ON THE EARLIEST SALE OF U.S. NUMISMATIC AUCTION CATALOGS

Regarding Jim Glickman's question about the earliest sale of U.S. numismatic auction catalogs, Mike Paradis writes:

The earliest sale I have noted is the Augustus Sage catalog of 11/2/1859. I believe it had 52 lots of numismatic literature which included lots:

607 Kline. Sold June, 1855. Two days. Fine copy
608 Flandin. Sold June, 1855. Priced and named

Thanks! There may be other examples still earlier, but for now at least, this Sage catalog could be the earliest example. -Editor
