When I first started in numismatic publishing, coin dealers used the term “Bread and Butter” coins to denote those coins that were the heart of their business. Not too cheap and common, but also not too scarce and expensive. Over the years I have heard many different peoples ideas of a price range for “Bread and Butter” coins. Depending on the business and changing over time, the term has coverd anywhere from $25 to $2500, but for this article, lets just say the “Bread and Butter” coins of the Kansas collection are plentiful and of perfect picking quality.
The Kansas Collection is focused on European coinage and is being offered in the Nov. 14 Showcase Auction #61236 at Heritage. If your interest is piqued already, I’d suggest you go right to the Heritage website at www.ha.com after reading this article and get registered to bid.
The sale is set up for just one session and contains just over 400 lots, mostly single coins, most higher grade for their type and many right in the heart of “Bread and Butter” coin country. We are only five days out from closing and many lots are under $100 and glistening with the morning dew of a good bargain.
I’ve picked just a few coins to highlight here to give a taste of some of the less encountered items, but I have no doubt that most any reader will find interesting coins in this beautiful little Kansas Collection. It’s a treaure trove of eye appeal at price levels I think you may find very attractive.
