Rare Silver Dollar Coins Found in a Wooden Cabinet

[@RobFindsTreasure]

The coins were collected by a numismatist, James Allaire Millholland, back in the late 1800's and until his passing in 1911. He kept them in a custom wooden cabinet that he had hand crafted in order to preserve his cherished collection. After his pasing, the family left them in their original condition and untouched for over 100 years. Here's a good article to read about them, if interested: www.coinbooks.org/v26/esylum_v26n08a17.html I know the video is long, but if you love true pieces of art and coins that have escaped the concerns of time (and circulation), then I hope you will enjoy the video as much as I did making it.

What a beautiful set of coins .a real time capsule. Thanks for sharing rob

[@billyflowers9932]

Rob you are one lucky SOB 😉 I could only imagine having the privilege of handling coins of such caliber . I would just like to say thank you for your content and what you do for the coin collecting community .

[@janderakaleroydavis]

WOW !!! Thank you for sharing !! Beautiful collection. Dipping = Clear coating? Haven't heard that term before for coins.

[@GERBILLOGIC]

Rob, don't ever apologize for the length of a video when you are showing and expounding on works of art.

[@sandybarnes887]

​@@janderakaleroydavis it means cleaned. Dipped in a weak acid.

[@A.M.T.V.]

WOW! Rob you just won the internet bro. What a treat!

[@tonyhurd5697]

I have two 1896 silver dollars from my father after his passing , that received them from his father before his passing . My grandpa was born in 1896 and his mother saved them for him . When he turned eighteen , she gave them to him to pass on to his children . Which he did as well as my dad did before his passing . The coins have not seen daylight since 1975 , when my grandfather passed . I’ll pass them to my son when I pass and he’ll do the same . Great heirlooms to have .

[@copperbones7336]

Excellent broadcast. Bravo!

[@shannonfrericks1124]

Just stunning!

[@richardlucy5625]

Such beauty 😊

[@c.tedbarber4140]

Three 1895 Proof Morgans in your hands at 1 time. Mark that off your bucket list man. Seriously jealous of that Rob. Not to mention all the Seated, Trade and other Morgan proof coins too. Awesome!!

[@RobFindsTreasure]

It was absolutely insane brother!

[@sirsoda8337]

Always a privilege to handle priceless coins like these. Had that privilege this week to handle some very impressive coins myself!

[@richardsappington1658]

Picking up my jaw that fell on the ground. OMG!!!! I don't know if I would ever see anything again like that. Fantastic that you were able to share this with us. For sure a great example of "don't clean the coins." AMAZING!!!!!!

[@allanhartpu3894]

That entire collection should be in a museum for all collectors and amateurs to see. Rob your a lucky man to be able to see that collection . Even handle some of the coins. Congrats.

[@RobFindsTreasure]

I agree!

[@michaelhargis7036]

I know the coins are the star of the show and they're beyond spectacular. Once in a lifetime coins for sure. That antique wooden chest they were stored in was awsome. Old school craftsmanship, old wood and hardware. It was a remarkable piece as well. Great video.

[@RobFindsTreasure]

Well said!

[@NuthinFancyCollectibles]

I’m glad you left your conversation part of the video. Wonderful representation of what I’ll never see in person, much less own.

[@piranhabadass1]

My jaw was dropped the entire video! That was so amazing to see! Thanks so much for sharing Rob!

[@terawattyear]

Thank you so much for showing us all these magnificent coins Rob. What a treat it must have been for you to get to actually touch them! Yes, Millholland was a true aficionado and loved his coins. I'd like to think (and have good reason for thinking so) that many of the coins we handle today will be as greatly admired by our descendants in 100 years as those in this group. All the more reason for us to understand we are truly not owners, but stewards of our coins. Again thanks for sharing your experience here. Greatly appreciated.

[@christopherinnovation151]

Thank you very much for this wondersome preview of this Epic collection! Love the Toning!

[@RobFindsTreasure]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@maddie-yt2qn]

Holy crap. My eyes were peeled the whole time! I just could not wrap my head around how these coins, as old as they are, are in that beautiful condition! Props to the family for not messing with them and keeping them in their original state. (Im also in love with the toning).

[@cougar21484]

That's just absolutely ridiculously impossibly insane!!! Especially when after graded! It was a treat to see such original coins... with NO, or very minimal, damage!!!! Talk about the chance of a lifetime! Thank you for sharing Rob!

[@KVBricks]

WOW! WOW! WOW! What an incredible selection of coins. Incredible!

[@LarryStendebach]

Rob it was an absolute pleasure to get to sit and geek-out over these amazing coins with you!

[@RobFindsTreasure]

Larry - it was my ABSOLUTE PLEASURE brother! I am so appreciative of you and Stack's Bowers Galleries allowing me the honor to just be able to see this in person. Thank you again! Our time together will be remembered for many reasons, this being one of them!

[@billyflowers9932]

[@christophersherman5587]

This is the sort of collection that most of us can only *dream* of having. Amazing of Stack's Bowers to let you see, and thanks for sharing with the rest of us. :)

[@jeemalsoknownasjimhawkins1294]

Wow! Wow! Wow!

[@CasterBlah]

Goodness gracious those are some beautiful coins. I'm so jealous! Thanks for showing them off, they deserve to be seen and appreciated.

[@silverchupacabra73]

"Whoops! Excuse me while I wipe the saliva that just dripped off my tongue onto my chest, as my eyes glazed over from being hypnotized from the toned kaleidoscopic glaze of those coins!" I know the shiny clean silvery white coins are coveted by most collectors, including myself at times, but I think there's nothing more "alluring" to me than a coin that has toning to it, whether that be a dusky gray or a myriad of rainbow-like hues. I think it's because it gives a life's history to them. The shiny ones look like they were made just minutes before, hiding their actual age. You can feel and experience the history behind the toned ones! Those Morgans were just exquisite, from the ones that were uncirculated to the 1895's you showed that weren't, like the one that was PF45 (one of my favorites!). Thanks Rob (as well as Stack's Bowers Galleries) for allowing us this special look into the collection!!! It's very appreciated!

[@GERBILLOGIC]

Very good points! Thanks for that perspective.

[@ethanli7048]

great conversations in the clips. It's amazing how crazily coins can colorize and tone in the years. Mad respect for the family who resisted the urge to touch them or sell them. Love the light but very noticeable golden toning on some of the Morgans. Truly is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to even view these.

[@brendanschuett]

[@patrickflannigan319]

Thank you very much Rob. One more word, WOW.

[@RobFindsTreasure]

I know…. Awesome collection

[@stevebengel1346]

Two thoughts on this: one is that it's hard to believe that when these coins were new, the mint sold them for .25¢ to .50¢ over face value ( on average) and the second thing is that I'm kinda surprised that PCGS didn't give them a custom label attribution for the collection. Absolutely in awe of these coins, Rob , you're a lucky guy 👍

[@videoluvr4204]

yes, pretty strange they couldn't give it a collection distinction on the label

[@jamesgoss1860]

Agreed. This is almost as big a deal as that gold horde found in a box in the ground, and that got a special label. It's a shame there will be nothing to link these coins together going forward, other than sequential PCGS registry numbers.

[@88997799]

You have to ask them for special label.

[@BradleeAndrew]

I contacted Stack's Bowers Galleries, by e-mailing them. A representative there replied back that the experts told her "that there was no specific reason to why there is no pedigree, we just chose not to put it on there and the consigner didn’t request it."

There really are no words to describe this collection!! Thank you so much for sharing this experience. To me it is somewhat of a shame to break this collection up. One can just envision Mr. Millholland sitting in his library admiring the coins himself.

[@andrewlanman1709]

Kinda makes you wonder if Mr Millholand ever thought this collection would ever be so rare or so valuable

Hey Rob. The only thing I could think of similar to your experience is a change jar that my great grandma kept sealed since the early 90s. There were some really good coins, a ton of copper, and a 1931 p and d wheat penny (no s :’( ) and some old Canadian Pennies.

[@edwardaustin740]

I'm totally speechless 😶. Nothing to say, only to admire . Thanks for sharing Rob.

[@retiredoldguy9210]

Living in New York City in the middle 1980's, I had the opportunity to attend several Bowers and Merema auction previews. I remember seeing a number of well known dealers im attendence. I felt a little embarrased when I signed the registeration form and it asked what company I was with. Apparently i was the only person who was there "just to look" at the coins. Nevertheless, the B and M reps were very professional and showed me the most wonderful collection of uncirculated pre 1834 U.S. gold that you could imagine. I kept record of the prices i thought the coins would bring (this was in the pre-slab days). I subcribed to the auction catalogue which included the prices realized follow up results. Those were the days!
