The E-Sylum: Volume 3, Number 47, November 12, 2000, Article 9 OLDEST COIN COLLECTION? Regarding the "Oldest Coin Collection Recorded in the U. S.?", George Kolbe writes: "I call your attention to page 75 of Attinelli." [Page 75 is the beginning of Attinelli "Part II. Catalogues and Price-Lists". The first entry refers to a mention in the catalogue of the Library Company of Philadelphia, dated 1764, to "The Valuable Collection of Ancient MEDALS, in the Library". This reference predates the 1795 collection by 31 years. The oft-cited 1828 date in Attinelli refers only to auctions. Parts II and III of Attinelli are often overlooked by readers - my favorite part is Part III, beginning on p102: "Publications Issued in the United States" - Editor] Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature.
