Fred and Kathy Borcherdt

Fred Borcherdt’s collection is called “The Hall of Fame Collection” for two reasons: first because he is in The Drag Racing Hall of Fame, and second because the coin collection he built is worthy of Large Cents Hall of Fame status. Fred set drag racing records and won national championships in a highly competitive sport. He earned a sponsorship from the Pontiac Motor Division during the “Muscle Car” era of the 60’s and 70’s because he found ways to improve the performance of their engines and drive trains beyond what the finest Pontiac engineers were able to achieve. As a result he was able to win championships racing Pontiac cars, and that brought added prestige to the Pontiac stable of high-performance vehicles. Because of his performance as a car builder and race driver he was enshrined into the Drag Racing Hall of Fame in 1972. Fred’s coin collection also qualifies for a Large Cents Hall of Fame (although none exists today, at least not officially) because he assembled a collection of superior quality and depth. The collection was built quietly and privately over many decades. Many if not most of his coins will be new to the marketplace. They came from private sources and have never been sold at auction, appeared in a dealer’s show case, or been offered on a fixed price list. Some are the finest known of the variety and others are extremely rare die states. But there is something for everyone with lower grade “backup” coins of most varieties in affordable grades. The extent of the collection is astounding. And the overall quality of the first line collection is breathtaking. You can’t look at everything in one day. We have tried—and failed miserably. Large Cents are the focus of his collection, but there is more. You will find superior examples of small cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, and half dollars. An ORIGINAL mint roll of 1909 VDB cents is included, all gem lustrous BU. The surprises just keep coming. So get ready for something special. Cataloging the entire collection will take some time. Your area of interest will become available soon. Please be patient. We are confident you will find coins that will fit your collecting objectives. So get ready for a real treat—even if all you do is look.

This part of our auction of the Fred Borcherdt collection features his early half dollars.
