HISTORIC American coins are to be sold at a Dorset auction later this month.
The broad collection of coins dates back as far as 1879 – when Rutherford B. Hayes was the 19th president – all the way through to 2008 when George Bush spent his final year as the 43rd.
Charterhouse, the Sherborne-based auctioneer selling them, said the selection is Morgan, Liberty and Peace dollar silver coins.
Auctioneer Richard Bromwell said: “The owner, who lived in Bridport, collected coins as a child and returned again to collect coins in his later years.
“Sadly he recently passed away and the family, how have little interest in coin collecting, asked Charterhouse to auction them and find new collectors who will enjoy them all.”
Charterhouse’s coin, militaria and stamp auction will be held on August 29.
Richard Bromell and the Charterhouse team can be contacted for specialist advice and valuations on militaria, medals, coins and stamps at The Long Street Salerooms, Sherborne, 01935 812277 or via rb@charterhouse-auction.com
