CATALOG REVIEW: MISSOURI CABINET OF U.S. HALF CENTS

Jim Neiswinter submitted this review of the hardcover catalog of the "Missouri Cabinet" of U.S. Half Cents. Thanks! -Editor

missouri cabinet catalog On Friday I got my hardcover copy of the Missouri Cabinet catalogue. This is the Goldberg's sale of the finest collection of U. S. half cents ever offered at auction. Only 100 hardcovers were produced. The regular catalogue was available at the recent ANA convention. The sale is next January 26th in Los Angeles.

I have been collecting coin catalogues, going back to the 19th century, for almost 30 years . This is the best copper catalogue I have ever seen. There are only 230 lots, but each lot has its own page. For the great half cents there are 3 pages (full page color photos of obverse and reverse and the 3rd page has the description) devoted to the one lot, while the near great coins get 2 pages (obverse and reverse photos on same page).

The color photography is great as are the descriptions by Bob Grellman. For each coin he gives the PCGS slab and EAC grade, as well as the Manley die state. This catalogue matches the coins in the sale. For those who missed out on the hardcovers - the last two lots in the sale are Super-deluxe editions in full Moroccan leather that includes a special plate section. Only nine of these have been produced. Good luck.
