Details of rare gold coins and notes to be auctioned by Bowers and Merena (B&M) have been published.
The haul includes a 1920-S $20 coin that has been graded MS-63 by Numismatic Guarant and is possibly one of only about 75 left in circulation.
More than 2,500 coin lots, including gold coins, will be up for auction at the Baltimore Coin and Currency Convention, plus more than 500 paper money lots.
Another coin of interest is an 1801 Capped Bust $10 gold piece graded MS-64 by Professional Coin Grading Service, which comes from the Raleigh-Durham collection.
In addition, the lots include an 1876-CC gold $5 in NHC MS-61, which cataloguers believe is one of only about 90 remaining "all levels of preservation".
