Lot: 3149 - PACIFIC MAIL STEAMSHIP CO. BILL OF LADING FOR TREASURE SHIPMENT OF GOLD BARS VIA PANAMA [154795]

Spectacular Gold Rush-era treasure shipment. This piece holds special significance for our auction house after our SS Central America sales. The SS Central America followed the same transportation process outline on this form. This receipt, dated August 4th, 1859 in San Francisco, is for a 73.8 ounce shipment of gold bars for Crosby & Dibblee. Shipped from San Francisco on Pacific Mail Steamship Co.'s steamer John L. Stephens, under Commander Lappidge , bound for Panama. At Panama, it would cross the isthmus via the Panama Rail Road Company to Aspinwall, and then board a US Mail Steamship for New York to be delivered to Charles Crosby. Rate to Panama is $27.72 and rate from Panama to New York is $58.90. Gold is valued at $16,500. Signed by the Commander. Blank red seal. 8 x 14" Reverse has four California Bill of Lading stamps. The firm of Crosby & Dibblee was a commercial mercantile house operating in San Francisco from 1852 to 1862 at 111 Battery. Charles W. Crosby and Albert Dibblee both arrived in San Francisco in 1850. Crosby was from Roxburg, Massachusetts, and had worked as a dry-goods clerk in Boston. After accumulating a fortune during his San Francisco shipping years, he relocated to New York City in the 1860s and became a prominent member of the New York Cotton Exchange. Albert Dibblee was born in upstate New York and worked for the State Bank of New York before emigrating to California in 1850. After establishing himself in the commercial shipping business in San Francisco, he ranched and was president of the Giant Powder Company until his death in 1895. Dibblee participated in the Vigilance Committee of 1856. He was influential in the People's Reform Party and held various offices in the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce.

These coins were struck at the Philadelphia Mint for a concession payment for oil to the Saudi Government. Most were melted into bullion. Fineness: 0.9167; Weight: 32 grams; 30 mm, reeded edge. Struck during an era where it was illegal to privately own gold in the United States. Created for Arab American Oil Company (ARAMCO) as payment to the Saudi Arabian government for its oil rights. There is a significant discussion of these coins in Coin World. Fahey carefully discussed the counterfeits vs the real McCoy. The counterfeits have weak stippling adjacent to the letters, while the stippling on the real pieces is even and pronounced. This coin possesses those attributes. We reference PCGS 557991 as an example that very closely, if not nearly exactly, resembles this coin and possesses even stippling. Meanwhile, NGC 6468750-023 may better represent the alternate pieces. The two aforementioned coins are not similar, though graded the same. Sometimes these differences can be difficult to ascertain, as is the case here. Your opinion is what counts. Date: Country (if not USA): State: City: Provenance:

Lot: 3278 - HARDING MEDALLION IN BUCKSKIN POUCH [162778]

This 1923 Warren Harding Commemorative medallion was struck by the United States Mint in Philadelphia not long after the assassination of the 29th president that year. It came to us in the included buckskin pouch with a consignment of Native American beaded buckskin items, though we do not know the significance or relationship between the pouch and the medallion. The pouch appears to have been sized specifically to fit the Harding medallion, and it is ornamented with a pierced 1905 Indian Head penny. Dr. Jesse Kraft at the American Numismatic Society tells us that the Harding medallion dies were engraved by George T. Morgan (of Morgan dollar fame) while he was the Chief Engraver. The three-inch (77mm) Harding medallion was produced in bronze and silver by the US Mint beginning in October of 1923. 55 pieces were struck before the reverse die broke, requiring a new die to be engraved, but this time the reverse design included MORGAN at the bottom, whereas it did not appear on either side of the first 55 strikes. Then, 508 medallions were struck until the obverse die wore out and was replaced with a new die that had Morgan's name and 1922 added to the right of Harding's shoulder. With Morgan's name on both sides (see photos), this piece is one of the third and least rare strike sets of the Harding medallion. Of minor note is the appearance of a row of swastikas above Morgan's name on the reverse. This was not uncommon at the time and predates the appropriation of this ancient "good luck" symbol by the German Nazi party prior to WWII. Date: Country (if not USA): State: City: Provenance:

Lot: 3319 - WELLS FARGO PONY EXPRESS STAMP, VIRGINIA CITY, NV [162671]

Despite the US Post Office being granted a government-sanctioned monopoly on mail handling, private carriers in the American West broke the law with their own private mail delivery services. After strong protests from California residents, Congress consented to allow private mail delivery as long as the Post Office got paid -- even if it wasn't physically carrying the mail! Wells Fargo purchased thousands of envelopes from the Post Office and printed their own distinctive Wells Fargo frank on them. They soon carried most of the mail to the American West. In August of 1862, Wells Fargo inaugurated its own version of the by-then defunct Pony Express. Their version, often called the Virginia City Pony Express, connected Nevada Territory mining towns with commercial centers in Sacramento and San Francisco. At first, they sold a brown 10¢ Pony Express stamp for every half-ounce, AND an appropriate US Post Office stamp to match their current rate. The rate was raised to 25¢ in February 1863 with a blue adhesive stamp. This was replaced by a red adhesive stamp (like this one) in March of 1864. The Virginia City Pony Express was permanently discontinued on March 2, 1865. This stamp shows a March cancellation in Virginia City, so it is most likely to have been March of 1864. Nevada became a state in October of 1864. [sources: www.rfrajola.com and www.mysticstamp.com.] Date: 1864 Country (if not USA): State: Nevada City: Virginia City Provenance: Gary Bracken Collection
