to the collection’s
longevity and careful assembly. While some of the collection are placed in an upcoming
Old Holder Showcase auction, others are seen here in Sessions 2, 5, and Sunday’s
online Internet session. PLATINUM NIGHT features a Choice 1856 Snow-9 Flying Eagle
cent certified PR64 NGC, CAC, in a previous generation holder.
The Simba Collection, Part III
Carson City double eagles from the 1870s make up the sole focus of The
Simba Collection, Part III. This challenging set lacks only the 1870-CC for
completion, and emphasizes problem-free coins in grades ranging from
XF40 to AU55. The rare 1871-CC is an attractive orange-gold coin,
with good overall eye appeal grading XF40 NGC. The 1873-CC is
certified XF45 NGC and displays partially reflective fields. The 1878-
CC is high-end for its XF40 NGC grade, with only minor marks and
pleasing honey-gold color. This is a solid group of circulated Carson
City double eagles, each coin above-average for its date and grade –
an attribute demonstrated consistently by The Simba Collection in every
consignment.
The Cody Brady Collection, Part II
The Cody Brady Collection had its start in 1962. The collector was active in many of the
major auctions, and worked with leading dealers for more than 50 years forming a wide-
ranging collection. Heritage has handled other consignments from the collector in recent
years. The current consignment consists of 109 lots, evenly distributed among Floor Sessions
2, 5, and Sunday’s online Internet auction. PLATINUM NIGHT offers two beautiful gold proof coins
– an 1870 quarter eagle certified PR65 Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC, JD-1, Low R.7 and an 1867 half
eagle PR66 Cameo PCGS. JD-1, High R.6.
The WTR Collection
Just three coins make up this small but powerful consignment. All are
PLATINUM NIGHT quality lots, led by a 1795 Flowing Hair dollar, B-5,
BB-27, certified MS62 NGC. This Three Leaves variety is easily
available in lesser grades, but a substantial rarity in Mint State. A
1781 Libertas Americana medal is a second lot from the collection,
graded MS63 Brown NGC struck in copper, Betts-615, Loubat-14,
a Top 100 America’s Greatest medal. This famous medal is beautiful
and historically important.
Please take time to view the catalogs and place your bids either before or
during the live auction. Heritage’s auction format provides plenty of time and many
ways to bid at your leisure before the auction date. For those bidding remotely, all
the excitement of an in-person auction remains intact, because everything happens
in real time. Our ongoing auctions demonstrate industry-leading results and simple
online bidding. If you are unable to attend the FUN Auction in person, you can easily
bid from the comfort and safety of your home.
As always, we wish the very best for you and yours, and welcome your participation – either in person at the
Orlando FUN auction, or from anywhere in the world via phone, computer, tablet, fax, or mail. Good luck with
your bids!
Sincerely,

Greg Rohan Todd Imhof
