Welcome to Bowers and Merena's April 2008 Rarities Sale! We are pleased to present more than 1,000 lots of exceptional rarities from the United States coinage family. This sale is being anchored by three special collections:


The Marquette-Yakima Registry Set of Washington Quarters, which is the #1 set on the NGC Registry with an impressive, unsurpassable score of 65,302. The highlight of the Marquette-Yakima Collection is definitely lot 322, the key-date 1932-D in PCGS MS-66.


The Brenda Collection, which is comprised solely of coinage related to the Lower Appalachian, California and Colorado gold rushes of the 19th century.


The Reed A. Nelson, M.D. Collection, Part I


Additional highlights of this Rarities Sale are too numerous to list, so we encourage you to take a look for yourself at all this sale has to offer.


And don’t forget that this sale will go to live floor bidding on April 15, 2008 at the Sofitel Chicago O’Hare Hotel in Chicago, Illinois. For those of you attending the sale, Session One will begin at 11:00 am CDT.


We wish you luck with your bids!
