Lot # 1047 - USA. California Diamond Jubilee. Half dollar 1925 S, San Francisco mint. KM 155. AR. 12.44 g. 30.5 mm. FDC.

Lot # 1046 - USA. Columbian Exposition 1893. Half Dollar 1893. KM 117. AR. 12.53 g. 30.5 mm. Prooflike. Light iridescent tone. Rare as such. FDC. Almost one million examples were struck in 1892 and an additional 1,548,300 struck in 1893, the coins were sold at the exposition for $1 a piece. This turned out to be the numismatic equivalent of 'the eyes were bigger than the stomach' and large quantities of the coins went unsold. Ultimately, the remaining pieces - predominately 1893-dated coins - were released into general circulation, where they could occasionally be found in change decades later. This experience soured the Treasury on commemorative half dollars for several years afterwards. Despite having the larger mintage of the two years, the 1893 half dollars are much more easily found in lower grades and is not nearly as available in the higher Mint State levels.

According to the condition this coin should come from the Vliegenthart Shipwreck. About EF. The Vliegenthart was an 18th-century East Indiaman of the Dutch East India Company. It was built in 1729 in Middelburg for the Chamber of Zeeland. Her maiden voyage was in December 1730, departing from Fort Rammekens (Netherlands) to Batavia (now Jakarta, Indonesia), commanded by Captain Abraham van der Hart.On February 3, 1735 the ship left from Rammekens for Batavia, commanded by Captain Cornelis van der Horst. She was accompanied by the smaller ship Anna Catherina, under command of Jacob de Prinse, and carried a cargo of wood, building materials, iron, gunpowder and wine, as well as several chests with gold and silver coins. Shortly after departure both ships ran aground in the Scheldt estuary on the sandbanks around Duerloo Channel and were lost with all cargo and crew.In the following days, barrels with jenever, beer, and oil washed ashore on the beaches of Blankenberge and Nieuwpoort. In 1736, the British diver Captain William Evans salvaged some items, including 700 wine bottles and an iron cannon. Because of the difficult conditions there were no further salvage attempts and gradually the wreck was forgotten. It was not until 1981 that the wreck site would be rediscovered. Many artifacts, including wine bottles, bullets and an intact coffer with 2000 gold ducats and 5000 silver reales were retrieved.In 1991 a second chest filled with gold ducats and Spanish reales was discovered, as well as several cases of silver ducatons. As these ducatons (riders) were not listed on the official cargo document it is likely they were smuggled on board by members of the crew to be sold for higher prices in the East Indies.
