The sale’s rarest and most anticipated lots were found in the sessions devoted to important collections assembled over decades. Part two of the Emilio M. Ortiz Collection featured dozens of extremely elusive Latin American Cuartillos, many of which had never been offered in a public auction. Notable lots included a stunning near-Gem from Zacatecas which brought $36,000 after fierce bidding, an 1861 Sinaloa pattern which sold for $28,800, and a fascinating and extremely rare Chilean token from 1821 that realized $24,000.

此次拍賣會中最稀有、最受期待的拍品是在專門展示數十年來收集的重要收藏的專場中發現的。埃米利奧·M·奧爾蒂斯收藏的第二部分展示了數十件極其難以捉摸的拉丁美洲 Cuartillos，其中許多從未在公開拍賣中出售過。著名拍品包括來自薩卡特卡斯的令人驚嘆的準寶石，經過激烈的競拍以36,000 美元成交；一件1861 年的錫那羅亞圖案，成交價為28,800 美元；以及一件迷人且極為罕見的1821 年智利代幣，成交價為24,000 美元。

The Richard Margolis Collection offered numerous French trials, patterns, and other rarities which had not been seen in the market for many years. An astonishing 20 Francs Essai of Napoleon as Consul in PCGS SP-65+ was the clear headliner, reaching $198,000. The various Essais of Louis XVI from the 1791 Écu competition also attracted great interest, with artistic examples by DuVivier and Andreiu smashing  estimates as they sold for $72,000 and $66,000, respectively.

理查德·馬戈利斯 (Richard Margolis) 收藏品提供了許多法國嘗試、圖案和其他多年來在市場上從未見過的稀有物品。令人驚嘆的 20 法郎拿破崙作為領事的文章 PCGS SP-65+ 顯然是頭條新聞，達到 198,000 美元。 1791 年 Écu 比賽中路易十六的各種隨筆也引起了人們的極大興趣，杜維維埃和安德烈尤的藝術作品分別以 72,000 美元和 66,000 美元的價格成交，超出了估價。

The final live session centered on Latin American coinage and featured the breathtaking collection of S.P. Rutherford. His expansive assortment of rarities focused on “Royal” cobs of Mexico, Potosi, and Lima, as well as the most elusive varieties of “Pillar” Dollars. Notable lots included the legendary Greenland “Pillar” Dollar that brought $40,800, the early Rincon 8 Reales from Lima which realized $33,600, and an especially beautiful 1670 Bolivian “Royal” that left its estimate in the dust selling at $28,800. Other highlights from this session included a stunning and rare Bolivian 1852 8 Scudos in MS-63+ that reached $96,000, crowning the impressive Marcos Urrutia Collection of Bolivian 8 Scudos. An extremely rare Costa Rican counterstamp on a 5 Francs of Louis Philippe captured countermark enthusiasts’ attention selling for $66,000.

最後的現場會議以拉丁美洲硬幣為中心，並以 SP 盧瑟福令人驚嘆的收藏為特色。他的珍品種類繁多，主要集中在墨西哥、波托西和利馬的“皇家”玉米棒，以及最難以捉摸的“支柱”美元品種。值得注意的拍品包括傳奇的格陵蘭“Pillar”美元，成交價為40,800 美元，來自利馬的早期Rincon 8 Reales，成交價為33,600 美元，以及特別美麗的1670 年玻利維亞“皇家”，其估價遠超預期，售價為28,800 美元。本次會議的其他亮點包括令人驚嘆且罕見的玻利維亞 1852 年 8 Scudos，MS-63+ 售價高達 96,000 美元，為令人印象深刻的 Marcos Urrutia 玻利維亞 8 Scudos 收藏加冕。一枚極為罕見的哥斯達黎加蓋印在路易菲利普 5 法郎硬幣上，引起了蓋印愛好者的注意，售價為 66,000 美元。

World Paper Money was also well represented in the auction with a special catalog comprising an exciting selection of banknotes from the Americas which brought over $928,000.
