Mason City and Fort Dodge R R (IA) 1887. $100 Capital stock. No.A7. 2338 shares. Issued Dec. 20, 1887 to, and signed by James J. Hill on verso. Green ornate border. Locomotive. Stub lightly pasted to a small portion of the left border. IC. POC, minor rust stains in the right margin, otherwise VF+.This railroad was built in order to connection with the Chicago Great Western Railway Company's tracks at Hayfield, Minnisota, southwesterly through the cities of Mason City and Fort Dodge, Iowa, to Omaha, Nebr., and Sioux City, Iowa, with a line extending westerly from Oelwein, Iowa, to Clarion, Iowa, and branches from Fort Dodge to Lehigh, Iowa, and elsewhere as determined. It was later acquired from the Chicago Great Western Railway Company, and rehabilitated.Between 1883 and 1889, James J. Hill built railroads across Minnesota, into Wisconsin, and across North Dakota to Montana. He brought industry into undeveloped areas, often by buying out companies and placing plants along his railroad lines. By 1889, Hill decided to focus on building a Transcontinental railroad, without the use of government funds. "What we want," Hill is quoted as saying, "is the best possible line, shortest distance, lowest grades, and least curvature we can build. Eventually Hill got what he wanted. In January of 1893 his Great Northern Railway extended from St. Paul, Minnesota to Seattle, Washington - a distance of more than 1,700 miles.Stock certificates of any kind with Hill's signature are extremely rare. In our May 2013, Lot 701, the Webster County Coal and Land Company, issued to and signed by Hill, realized $4,750. The current example should be much more compelling, as it is a railroad, is graphically pleasing, represents a high number of shares (that probably gave control of the company to Hill), and it is in nice condition.No scripophily collection of important autographed pieces will ever be complete without this example.

Portugal. José I (1750-1777). Restoration of Lisbon after the 1755 Great Earthquake, 1775. Bronze, 46.3mm. (By Gaspar). Equestrian statue of José I; Latin legend around "The Great Restorer", date in Roman numerals below, rev. Crowned Lusitania standing before portico urging Trade, Navigation, Architecture and others to arise after the destruction caused by the Great Earthquake of Lisbon. Striking on All-Souls Day, November 1, 1755 a massive earthquake, followed by a devastating tsumani and fires, almost completely destroyed Portugal's capital. Modern seismologists, whose very profession began as an outcome of this catastrophic event, estimate that the earthquake had a magnitude of 8.5 to 9. Shocks were felt as far as Finland, and according to some reports as far as Greenland and the Caribbean. But not only Lisbon was affected, the earthquake and tsunami wrought widespread destruction throughout the south of Portugal. King José, who would spend the rest of his life fearing to live within confined spaces, launched immediate efforts to rebuild Lisbon and Portugal. In less than a year, the debris was cleared from the city and restoration began. Dark coffee-brown, Extremely Fine.

Kennedy, John F., Jr. (1960-1999). "John John"-- Son of President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy, American socialite and magazine publisher. Autograph Book Signed "John Kennedy Jr 1969" in black ink. An Ex-Libris St. Francis Xavier Library of Brooklyn copy of the The News' "The Torch is Passed - Associated Press Story of The Death of A President", with a typewritten copy of the famous "Special Delivery From Heaven" poem by Barbara Jones taped down to the back inside cover. Beneath is the inscription in black ink: "As the Sun may / Shine, I will Always / Remember you Dad / John Kennedy Jr / 1969". The typewritten poem here differs slightly from the published version of the poem - ampersand and "I'll" instead of "I look down and smile…" Barbara Jones, a 15-year-old high school sophomore in Yonkers, NY, wrote the poem in honor of JFK soon after his assassination, it was picked up and reprinted in newspapers across the U.S. and reproduced as plaques and numerous other tributes. The signature, which would have been penned when John F. Kennedy, Jr. was nine, differs from other observed signatures, but all of those differ from each other, as JFK, Jr. frequently varied his signature. While the autograph cannot be verified, the formation of the capital letters "J" and "K" share similarities with some of his other signatures. The book has a cracked spine and is Good; the autograph Fine. SOLD AS IS, NO RETURNS.

Tripura, Krishna Manikya (1760-61 & 1767-83), Tanka, 10.63g, Sk 1682, lion facing left, standard above, date below and t... Tripura, Krishna Manikya (1760-61 & 1767-83), Tanka, 10.63g, Sk 1682, lion facing left, standard above, date below and to the right, within circle and border of circles each with a bead, rev. in four lines: Śiva Durga/ Pade Śri Śri/ Yuta Krishna/ Manikya Devah in square with ornaments outside, lingam at top (RB. 252; KM. 227), possible trace of mount on edge, very fine, very rare Provenance:After ruling for a couple of years, Indra Manikya was overthrown and replaced, in around 1746, by Vijaya Manikya II, of whom no coins are known. Tripura, however, soon came under the domination of a Muslim rebel, Shamsher Ghazi, who, having made himself ruler of the plains area of Tripura, proceeded to plunder Udaipur, the capital, and then declare himself ruler of the whole state. As the people refused to acknowledge him as king, he installed Lakshmana Manikya as a puppet ruler, but afterwards apparently ruled in his own name until captured by the Nawab of Murshidabad and executed. This allowed the return of the Tripura royal family in the form of Krishna Manikya who had take refuge in Kachar. Soon after, however, in around 1761, as a result of a revenue collection dispute, which was referred to the Nawab, by now under the control of the British, the latter decided to annex Tripura. This they did, although control remained nominally in the hands of the Nawab for the time being. The Nawab placed Balaram Manikya on the throne. He must have been ineffectual as the situation in the hills, where the capital was, remained confused, until Krisha managed to regain the throne in 1767, with the help of the British Governor of Bengal.

Tripura, Vira Chandra Manikya (1862-96), Tanka, 10.43g, Sk 1791, citing Queen Rajesvari, lion facing left, trident on ba... Tripura, Vira Chandra Manikya (1862-96), Tanka, 10.43g, Sk 1791, citing Queen Rajesvari, lion facing left, trident on back, date on three sides around lion, all within circular border of pointed arches with five verticle lines in each, rev. in five lines: Radha Krishna Pade/ Śri Śri Yuta Vira Chandra/ Manikya Deva Śri Śri/mati Rajesvari Maha/ Devyau, arabesque at top, all within circle of beads (RB. 287; KM. 357), nice very fine with some toning, extremely rare Provenance:The initial issues of Vira Chandra Manikya, which are known with the names of two queens, were hand-struck. After the appointment of a British resident in Agartala, which had become the capital during the reign of Krishna Manikya, machine-struck coins, dated in the Bengali era, and apparently struck in the UK, were issued. It is clear, however, that these coins were not intended for circulation, as only British Indian coinage is reported to have been in use within the state. View Terms & Conditions

Kachar, Nirbhaya Naryana (c.1559-63), Tanka, 10.11g, Sk 1481, legend in four lines on both sides: Hara Gauri/ Charana Para/... Kachar, Nirbhaya Naryana (c.1559-63), Tanka, 10.11g, Sk 1481, legend in four lines on both sides: Hara Gauri/ Charana Para/yana Gede/ma Vamsaja in a double square all within a circle and beaded border, rev: Śri Śri Nirbhaya Nara/yana Devasya/ Śake 1481 in a double circle, all within a circle and beaded border (RB. 2.2), very fine, extremely rare Provenance:The first coins attributed to the Dimasa-Kachari kings are a couple issued in the name of Viravijaya Narayana, who is otherwise unknown to history. There follows a gap during which there were various conflicts with the Ahom rulers of Assam, who succeeded in capturing the important Kachar city of Dimapur. This led the Kacharis to flee southwards where they in due course founded their new capital of Maibong and chose as king the person who had led them there, Dersongpha, who took the Hindu name of Nirbhaya Narayana. His precise accession date is not known but his coins are dated Sk 1481 (AD 1559) and are all silver Tankas, more or less on the standard of the Bengal sultans. The obverse legend of this issue includes the epithet GedemĀ VamŚaja which can be translated as "born out of an honourable (or exalted) clan". View Terms & Conditions

Q2.1; KM. 182B), good very fine, very rare Provenance:The death of RajeŚvara Simha in 1769 led to a succession dispute between those supporting Rudra Simha`s youngest son, Lakshmi Simha and those supporting RajeŚvara`s son. In the meantime, power was in the hand of the Borbarua, one of the five councillors of state, who, on one occasion, seriously offended the Moamaria Gosain, a caste of Assamese Brahmins who were devotees of Vishnu and bore a grudge against the Ahom rulers. The Moamarias rebelled, captured the Ahom capital, and placed their own king on the throne in the form of Ramakanta Simha. A few coins of this king are known and one will feature in the second of the Rhodes north-east India auctions. The Moamaria rebellion was soon quelled and, in 1770, Lakshmi Simha retook possession of the throne and issued some Ahom-legend coins, with their invocation toPha Lengdon. View Terms & Conditions

During this period Gaurinatha had either fled from Rangpur, his former capital, to Guwahati, or was on his way back with the sepoys sent by the British, who were to help him regain it from the rebels View Terms & Conditions

X1.1; KM. 314), very fine with some old red adhesions, very rare Provenance:When Bharatha Simha was expelled from Rangpur, another Moamaria rebel, Sarvvananda Simha, set himself up as Raja of Matak, with his capital at Bengmara. Hardly anything is known about him except that he struck coins during the years Sk. 1715-1717 and appears to have handed control of the rebellion back to Bharatha as soon as the latter started striking coins again.
