ATTENTION! Weekend Special Auction with Shanny! The Key Date Coins Weekend Special!
What is The Key Date Coin Special?
Well, when you ask, we will always listen. We have been getting a lot of complaints from people that with our most recent updates to our weekly high end coin auction with Corey, there’s too many high value coins there and not enough things for people to actually bid on, get a bargain they can afford, and come away with the same feeling and thrill that they used to have at our auction. So, we listened and we did a complete 180. We launched The Key Date Coin Special. An additional auction, 2 more nights a week, at the same 7:30pm start time, with all of the types of coins you wanted.

*Highlight* 1869 "Rainbow Note" $1 Large Size Legal Tender Note Grades Select AU Signatures Alison/Spinner (fc). FR-18 One of the most coveted and sought-after currency pieces in American history is this 1869 Legal Tender Series “Rainbow” Note, so named for the colorful appearance of the front design, which features a red Treasury seal and serial numbers, a green frame around the serial number, a green tint at the top of the note, and a vertical blue tint or “stain” that runs vertically through part of the paper. Not only are the 1869 Legal Tender Series notes the only notes which bear the label “Treasury Note” instead of the label “United States Note,” found on all later issues, this $1 note from the series also marks the very first appearance of President George Washington on any federal $1 denomination bill! Listed as #41 in the book 100 Greatest Currency Notes by Q. David Bowers, the Rainbow Note also features a vignette of Columbus arriving in the New World in the upper left corner. The reverse side is perhaps even more interesting, with an array of continuous geometric “flowers” surrounding the intertwined letters “US” and a block of text describing the penalties for counterfeiting. In fact, the term “greenbacks” was used for the notes thanks to their dazzling all-green colored backs. First authorized in 1862, Legal Tender Notes are the longest-lived type of U.S. paper money in the United States. Unlike other paper currency, these notes were backed only by the credit of the government, and none have been authorized since 1869.
