KEN LOWE LIBRARY SALE RESULTS

The Money Tree sale of the library of the late Ken Lowe began at 1:30 Saturday afternoon, in the same room as the NBS meeting. Over 20 floor bidders and two very active phone bidders participated.

Some highlights included:

  • • lot 15: Newcomb, U.S. Cents 1801-02-03, 1925, $375
  • • lot 37: Newlin, Half Dimes of the U.S., 1883, $960

  • • lot 169: Chapman, Simpson sale, 1924, plated, $1950

One of the most heavily bid items at the sale was lot 102, Ken's 1994 Redbook, signed by over 75 numismatic luminaries attending the 103rd ANA Convention in Detroit that year. Estimated at $100, the lot brought $450.

The hammer prices listed above do NOT include the 10% buyer's fee. The mail bid portion of the sale closes December 4th.
