DuMouchelles Friday, January 17th Auction

DuMouchelles’ upcoming auction will feature a variety of coins, firearms, rugs, jewelry, and collectibles. Rising to the top of the auction is a Shield-Nickel coin from the 1880s. This version was one of the last Shield Nickel editions ever produced. The coin featured in the auction is among the only known survivors of the 3,100 minted coins. A capped bust sterling silver coin is another numismatic highlight of the sale. 

Among the notable lots is a 19th-century Belgian rifle with a gold inlay Liege mark, as well as an 11-piece Meyer Gunther martini dining set. An available Indo-Persian rug bears alternating floral designs on a dark red background. The central medallion is multicolored and surrounded by squares. Additional lots include a hand-painted six-panel screen, a Louis Vuitton suitcase, and a pair of Chinese Republic Famille Rose vases. The latter pieces depict two male figures: one is seated, holding an incense burner, while the other stands and holds a flower.
