Earlier in August, Part I of this collection was included in our ANA Platinum Night offering — a truly remarkable group of rarities. The balance of the collection is here at Long Beach, and it is an equally remarkable assemblage of rare, yet collector-friendly coins. Although the collection is challenging to describe in one or two sentences, it is a U.S. type collection including most denominations and series, from pre-colonial to modern issues. Amazingly, it focuses on rarity rather than numeric grade. While many of the coins possess both rarity and a high grade, we can see rarity was the driving factor for virtually every acquisition. In many ways, this collection is the opposite of most type collections, which usually seek the finest grade possible of the most-available dates and mints for each type. Our collector had a wholly different approach, and sought rarity first. The Poulos Family Collection is an outstanding opportunity to ill many vacant spots in type, date, and variety collections that are missing key issues. For example, the collection offers: - [1787 Massachusetts cent, arrows in right talon, NGC Details with AU sharpness. Ryder 2a-F, Ex: Garrett.]( - [(1791) Libertas Americana medal struck in silver, AU50 PCGS. Betts-615, Loubat-14.]( - [1975 No S Roosevelt dime, PR68 PCGS. Finest of two examples traced. An ultimate modern rarity.]( - [1876-CC twenty cent piece, MS64 PCGS. CAC. Fewer than 20 examples known. Ex: Battle Born Collection.]( - [1817/4 Bust half, O-102a, NGC Details. XF. Arguably the second finest example in terms of sharpness.]( - [1853-O No Arrows half dollar, VG8 PCGS, the classic Seated half rarity for type, second finest of four known.]( - [2000-P $1 Sacagawea Dollar/Washington Statehood Quarter Mule MS67 NGC.]( - [1849 Norris, Gregg, & Norris five dollar gold piece, Plain Edge, Kagin-2, AU55 NGC.]( In addition to its own floor session on the evening of Friday, September 6, The Poulos Family Collection has 341 lots in the Online session on Sunday, September 8.

Heritage Auctions will offer important bronzes from her personal collection in our [September 7 Art of the West Auction]( held in Dallas, Texas. The tradition of narrative sculptures for the American west is storied and over a century old. Charles Russell and Frederic Remington's Cowboy and Indian dramas played out in a heroic scale emphasizing physical danger and hardship. While the tradition Western bronzes tell man-against-man or man-against-nature stories captured at a moment of intense action, Goodacre's work has an interiority not seen in the man's world of most art of the American West. Goodacre's figures are heroic and dramatic, but within themselves. Goodacre herself describes her human focus, "I was always drawing — and always people. All my friends would be drawing horses and animals, and I always drew people. I did my first painting when I was ten or eleven." Indeed, as she developed her mature body of work with over six hundred bronzes developed since 1969, Goodacre's technical virtuosity with anatomy is tempered by her empathy. Her figures tell their story with their expressions. Goodacre's understanding of the human drama have led to important commissions including the 1993 Vietnam Women's Memorial in Washington D.C.; the 2002 Irish Memorial in Philadelphia; the 2000 Sacagawea dollar; portraits of Ronald Regan at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum on Oklahoma City and the Regan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. Goodacre, however, is best known for her Art of the West. Heritage Auctions will present a curated group of these western figures from her personal collection. The stoic [Range Hand]( has the thousand mile stare, perhaps regretful for the past. The [Pueblo Grandmother]( gazes with pride and gratitude at her grandchildren. Goodacre's figures of children are especially engaging, and [Pawna]( [Waiting to Dance]( [A Meeting of Friends]( and [Flower Girl]( all show children tentatively navigating the natural and cultural landscape: feeding an orphaned raccoon, preparing to perform for elders, taming a squirrel, or gathering wildflowers. Historic figure Brule' Sioux Chief [Spotted Tail]( stands with gentlemanly hat in hand. Goodacre captures him between the Native and Pioneer worlds he bridged. Born Jumping Buffalo about 1823 in present-day South Dakota, Spotted Tail later took his name from a raccoon tail given to him by an Anglo trapper and included in his battle regalia. The uncle of legendary Crazy Horse, Spotted Tail was known as a fierce warrior and skilled diplomat. Convinced of the futility of fighting westward expansion, Spotted Tail harnessed the power of diplomacy negotiating with three U.S. presidents, Andrew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant, and Rutherford B. Hayes. In this bronze, Goodacre shows Spotted Tail in cravat, waistcoat with hat in hand, well versed in European diplomacy while keeping his hair long with a chief's eagle feather at the crown, a man of two colliding worlds. Monumental work [Crossing the Prairie]( is a life-sized bronze of determined young mother in a windswept cloak carrying a poke sack of provisions on one arm and her infant in the other. Goodacre describes this figure, "During the Westward Expansion of America many people walked alongside the wagons and pack animals on the trail, and mothers with infants carried them. I imagined this young mother crossing the prairie. They wore yards and yards of cloth — aprons, capes, long skirts, petticoats, floppy bonnets — and I had a good time sculpting the movement of fabric in this piece. I didn't use a model or anything, just made her up out of my head, but I found the old bonnet at a costume shop in Santa Fe." The mother's countenance is wary but not fearful. The contrapposto pose, with one foot forward, comes from European Renaissance traditions, but here conveys her determination. Her sunbonnet has blown off, her hair unpinned. She is far from civilization, but she will keep moving West, a pioneer as courageous as any. Like the masters of western sculpture before her with bronco busters and warriors, Goodacre is a mythmaker of the American West, but tells the intimate stories of its quieter heroes. Crossing The Prairie won the James Earl Fraser Sculpture Award at the Prix De West Exhibition in 2002. In addition, Goodacre has won other awards at their exhibitions over five decades. She earned academician status at the National Academy of Design and became a fellow of the National Sculpture Society. She has received honorary doctorates from Colorado College, her alma mater, and from Texas Tech University in her hometown of Lubbock, Texas. In 2003, she was awarded the prestigious Texas Medal of Arts and later that year was inducted into the Cowgirl Hall Of Fame in Fort Worth. In 2005 a major street in Lubbock, Texas, was named Glenna Goodacre Boulevard. In 2008 Glenna was named Notable New Mexican by the Albuquerque Museum Foundation. The honor included a documentary film "Clay Masher" by PBS affiliate KNME. In 2009, passionate Goodacre collectors gifted her only life-size marble figure The Bather to the prestigious Fred Jones Jr. Museum at Oklahoma University in Norman. In 2010, Goodacre's studies and designs for the Sacagawea dollar were added to the Smithsonian National Numismatic Collection in Washington, D.C. She is the 2013 recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville, Georgia. In 2014 she was awarded the Legacy Award from The Texas Tech University Museum Association in Lubbock, Texas. Because of failing health, Glenna Goodacre announced her complete retirement from sculpting and casting bronzes. She destroyed her lost-wax foundry molds and gifted her clay, sculpture tools, art books, and studio equipment along with four sculptures to the New Mexico School For The Arts, an arts- based charter high school in Santa Fe where Goodacre has lived since 1983. The bronzes offered in the September 7th Art of the West are an opportunity for all collectors.

The auction will feature a comprehensive selection of bronzes and paintings by important artists of the American West. Among this collection is a handful of works by prolific artist Clyde Aspevig, who is known for his loose, realistic depictions of the vast landscapes across Wyoming and Montana. Also featured in the auction will be Glenna Goodacre, who will celebrate her 80th birthday and 50th anniversary as a sculptor this fall. Goodacre's sculptures are coveted for their lively expression, texture, design and movement. Her beginning career as a painter provided the foundation for her first bronzes created in 1969. In 2003, she was awarded the prestigious Texas Medal Of Arts, and later that year was inducted into the Cowgirl Hall Of Fame in Fort Worth. In October, 2016, she announced her complete retirement from sculpting and casting bronzes. Among her top pieces in the sale is Crossing the Prairie, for which Goodacre won the 2002 James Earl Fraser Sculpture Award at the Prix de West Exhibition in Oklahoma City. Also included in the auction are works from such notable artists as G. Harvey, Glenna Goodacre, Bev Doolittle, Tucker Smith, Ray Swanson and many more.

The coin is framed by richly hued rubies, and baguette-cut diamonds. This and another necklace in the same auction are the first Rarity necklaces that Heritage has offered.
