As for the auction, the name 'Mint State' is "a nod to the fabulous numismatic section in this sale," Mr. Holabird remarked. "It will be led by material from the Fred Weinberg numismatic ephemera collection, along with many rare coins and medals. Mint state is the highest rating in numismatics. It also perfectly describes the other unique historical collectibles up for bid."

There are several important collections in the auction. The Fred Weinberg collection features rare documents and ephemera, including rare early US Mint material (such as the 1796 last will and testament of David Rittenhouse, the first Director of the US Mint), early correspondence from Robert Patterson (the 6^th Mint Director), plus reports, documents, catalogs and newspapers.

Also offered will be hundreds of Western bottles, ghost town finds and associated collectibles from the collection of Mike Polak, nicknamed the "Bottle King" and "Tonopah Mike." Mr. Polak authored the book Antique Trader Bottles: Identification and Price Guide prior to his 2024 death. Polak's bottles will kick off the auction on Day 1; less expensive pieces will be in Day 4.
