The first specimen was part of lot 23133 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Anaheim, CA, August 2016), which sold for $399.50. The catalog description[1] noted, "MIXED LOTS. Three Certified World Coins, 1816-63. NGC SP-64 to MS-65. KM-2113, KM-665, KM-40. A lucrative offering of high grade minor coinage. Beginning with an 1816 Austrian Kreuzer in MS-65 RB, followed by an 1816 Great Britain 6 Pence in MS-65 with a super strike and lovely light iridescent toning. The lot is completed with a specimen struck 1863-H Haiti 10 Centimes in SP-65 BN with some of the most sensational toning you will ever see on a bronze coin. Close inspection of this coin alone should prove to make this an irresistible lot. A grouping that is sure to please with an estimated retail value of at least $500. Inspection advised."
