NNP ADDS OLD BAG COLLECTOR'S CLUB JOURNAL

Newman Portal Adds Old Bag Collector's Club Journal

Pete Smith has published the latest issue of the Journal of the Old Bag Collector's Club. This installment notes a significant, recent offering from Heritage Auctions that presented 77 lots of Mint bags, several of which realized prices in the mid-four figure range. Smith further notes that he has uncovered many references to Mint bags in U.S. Mint papers at the National Archives and hopes to include this new information in a revised edition of his The Incomplete Guide to United States Mint Coin Bags. Numismatists have collecting in their DNA, and the tendency to pursue associated items such as sample slabs, Whitman boards, or in this case coin bags, is not the least surprising.
