NUMISMATIC NUGGETS: MARCH 7, 2021

Here's a selection of interesting or unusual items I came across in the marketplace this week. Tell us what you think of some of these.-Editor

1822 Quarter
1822 Quarter obverse1822 Quarter reverse

B-2 ,R.5 *** Blundered die with Denomination error is one of the most important and rare coins in this popularly collected set. While most are well-worn AG to VG only a handful of truly collectible examples exist. Remarkably, all population entries above XF40 are 1. This amazing coin is fully proof-like and faces up like a proof. At one point it was carried as proof in the condition census. There is one 61 and one 63 that it can be compared to but both coins have harsh digs and scratches that would lead to disqualification by advanced collectors. A rare opportunity.

From Harry Laibstain Rare Coins. Wow - great coin!-Editor

1941 Philippines $10 Naval Aviators' Issue
1941 Philippines $10 Naval Aviators' Issue

Philippines 1941 (ND 1944) P-92c PMG Choice UNC 64 EPQ 10 Pesos "Naval Aviators' Issue"

Very rare "Naval Aviators" issue, especially at this grade level. The serial number identifies this as one of just 20,000 notes of this denomination which were part of package given to Naval airmen before their missions over the Philippines during World War II. Very difficult to find in original uncirculated condition as seen here, this one is surpassed by just a single example in the PMG population report. Important opportunity for the World War II or Philippines specialist.

This one has already sold in the last World Banknote Auctions sale. Great item - I wasn't aware of these.-Editor
