<strong>Celebrating</strong> <strong>40</strong> <strong>40</strong> <strong>Years</strong> <strong>Years</strong>


It’s hard to believe. It has been <strong>40</strong> years since I first opened a coin shop in Panama City. That small<br />

one-man coin shop has changed alot over the years. Today <strong>Coin</strong> & <strong>Bullion</strong> Reserves has become a twenty<br />

employee operation that is a market leader in Fine Jewelry, Rare <strong>Coin</strong>s, and Precious Metals. In this, our<br />

<strong>40</strong>th year, <strong>Coin</strong> & <strong>Bullion</strong> Reserves will have over $100,000,000 in gross sales. In celebration of <strong>40</strong> years<br />

in business we would like to present to you, our loyal and valued customers our “Christmas Collection.”<br />

In the following pages you will find some of the most exquisite fine jewelry acquisitions from<br />

manufacturers, estates, individuals, and collectors from all over the world. Many of these items are one of<br />

a kind antique pieces, much sought after by discriminating jewelry collectors.<br />

In the numismatic section of the collection you will find a selection of rarities from our extensive inventory<br />

of rare coin treasures. These prices are generally for advanced collectors but we have coins for all levels<br />

of collectors. Whether you need to fill holes in your collection, or would like to build an investment portfolio<br />

of rare coins, visit our showroom and ask for Larry.<br />

Small antiques have always appealed to me. In this catalogue you will find a wonderful selection of unusual<br />

items I have accumulated over a period of many years. If you fancy rare silver items you should take a<br />

look at the Tiffany & Co. Sterling Vase, or perhaps the very rare sterling Epergne from 1902 by Elkington &<br />

Co Ltd. If you would just love to eat your morning cereal from an 18 Kt solid gold bowl; with an 18 Kt gold<br />

spoon, we have the perfect item for you. If you desire something a little more practical you might want to<br />

take a look at our 14 Kt gold cigar cutter.<br />

<strong>Coin</strong> & <strong>Bullion</strong> Reserves could not have attained the level of success we have without the confidence,<br />

consideration, and continued support of a great many people. Panama City is and always has been my<br />

home, and I am extremely proud of the level of patronage my business has had from the people here. I<br />

hope that you will enjoy perusing our Christmas Collection, and I will genuinely appreciate a visit by you to<br />

our showroom.<br />

I will be forever grateful for the trust you have placed in me and I will endeavor to continue to earn your<br />

business, because I am.<br />

Sincerely Yours,<br />

Larry L. Lee<br />

The Dress Clip<br />

The Dress Clip became the most important jeweled accessory of the 30’s. Usually worn<br />

in pairs at the neckline, they were held in place by means of a flat backed hinged<br />

mechanism that snapped shut over the fabric’s edge. The story is that Louis Cartier came<br />

up with the idea for the clip while watching a woman use clothespins to hang laundry out<br />

to dry. These versatile ornaments could also be worn on jacket lapels, hats, purses, belts,<br />

and with the attachment of an additional pinback such as this one, could be joined for<br />

wear as a brooch. 8.50ctw mounted in platinum.<br />

Age of Diamonds<br />

The 18th century was known as the “Age of Diamonds.”<br />

At the beginning of the 1700s royalty and nobility were the primary wearers of jewels of high intrinsic value. In<br />

1762 Queen Charlotte, wife of George III, posed for her portrait wearing, among other jewels, a diamond<br />

stomacher which covered her entire V-shaped bodice. Low necklines and upswept hair suggested long earrings<br />

and short necklaces. The girandole (French for ‘chandelier’) and pendeloque were popular shapes for<br />

necklaces, pendants, and earrings. Pendeloques are single pear-shaped drops suspended from a central<br />

element with small accents, as shown in this modern interpretation of the Elaborate Edwardian style.<br />

Early artists were fascinated by glass, and it is that<br />

fascination that fueled the development of enamels and various enameling techniques<br />

shortly after the discovery and use of glass. The history of enamels covers several<br />

millennia, dating back to early dynastic times in Egypt, Sumeria and Mesopotamia.<br />

Ancient craftsmen used enamels as replacements for gemstones in the making of jewelry.<br />

Certain colors of glass were substituted for specific gemstones. Cobalt blue was<br />

substituted for rare lapis lazuli, and opaque blue-green was<br />

used as a substitute for turquoise.<br />

14kt lattice style bracelet and ring with<br />

cobalt blue and forest green enamel<br />

is the epitome of superb<br />

enameling technique.<br />

over six thousand years. It is so<br />

Sterling Silver<br />

Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5%<br />

silver and 7.5% by mass of other metals, usually<br />

copper. Fine silver is 99.9% pure and is generally too<br />

soft for producing functional objects. From about 18<strong>40</strong><br />

to somewhere around 19<strong>40</strong> in the United States and<br />

Europe, sterling silver flatware became “de rigueur”<br />

when setting a proper table. The height of the silver<br />

craze was during the 50 year period from 1870-1920.<br />

Flatware lines during this period sometimes included<br />

up to 100 different types of pieces. This was especially<br />

true during theVictorian period when etiquette<br />

dictated nothing should be touched with one’s fingers.<br />

Flatware sets were often accompanied by numerous<br />

holloware items such as tea sets, trays, water and<br />

wine pitchers, candelabra, and elaborate<br />

centerpieces. The sterling craze extended to items<br />

used at the office, in the boudoir, and even to children.<br />

<strong>Coin</strong> and <strong>Bullion</strong> Reserves maintains a large stock<br />

of sterling items for your shopping pleasure. These<br />

items range from the everyday to the elaborate, from<br />

the affordable to the extravagant. When you want<br />

to give a quality gift or add a tasteful accent to your<br />

home let us fulfill your every sterling wish.<br />

Shreve & Co. 18kt Gold Soup Bowl with Underplate and Spoon<br />

Shreve & Co., a San Francisco institution, was founded in 1852, three years after the beginning of the<br />

California gold rush. Over its history Shreve has produced some wonderful things including the state of<br />

California's gift to Queen Elizabeth for her coronation. Also, special orders for kings, presidents,<br />

sheiks, shahs, and other high profile individuals. One of the more remarkable items made was a 14 pound 18kt<br />

gold life-size figure of a rooster and a 10 inch tall bear made from gold and given to<br />

President Teddy Roosevelt during a visit to San Francisco.<br />

This wonderful 18kt gold soup bowl with under plate and spoon certainly follows the Shreve tradition of producing<br />

unique gold items. The pattern is called “14th Century” and was produced during the Arts and Crafts period<br />

(1897-1915). The Lenox cobalt & gold liner measures 5 inches in diameter. The liner is held by an 18kt gold cup<br />

that measures 2 ½ inches high by approximately 6 inches wide (including the Handle). The cup rests on an under<br />

plate that is 6 1/8 inches in diameter by 1 inch high at its edge. To complete the grouping is a spoon that<br />

measures 6 3/8 inches in length. All three pieces are marked Shreve & Co. 18kt. All three gold pieces have a<br />

lustrous hand hammered surface indicative of the Arts & Crafts Style. The underplate and cup are monogrammed<br />

with the initials “JB” in Old English script.<br />

This item falls into the category of great rarity,<br />

and owning this unique piece is certain to make<br />

you feel special as well.<br />

Superb 17 Inch<br />

Tiffany Sterling Vase<br />

The name Tiffany & Co. has<br />

long been associated with<br />

quality and exclusivity in the<br />

jewelry and sterling silver<br />

marketplace. The company<br />

was founded in 1837 by<br />

Charles L. Tiffany. In 1852<br />

Tiffany introduced the<br />

English Sterling silver<br />

standard to America for<br />

Tiffany silver. This standard<br />

was later made into federal<br />

law determining the<br />

minimum amount of fine<br />

silver needed for articles<br />

marked “Sterling Silver”.<br />

Tiffany displayed fabulous<br />

sterling items in both<br />

national and international<br />

exhibitions in the 1890's<br />

and the first two decades of<br />

the 20th century. This<br />

superb 17 inch sterling<br />

vase’s markings indicate<br />

that it was manufactured<br />

between 1907-1938. It's<br />

style indicates that it was<br />

probably made during the<br />

latter half of that time<br />

period. It would have a<br />

stunning presence in<br />

a foyer or dining room<br />

sideboard.<br />

Edwardian English Sterling Epergne Circa 1902<br />

As can be seen by its hallmarks, this Edwardian English sterling epergne was produced in Birmingham<br />

England by the Elkington & Co. Ltd in 1902. The Edwardian era corresponds with the reign of<br />

King Edward the VII (1901-1919) and the Elkington Company famously received various royal warrants<br />

of appointments and royal commissions. The epergne measures 12” high by 12 1/2” wide and reflects the<br />

Art Nouveau style. The fluted central column supports a pieced central basket adorned with foliate swags.<br />

The central column also supports four scrolled arms which in turn support four pierced and<br />

decorated sweet treat baskets. The epergne base rests on four shell feet connected by more highly ornate<br />

and detailed swags. This wonderful piece of sterling holloware would have served as a center piece on<br />

a dining table. The main basket would have held fruit while the smaller baskets would have held sweet<br />

treats. These items were consumed after the main courses of the meal had ended. This striking piece of<br />

silver would make an elegant decorative statement on either your holiday dining table or sideboard.<br />

the natural world. The bent handle<br />

design allowed the server to be placed<br />

Music Boxes<br />

The antique music box, whether a Swiss cylinder music<br />

box or an American disc playing music box, is one of the most<br />

magical machines of the ages. Few antiques can stimulate and<br />

delight the senses the way a melodious music box does when it<br />

begins to play.<br />

Swiss cylinder music boxes were only made in quantity<br />

from 1880 to 1895. Large-scale cylinder boxes were made with<br />

powerful movements and played a variety of sophisticated<br />

musical arrangements, typically on one fixed cylinder.<br />

Disc music boxes were made between 1885 and 1905.<br />

They were made in a variety of qualities and sizes,<br />

playing discs of 6”diameter on up to huge machines<br />

playing 27” discs. The Germans and Americans dominated<br />

the disc music box market.<br />

Four Pieces 1917 Large Size<br />

The series 1917 legal tender notes is a classic and<br />

rarely seen piece of U.S. currency. As was all paper<br />

money printed by the federal government prior to<br />

1928 (excepting the postal and fractional currency<br />

of the civil war error) these notes were printed in the<br />

large size of 7 3/8” X 3 1/8”. All of these size notes<br />

have been nicknamed “horse blankets’ because<br />

of their large size. The 1917 $1 features a portrait<br />

of George Washington. This is a truly remarkable<br />

opportunity to buy four choice to gem uncirculated<br />

examples of this note that are consecutively<br />

numbered. The fact that they are so well preserved<br />

is unusual in itself but to find four notes which have<br />

been together since they have been printed in 1917<br />

is truly remarkable.<br />

1879 $4 Gold Flowing Hair Stella NGC<br />

PR63 Cameo<br />

This is perhaps the most widely recognized example of<br />

extreme numismatic rarities in existence. This denomination<br />

was never issued for general circulation. They were<br />

only minted in 1879 & 1880. Two varieties were struck<br />

each year, a total for the four varieties of the two years<br />

minted amount to a whopping 739 pieces! To suggest that<br />

this coin is rare would obviously be an understatement. To<br />

mention that it is one of the most desirable of all American<br />

numismatic treasures is unnecessary. Consequently, this<br />

coin is being offered at a relatively bargain price of only<br />

$149,000<br />

1851 Humbert $50 Gold AU53 NGC Reeded Edge,<br />

No 50 on reverse<br />

1851 was the first year of coinage at the U.S. Assay Office of Gold in San<br />

Francisco. Only fifty-dollar ‘slugs’ were struck that year. Initial varieties bore<br />

the date on the edge, but beginning with Kagin-5, the date was moved to the<br />

obverse exergue, a small step in the transition of the Assay Office output from<br />

ingot to coin status. This hefty apricot-gold example is more attractive than<br />

most K-5 slugs, which tend to come with edge dings, scratches, hairlines, or<br />

repairs. The present piece has substantial luster, and marks are generally<br />

limited to a few faded abrasions near AMERICA and a tick before the T in<br />

THOUS. This coin was minted by the U.S. Assay office in California before<br />

there was an official mint. The $50 gold piece was accepted as legal tender<br />

on a par with standard U.S. gold coins and was known variously as a Slug,<br />

Quintuple Eagle, or 5-Eagle piece. It was officially termed an Ingot.<br />

A Rare Numismatic Treasure<br />

<strong>Coin</strong> enlarged<br />

to show detail<br />

The Half Disme of 1792<br />

On July 1,1792, David Rittenhouse was appointed director of the soon to be opened U.S. mint.<br />

On July 9th,1792 he received permission to mint cents and small silver coins. George Washington was<br />

desirous of having silver coinage struck as soon as possible as a public act internationally<br />

demonstrating the authority of the new nation and to help alleviate the shortage of small change.<br />

Legend has it that Washington deposited his families silver flatware as the initial metal to strike coins. Rittenhouse<br />

started with the half disme, for as the smallest silver coin, it would allow the largest minting from the limited quantity of<br />

available silver. The mint was not yet completed. Because of the desire to begin minting as soon as possible,<br />

Adam Eckfeldt, a mint employee, and others, struck the coins on a coin press in the basement of a saw makers shop<br />

near the mint. About 1500-2000 of the half disme were minted. When the coins had been struck, they were to be delivered<br />

to Washington who was unable to immediately pick them up. They were all hand delivered to him by Thomas<br />

Jefferson the same day. This very rare coin was actually held by two of our most important founding fathers.<br />

It is hard to imagine a more coveted coin than this classic american rarity.<br />

Three Rare $2.50 Quarter Eagle<br />

1831 $2 1/2 Gold Capped Head Left MS66 NGC<br />

This type of Quarter Eagle was made for only six years. In that six years<br />

approximately 25,000 coins were minted. Only 4,520 being struck in 1831,<br />

this is one of the scarcest of all gold type coins. The present example is<br />

one of the most spectacular examples of numismatic history that I have<br />

witnessed in <strong>40</strong> years. It is impossible for any serious coin collector not to<br />

be amazed by the mint luster, quality of strike, and state of preservation<br />

of this incredible example. This coin deserves to be bought by someone<br />

willing to put it away for another generation or two. I believe that the coin<br />

has the potential to join the ranks of US coins that have sold for over $1<br />

Million. It must be seen to be fully appreciated.<br />

Expensive? Perhaps- but worth every cent of the<br />

asking price of<br />

$129,000<br />

1899 $2.5 Liberty NGC PF67 Ultra Cameo<br />

“Holy Cow” If you love rare coins, and you only have the opportunity<br />

to own one gold coin, this piece should be considered. Describing the<br />

appearance of this coin in mere words cannot convey the amazement<br />

one feels when looking at it in person. Only three coins of this date have<br />

received this lofty grade and only one finer.<br />

This is a monster coin and priced right at only<br />

$34,500<br />

1911-D $2 ½ Indian Gold MS63 PCGS<br />

Widely known as the key date Indian quarter eagle, the<br />

1911-D had an original mintage of 55,680 coins, only<br />

about 20% of the next lowest mintage Indian quarter<br />

eagle, the 1914. Because few examples were saved<br />

at the time of issue, most of those that survive today<br />

are in various circulated grades. This splendid 1911-D<br />

quarter eagle has full yellow-gold luster with only a few<br />

minor abrasions. Whether you need to complete your<br />

collection of $2 ½ Indians or get started collecting them<br />

by buying the toughest one first, this 1911-D should fit<br />

the bill. The strike is bold throughout, with one of the<br />

sharpest mintmarks we can remember handling.<br />

Three Rare Half Eagles<br />

1807 $5 Gold Bust Left MS64 NGC<br />

The opportunity to own a mint state example of an 1807 $5 gold piece<br />

comes along very rarely. To own one in MS64 is even more so as there<br />

are only 16 other coins so graded. The coin is sharply struck and the mint<br />

luster is outstanding, being undisturbed by any but the most insignificant<br />

surface marks. A real treasure for any coin collector and can be yours for<br />

the very reasonable price of<br />

$38,500<br />

Some pieces are one of a kind, subject to prior sale.<br />

1872-CC $5 Liberty Head Gold NGC AU55<br />

Only 16,980 pieces were struck of this heavily circulated issue. Today a mere<br />

70-80 coins are believed extant in all grades with the majority in VF-XF condition.<br />

This is one of the finest known and it happens to be a<br />

mid-Condition Census example, according to the census listed in Doug<br />

Winter’s 2001 CC gold reference. The surfaces are bright with even<br />

yellow-gold color and significant amounts of mint luster remain surrounding<br />

the devices. This is the perfect coin for the collector of CC mint gold or<br />

anyone wishing to put away a classic American rarity and it is attractively<br />

priced at<br />

$24,500<br />

1890-CC $5 Liberty Gold MS65 NGC<br />

Although we tend to think of the Comstock Lode as primarily silver, it<br />

was also a major producer of gold. Rusty Goe writes in The Mint on<br />

Carson Street,” Approximately $2 million worth of gold bullion was<br />

produced on the Comstock in 1890 as the last semblance of the<br />

prosperity the region enjoyed in the 19th century began to tail off.<br />

Almost 100% of this output was deposited at the local mint and turned<br />

into coins with a face value of $2.28 million.” The 1890-CC half eagles<br />

were the first produced there since the 1884-CC and they were struck<br />

in relative abundance -- 53,800 pieces. This gem is tied for finest<br />

known with four other coins certified as MS65 and none finer.<br />

A fabulous reminder of a bygone era and a very sought after<br />

numismatic rarity and it can be yours for<br />

$42,500.00<br />

Rare Eagle and Double Eagle<br />

1908 Saint Gaudens $20 Gold No Motto,<br />

Wells Fargo PCGS MS68<br />

This historic coin comes from a hoard of nearly 10,000 high quality 1908 No Motto<br />

St. Guadens $20 gold pieces that were discovered in the early 1990’s in a bank<br />

vault in California where they had resided since shortly after they were minted in<br />

1908. Prior to the discovery of this hoard, owning a MS68 St. Gauden $20 piece<br />

would have been a very expensive proposition, as only one coin was known out of<br />

the millions of coins minted. In this hoard there were 100 coins that graded MS68,<br />

always satiny and expectantly silky-smooth. This outrageously nice example<br />

provides the collector with the opportunity to own one truly extraordinary Saint. You<br />

can add this historically important superb gem to your numismatic holdings for only<br />

$21,900<br />

1801 Heraldic Eagle $10 Gold NGC MS64<br />

“The Eagle” or ($10 Gold piece) was one of the bedrock denominations of the coinage act<br />

of 1792. Smaller denominations were fractions of the eagles (i.e. quarter eagle for the $2<br />

½ & half eagle for the $5) and the larger denominations would later be known as multiples<br />

of the eagles (i.e. double eagle $20). Because of the shortage of gold and the stringent<br />

bonding requirements prevented this denomination from being produced until 1795. This<br />

early eagle is the second variety of the first type of $10 gold piece ever minted in this<br />

young nation. The fact that the coin still exists at all is pretty remarkable, but to exist in<br />

this state of preservation is rather incomprehensible. There is no more desirable or<br />

coveted numismatic item than an early gold eagle and<br />

this one can be yours for only<br />

$129,500<br />

1907 High Relief $20 Gold<br />

In 1907 at the behest of President Teddy Roosevelt, the noted sculptor Augustus Saint Gaudens, designed this new $20 gold<br />

piece. He was instructed by Roosevelt to make a beautiful coin to replace what he felt was a mundane design then in circulation.<br />

By all accounts he certainly succeeded with this extremely popular design. The date was expressed in roman numerals and the<br />

first 11,250 pieces were struck in such high relief that they almost appear sculpted. After those pieces were struck, the design<br />

was altered to allow them to be struck on high speed coining presses. The date was changed to arabic numerals.<br />

Nearly everyone who aspires to collect U.S. gold coins desires to own at least one specimen of the high relief MCMVII.<br />

We currently have two mint state examples and one proof specimen to offer at very attractive prices.<br />

Extremely Rare Type <strong>Coin</strong>s<br />

With a mintage of a mere <strong>40</strong>,000 coins it is rather<br />

surprising that any mint state examples of the 1913-S<br />

quarter even exist. For a coin to have been preserved in<br />

the grade of MS67+ is nothing short of a miracle. There<br />

are two MS67+ coins graded by NGC and none finer. A<br />

single MS68 example was graded at PCGS. This is the<br />

second rarest barber quarter in the entire set and a forward<br />

looking collector/investor might do well to consider<br />

beginning a set with this coin and the 1901-S listed nearby.<br />

This coin is well worth the asking price of<br />

$49,500<br />

This is an amazing example of the key date coin in the<br />

Barber Quarter series. Only five coins have been graded<br />

MS67 at both grading services. At least some of those were<br />

certainly duplicates (coins sent to both services hoping for<br />

an upgrade).<br />

The 1901-S quarter is rare in all grades and extremely so<br />

in this state of preservation. This coin is blast white and has<br />

unbelievable eye appeal. Whether you are a serious<br />

collector of the barber series, or an astute investor who<br />

puts away only the best, this is an opportunity<br />

that shouldn’t be missed.<br />

1858 Seated Liberty Quarter PCGS MS65<br />

When one looks at a quarter minted in 1858 and sees a coin in this state of preservation,<br />

one of the first questions that comes to mind is ‘how?” Wouldn’t it be interesting to know<br />

how this coin which is 154 years old could look like it was minted yesterday? While we<br />

can’t know the answer to that question, we can certainly enjoy and appreciate the fact that<br />

someone made the effort to preserve it. This appears to be an undervalued type coin.<br />

High Grade Type <strong>Coin</strong>s<br />

1892 Barber Half NGC PF65<br />

The 1892 may be the most popular barber half among proof type collectors. It is, after<br />

all, a first year issue. As evidenced by this example, it is obtainable even in the higher<br />

grades in proof condition. This piece is virtually untoned with highly reflective fields that<br />

offer a mild cameo-like effect against the frosted design elements.<br />

Very pretty and very reasonable at only<br />

$2,950<br />

Attractively priced at<br />

$3,995<br />

1878 Shield Nickel NGC PR65<br />

The shield nickel is the first 5c coin made of nickel in the United States. It was minted from<br />

1866-1883. In 1877 & 1878 the coin was made only in proof condition. A mere 2350 coins<br />

were minted in 1878. This example would certainly be at home in a<br />

complete set of high grade shield nickels. <strong>And</strong> at this time it is still<br />

very attractively priced at only<br />

$1,650<br />

Early Silver Dollars<br />

1880 Trade Dollar NGC PF65 Cameo<br />

This is a completely brilliant Gem proof example of this<br />

proof-only year in the Trade Dollar series. There is<br />

excellent cameo contrast. I find it utterly amazing that a<br />

large silver coin can be found in this state of preservation<br />

after 130 years. Only 1980 pieces were made in 1880.<br />

Very reasonably priced at<br />

$6,000<br />

1798 Bust Dollar Small Eagle, 13 Stars<br />

NGC XF45<br />

This deep gray early dollar displays<br />

golden-brown and gunmetal shades when<br />

rotated beneath a light. The margins display<br />

luster along with aquamarine toning. This<br />

is a very respectable example of a pre-1800<br />

U.S. silver dollar. This coin should easily<br />

find a home in some serious collectors hand.<br />
