PENNYPACKER HOLLAND CENT AUCTION 

   Another interesting piece of ephemera I stumbled across 
   recently is a copy of the May 8, 1959 auction of  "The 
   Famous Leonard M. Holland Large Copper Cent 
   Collection" sold at the aptly-named Pennypacker Auction 
   Centre in Reading, PA.  According to a number of 
   accounts, the sale was little publicized and only a small 
   number of  knowledgeable copper collectors were on 
   hand.  Reportedly, they formed a consortium to buy 
   the cents, then re-auction them among themselves. 
   One account appears in the October 17th, 1992 
   Kolbe sale of the Dennis Mendelson Library (lot 133).
