KOLBE & FANNING EPHEMERA SALE NO. 4 ANNOUNCED

Numismatic ephemera holds a special place in my heart - these wisps of paper, little announcements, accompanying documentation, letters and other items not generally saved or appreciated at the time are sometimes more rare and valuable than the numismatic items they describe. Kolbe & Fanning are holding another of their ephemera sales - see the catalog for complete information. Here's the press release. -Editor

Kolbe & Fanning Numismatic Booksellers are announcing our fourth Numismatic Ephemera Sale, which includes 100 lots of memorabilia, short sale catalogues, photographs, letters, brochures, leaflets, booklets: all sorts of material that doesn’t necessarily fit well in a book auction but which is interesting nonetheless.

Items in the current sale include:

Lots 326 and 327

Lot 326: Three mint building postcards

Lot 327: A collection of postcards depicting world coins in metallic relief

Lots 348 and 372

Lot 348: John J. Ford's room copy of the Great Afflect-Ball Collection

Lot 372: Original McKenney & Hall print of White Pigeon wearing an Indian peace medal

Lots 376 and 397

Lot 376: Early ANA controversy documents

Lot 397: Don Taxay's "Counterfeit, Mis-struck, and Unofficial U.S. Coins" publication correspondence

The catalogue is in PDF form only: there is no printed catalogue, nor is there online bidding. This is purely an old-school mail-bid sale. The catalogue may be downloaded from Kolbe & Fanning’s website at numislit.com .
