ANS DUPLICATE CATALOGUES FOR SALE

Speaking of catalogues, buried deep in an article about the American Numismatic Society in the December 13th issue of COIN World, is an interesting quote from ANS Executive Director Ute Wartenberg, that "the ANS basement is full of tens of thousands of duplicate auction catalogs the ANS hopes to sell to four or five interested book dealers starting next year." It will be interesting to see what firms and catalogues are represented in the hoard, and what affect their availability will have on the numismatic literature market.

Other articles in the issue include a great piece by Paul Gilkes on Washington Funeral Medals, with research input from David Alexander and others. On page 20 is an article titled "Bibliomaniac tracks first six volumes of The Numismatist", a review of David Sklow's article in the last issue of our print journal, The Asylum.
