FOREWORD
Our 10th ANNIVERSARY PUBLIC SALE at the WALDORF!
We are very proud of our accomplishments in conducting America’s finest top quality auctions in the setting of a truly great landmark — the famous WALDORF-ASTORIA HOTEL in New York City. This past decade has seen our profession rise to new heights and we look forward to serving numismatics for many years to come. The increased demand for quality coins will result in greater com¬ petition for the steadily dwindling supply. We wish to thank all of our collector and dealer friends for helping us make these past ten years so memorable.
Our ANNIVERSARY CATALOGUE represents many months of careful preparation and consists of outstanding consignments from Estates as well as collectors. The excitement of a Public Sale of this magnitude is truly difficult to describe. If you can possibly attend this sale in person, we urge you to do so. For those of you who cannot attend, we will again handle your mail bids as if you were there in person.
We know that the successful purchasers in this outstanding sale will be well pleased and for the first time we can offer more than one great rarity of the same date to select from . . . such as the pair of 1796 and 1808 Quarter Eagles.:
With the current trend of record prices being established for quality, many of the rarities in this sale will sell at above our esti¬ mates. Numismatic history will be made again this year with the sale of the UNIQUE STOCKTON N.G.N. $5 GOLD; THE DATED 1830 $10 TEMPLETON REID; the RARE 1838-0 HALF DOLLAR; 1827 QUARTER and other rarities such as the 1875 $3 GOLD; 1870-S DOLLAR; the TRANSITIONAL DIME OF 1859, and many hundreds of other classics.
The quality of the foreign and ancient coins is again of the finest and in all series you will find choice coins you will want to add to your collection. We urge you to bid realistically for these rarities so you will have no regrets when the sale is concluded.

GOLD ANTIQUITIES
Excavated antiquities from ancient Rome, Greece, and Egypt has stopped com¬ ing through in recent years, due to rigorous government controls. Only Iran, for¬ merly called Persia, is now a source of artifacts, from the huge grave areas dis¬ covered in the western and northern regions.
The following gold animals are of Amlash origin believed to date to the ninth- eigth centuries B.C. They were accidentally discovered by peasants in the moun¬ tainous region southwest of the Caspian Sea. In this small Iranian community of farmers and stock-breeders, potter and modeller were one and the same artist, an artist gifted with inventive powers of a very high order. Their most favored object is the rhyton, which is given the form of animals familiar to the artist, such as the horse, cow, stag, goat. The metal workers produced a great variety of small animal figures which the humped ox and stag predominate, along with the effigies of the wild boar and the unicorn.
Though in the Amlash phase, clay remained the basic medium of artistic ex¬ pression, progress was now being made in the craft of metal working.
The so-called Amlash culture has been enriched and extended by recent dis¬ coveries made at Marlik, by the Iranian Expedition sponsored by the Teheran Museum. The tombs at Marlik yielded gold, silver, bronze objects and a great many terra 'cotta statuettes. The dating was confirmed by the discovery, made by peasants, of two horses blinkers, in bronze, inscribed in cuneiform characters with the names of King Meuas (810-781 B.C.) and King Argistis (781-760 B.C. ). Although certain Amlash figures recently have been cleverly imitated from gold of the period and, therefore, have confused the authentification of the genuine ones, these 5 objects have been consigned by World Antiquities, Inc. and are fully guaranteed by them.
