This collection features quality material from Latin America, with opening bids that will not break most collectors' budgets. The live session for this auction is scheduled for 8PM CT on October 13. Of the 343 coins in this auction, almost exactly half (170) are from Mexico, with dates ranging from the 16th century to the late 20th century. 63 of these are the popular 8 Reales pieces, ranging from cobs to mint state coins from the late 19th century. Possibly the most interesting of these 8 Reales offerings is a [1837 piece minted in Chihuahua, graded VF30 by PCGS](. This is an issue notorious for poor quality strikes, and while that is definitely the case here, this example still retains a good deal of eye appeal, quite nice for this date and mint. The short-lived Central American Republic contributes an [NGC-certified AU58 1824 8 Reales coin minted at the Nueva Guatemala mint](. The Central American Republic was an early attempt to form a single federal republic out of the states of Central America, initially Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Honduras, and Costa Rica. This coin represents the initial 8 Reales issue of this republic, which broke apart in 1840. Additional selections from The Lake County Collection include, among many others: - [Bolivia: Republic 8 Soles 1834 PTS-LM MS62 NGC, Potosi mint, KM97]( - [Chile: Republic "Round Top 3" Peso 1883-So MS65 NGC, Santiago mint, KM142.1]( - [Costa Rica: Republic gold Counterstamped 1/2 Escudo ND (1849-1857) CR-JB XF40 NGC, San Jose mint, KM80]( - [Mexico: Republic 8 Reales 1842 Mo-MM MS63 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM377.10]( - [Mexico: Republic gold Escudo 1833/2 Do-RM/L AU53 NGC, Durango mint, KM379.1]( - [Mexico: Republic 8 Reales 1888 Cn-AM MS64 NGC, Culiacan mint, KM377.3]( - [Mexico: Republic 25 Centavos 1880 Zs-S MS64 PCGS, Zacatecas mint, KM406.9]( - [Peru: Republic 50 Centimos 1858-MB MS64 NGC, Lima mint, KM178]( Bid on these and the rest of the selections from The Lake County Collection at [coins.HA.com!]( [Back to Top](#top) []Seldom Seen Selections: MS66 1797 16 Stars half dime [1797 H10C 16 Stars, V-3, LM-3, R.5, MS66 PCGS]( [1797 H10C 16 Stars, V-3, LM-3, R.5, MS66 PCGS]( The 16 Stars was the second of three types of half dimes to be produced in 1797, after the 15 Stars and prior to the 13 Stars variant. Of the two 16 Stars varieties, this one has a leaf distant from the first T in STATES, while LM-2 has a leaf nearly touching the first T in STATES. Logan and McCloskey call this a scarce die marriage that is difficult to locate in Mint State. Currently, NGC reports that they have graded six examples of this variety in Mint State, including one at MS66. PCGS has seen 14 Uncirculated examples of the 16 Stars type, including two Premium Gems; but those numbers are not broken down to distinguish between the LM-2 and LM-3 varieties. Our upcoming [October 15-18 Dallas Signature Auction]( features [an example of LM-2 variety graded MS66 by PCGS](. This impressive, conditionally rare specimen is sharply struck on the obverse, except for a few of the star centers. A pair of short, thick die cracks extends out from the rim: one to star 8, and another between stars 7 and 8. Faint die rust is evident near and among the date digits, and scattered at random in other areas. Die lines are seen beneath stars 10, 11, and 12; and star 13 is broadly recut. Die clash marks are evident in the right obverse field. The reverse is just as fully lustrous as the obverse, but shows deeper patina, especially near the peripheries where shades of deep-purple, golden-brown and yellow-gold are apparent. The astonishingly clean surfaces of this remarkable coin ensure its impressive high grade, which ranks it among the finest-known examples of this date, denomination, and die variety.

The event will be Heritage's largest multi-consignor auction ever presented, with more than 1,900 lots, with a low estimate for the sale at nearly $3 million. Golodetz has been writing about wine and collecting for more than 30 years. A contributing editor and European correspondent for Wine Enthusiast magazine, he also has written for Bloomberg, World of Fine Wines and Art and Auction. "The wines we're offering would be described as from an eclectic cellar," Golodetz said. "It features a strong selection of Bordeaux from the 1950s and '60s and '70s, and a lot of excellent Burgundy. There are plenty of choices for trophy collectors, but it also features some outstanding selections from 1962, which was an amazing vintage nobody pays much attention to." "This collection covers a really wide range," Heritage Auctions Senior Fine and Rare Wine Director Frank Martell said. "The Mark Golodetz collection is an absolute treasure trove for trophy hunters, collectors, drinkers and academics alike." In addition to the Friday evening Signature selection of Golodetz' wines, there is a large and varied Non-Floor Session that will stream online offered in the back of the catalog, offering incredible bidding opportunities for buyers. Several other important collections are featured in this auction, including a New World Cache from a repeat consignor and a large selection of rare Burgundy and California wines from a West Coast cellar.

Oppenheim was a pioneering conceptual artist whose offered collection includes models and works on paper that were donated to the Wright-designed Price Tower Arts Center in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, where it was shown in the exhibition Dennis Oppenheimer: Indoors, Outdoors (2005). "Oppenheim was an unconventional and unpredictable artist," Heritage Auctions Design Director Brent Lewis said. "These thoughtfully rigorous objects, made throughout five decades of his career, reveal the vigor he undertook in approaching complex issues. Their simplicity, and in many cases their aesthetic appeal, belie the complex meanings that are present in all of Oppenheim's work, and it is inspiring to explore his work through this personal and diverse personal collection." Among the highlights of the Oppenheim collection in the auction is [Dennis Oppenheim Viewing Station #1, 1967]( (estimate: $3,000-5,000) is from a series of models that constitute his first deliberate move beyond the gallery context to addressing outdoor space. Viewing Station #1 consists of a four-sided square base structure that tapers up to a smaller platform for viewing land. Oppenheim said he did Viewing Stations, on which people could stand to look at land and excavated structures. The Viewing Stations, he said, prioritized the action of seeing while playing down the centrality of an actual object created to facilitate the experience of the work. [Dennis Oppenheim Entrance Piece, 2002]( (estimate: $3,000-5,000) is a model for Entrance, which was built in 2004 in Tempe, Arizona, and Entrance Piece, which was built in 2005 in Taoyuan City, Taiwan. This model also relates to Entrance to a Garden, part of Oppenheim's large-scale works at the Storm King Art Center in New Windsor, New York, in 2016. Through this work, Oppenheim beautifully fuses art, architecture and fashion. [Engagement, 1997]( (estimate: $3,000-5,000) is one of Oppenheim's most recognizable works. The model for a series of outdoor sculptures depicting two large-scale steel rings topped with houses tilting away from each other. The rings evoke images of solitaire diamond engagement rings, in an homage to the institution of marriage and its complexities. Individual versions are featured in the Helsinki City Art Museum in Finland and the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno, and has been displayed as a public art project in a range of cities, including New York, Hong Kong, San Diego, California and Vancouver, Canada. [Variation on a Device to Root Out Evil, 1997]( (estimate: $3,000-5,000) relates to one of Oppenheim's most well-known large-scale outdoor sculptures, Device to Root Out Evil, which was exhibited at the 1997 Venice Biennale and the 2007 Vancouver Biennale, and is in the Collections of the City of Palma de Mallorca, Spain and The Denver Art Museum in Colorado. The metal and glass work portrays an upside-down early rural New England-style church precariously balanced on the tip of its steeple, which is buried in the ground. "Price Tower is showing work that moves from conventional sculpture toward something I feel to be the beginnings of a new sculpture/architecture hybrid," Oppenheim said at the time of his donation of his works. Among the other top lots in the sale is [Claude Lalanne's Garden Bench from the DeWitt and Lila Archeson Wallace Garden at Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia 1984]( $120,000-180,000). The bench comes from an expansive group of furniture, ceramics and sculpture for the Wallace Garden, and at the time of its completion represented the artist's largest American public commission. It is included in a series of benches, tables and chairs Lalanne created for this installation. The Lalanne bench is offered from an important private collection, including rare works by Francois-Xavier and Claude Lalanne, Georges Jouve and Harry Bertoia.
