Lot 15 The NBS Charity Auction was held Friday, August 22, at the American Numismatic Association Convention in Oklahoma City, OK. A total of 21 bidders registered to compete for the 41 lots. Top honors went to lot 30, a complete set of Wayte Raymond's Coin Collectors Journal (1934-1958), which sold for $1,100. Many thanks to David Steine for donating this set. Lot 15, a full-leatherbound copy of the Charles Davis reference American Numismatic Literature (1992), drew a bid of $1,000 on a $300 estimate. We thank ex-NBS President Tom Harrison for donating this lot. A leaf copy of Adams & Bentley's Comitia Americana (2007), Lot 1, donated by Dan Hamelberg, drew a high bid of $950. Lot 4, a copy of Len Augsburger's Treasure in the Cellar (2008), was won by Brad Karoleff at $45. With appreciation for Karoleff's history as an auctioneer, Len offered that he would add his signature to this unsigned copy for another $45. The sale raised a total of $7,835 for club. Many thanks to the donors, bidders, and sale coordinators, including David Fanning (cataloger), Maria Fanning (who called the sale), and Jeff Dickerson, who took on the yeoman task of collecting and transporting the sale lots to the convention center. Here are my photos of some of the lots and the bidding action. That's Jeff Dickerson with his paddle raised. Thanks, everyone! -Editor
