Ira and Larry Goldberg will auction the Millennia collection, more than 1,000 high-quality world and ancient coins, May 26.
The Millennia collection sale is divided into three sections: the New World, which will also feature Asian, African and Australian coins; Ancient Greek and Roman coinage, as well as Anglo-Saxon pieces; and selections from European nations, with coins dating from late medieval times to the early 19th century.
The collection has been graded by Numismatic Guaranty Corp.
The selection of European coins features many rarities from various issuers, notably a large English section.
Highlight of the English selection is a Queen Anne 1703 "VIGO" 5 guineas. Sale catalogers said this NGC MS-61 prooflike example has a sharp, full strike and deep, prooflike luster, calling it is possibly the finest of 15-20 known.
The New World portion of the Millennia collection includes the 1535-1536 Mexico 8 reales "Discovery Dollar," which catalogers called one of three known of the first dollar type struck in the New World.
The ancient coin section holds many remarkably well-preserved pieces, too numerous to list here.
Goldbergs' auction will take place in Beverly Hills, Calif., and online via eBay Live.
Three sale catalogs for the Millennia colletion are available to U.S. addresses for $15 each or $60 for the set of three.
Lots may be viewed free online at www.goldbergcoins.com.
