Superior Galleries would like to welcome you to our May 26-27, 2008 Beverly Hills Elite Auction to be held just prior to the May 2007 Long Beach Coin Expo. This exceptional two day event will include almost 1,300 lots. With several impressive private consignments, this impressive auction promises to be a memorable numismatic event that should not be missed, and continues a multi-decade tradition of Pre-Long Beach Auctions at Superior Galleries.


These collections include:

The Road Runner Collection of US Rarities

The PamGold Collection of English Coins

The Majestic Bird Nest Collection of High Reliefs

The Judith Collection of Two Cent Pieces

The Powers Collection

The Compradore Collection

The Turtlerock Collection

The Pine Rock Collection


The Road Runner Collection includes almost 125 lots of fresh U.S. Coins that have been privately held for years, including a number of shipwreck recovery coins, along with a stunning 1879 Flowing Hair Stella $4 NGC PF67 Cameo, a 1934 $10,000 Note graded PCGS Gem Crisp Uncirculated 65, and many other rarities.

The PamGold Collection of English Coins includes over 500 lots of British and English Commonwealth Coinage of the early 20th Century, with all coins graded by PCGS and NGC. Five Pounds, Two Pounds, Sovereigns, Half Sovereigns, Crowns, Half Crowns, Florins, Shillings, Sixpence and Maundy Sets from 1902 onward from England, South Africa, Australia and Canada are to be offered.

The Majestic Bird Nest Collection consists of nearly a half dozen gem and nearly gem 1907 High Relief $20 Double Eagles, all graded by PCGS and handpicked for their stunning visual appeal.

Perhaps the most stunning single coin in this auction is the 1879 so-called Quintiple Stella Gold Pattern, one of only about five extant specimens.

The Judy Collection of Two Cent Pieces is a family collection of high grade Two Cent Pieces put together over the course of a decade. Many of these pieces are exceptional for the grade.

Lot viewing for our May Beverly Hills Elite Auction will be at our Beverly Hills offices without appointment during our regular public exhibition hours listed above, and the auction sessions are listed as followed above. As usual we are presently consigning and getting ready for our June 29, 2008 Beverly Hills Estate Jewelry and Time Piece Auction, as well as our July 26, 2008 Baltimore Elite Coin Auction, to be held immediately before the ANA World’s Fair of Money in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.
