The sale will be split into two sessions. Friday 14 will focus on Banknotes & Bonds; while the following day will feature both Coins & Medals and Autographs & Manuscripts.
Friday's sale promises a diverse collection of rare Georgia obsoletes, selling alongside the "unparalleled" small-size currency collection of James M Wilson.
Among Saturday's coinage treasures are European Hammered Gold and a British Crown Collection, with numerous examples of desirable US Type numismatic rarities.
But especially astonishing is the inclusion of a George Washington signed document among the sale's autographs.
The highly sought-after and rare, partly engraved document is signed by Washington as president of the Society of the Cincinnati at Mount Vernon in December 1785.

In the letter, Washington confirms that John H Wendell Esquire, late Captain in the 1st New York regiment, is a Member of the Society. The document is valued at $10,000.
Earlier this year, a letter by George Washington to his nephew Bushrod in 1778 in which he endorses the idea of the United States Constitution sold for $3.2m at Christie's - so the 1785 Washington letter will certainly be one to watch.
