Lot 1727
50 Cents. 1870. No L.C.W. ICCS graded Choice Uncirculated-63. Production of the dies for the new 50 cent denomination of 1870 resulted in two varieties. One bore the initials of the designer, Leonard Charles Wyon, along the lower portion of the queen's portrait, while on the second type those initials were absent. This 'No LCW' variety has since become one of a handful of key rarities in Canadian numismatics, even more so as an uncirculated business strike. ICCS has certified a mere four examples as mint state, while PCGS has attributed only three. Neither the legendary Pittman nor Norweb collections contained an example in mint state, while the Belzberg coin was a specimen. This tremendous example has toned a deep gunmetal blue, with traces of violet and sea-green on the obverse. The reverse palette is an intoxicating wine-purple in the centre, transforming to a deep cobalt blue along the wreath. The strike is moderate, with some weakness through the denomination and date. Original mint lustre shimmers from beneath the patina, and close inspection reveals smooth original surfaces that bear only faint traces of contact. The distinction of 'finest graded' by ICCS is shared by this coin and two others. An incredible rarity and a prodigious acquisition for the elite collector.
Lot 1744
50 Cents. 1936. ICCS graded Gem Uncirculated-65. The end of the George V era was marked by yet another low mintage for half dollars, with only 38,500 pieces struck. This example brilliantly represents the type, boasting dazzling, frosty lustre that is unimpeded by excessive toning, merely highlighted by traces of amber gold around the perimeter. Powerfully struck, with lovely original surfaces that bear only minute traces of contact that are virtually indistinguishable to the unaided eye. Although not uncommon in mint-state, this is the finest Gem example we have handled, and none have been graded finer by ICCS.
Lot 948
Post Medieval Gold Decorated '*NOSSE.TE IPSVM' Posy Ring with Mystical Symbol 18th century AD. A barrel-shaped band with scrolled foliage to the outer face, inscribed to the inner face in seriffed capitals '*NOSSE ?TE IPSVM' (for 'nosce te ipsum 'know thyself'), followed by a magical (?) symbol. 1.55 grams, 18mm overall, 16.02mm internal diameter (approximate size British K, USA 15 1/2, Europe 10.27, Japan 10) (3/4"). Property of a London collector; acquired in the 1990s. The Latin tag nosce te ipsum 'know thyself' is a direct translation of the Greek aphorism ????? ??????? which was inscribed in the forecourt of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, according to the Greek writer Pausanias (Description of Greece10.24.1"). It has been ascribed to a number of Greek philosophers and authors including Thales and Chilon, to whom it was still attributed in the 10th century Byzantine Suda. Plato used it in a number of his plays, generally making it clear that the phrase was handed down from antiquity. The significance of the phrase has been much discussed. It is generally agreed to act as a warning to persons of influence not to be swayed by flattery and ideas of self-importance, but rather to bear in mind personal limitations. Very fine condition.
