H. Ringer ("Theodore Roosevelt"). 45-star American flag, approximately 68 x 138 inches. --> DALLAS, TX .- As the United States prepares to commemorate the 250th anniversary of its founding, Heritage Auctions will present an extraordinary series of landmark sales celebrating the people, artifacts and moments that shaped the American story. Headlining the celebration is Liberty & Legacy: Celebrating 250 Years of the American Spirit— a sweeping auction taking place June 25 featuring 94 foundational documents, iconic relics, presidential artifacts, wartime archives, early Americana and objects connected to defining moments in the nation’s development. From the birth of the republic to the emergence of the United States as a global power, the sale offers an unparalleled material narrative of the American experience. The auction highlights an extraordinary 1776 Continental Dollar struck in silver, one of only four known examples and among the most important coins associated with the birth of the United States. Originating from the legendary Henry Warshaw Collection, the Continental Dollar occupies a singular place in American numismatic history and is widely believed to have been designed by Benjamin Franklin himself. Bearing the motto “Mind Your Business” and interlocking rings representing the colonies, the coin stands among the earliest expressions of the new nation’s identity and ideals, symbolizing independence, unity and the aspirations of a fledgling republic determined to establish itself on the world stage. “This is not simply a collection of historic artifacts. It is the story of America told through the objects that survived its most defining moments,” says Joe Maddalena, Executive Vice President of Heritage Auctions. “Collectors and historians can follow the evolution of the nation itself — from revolution and independence to expansion, conflict, innovation, politics and modern leadership.” Among the highlights of Liberty & Legacy is a remarkable selection from the Steven Lomazow, M.D. Collection of American Periodicals, including the first appearances of the Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights in magazine format. The collection also features early engravings by Paul Revere and a rare printing of Francis Scott Key’s “Star-Spangled Banner” published while the War of 1812 still raged.
