PENNYPACKER ERROR COIN AUCTION
In the June 10, 2001 issue of The E-Sylum (vol 4, no. 24)
George Fuld discussed an auction of the Dr. George
Hetrick token collection at the Pennypacker Auction
Centre in Reading, PA.. Your editor came across a
catalog for another important Pennypacker sale - their
June 22nd, 1968 sale of the Jess Bausher collection
"consisting of early american coins and featuring his
famous "error coin collection" used in compiling the book
"It's Only Money". The book was published in 1966
and coauthored with Charles V. Dolan. M.D.
From the dust jacket: "Jess Bausher, a charter member
of C.O.M.E., writes a regular column for Coin-Oddity
Magazine. He is a regular contributor of numerous articles
to all of the leading Coin Publications. A member of the
Reading Coin Club and the Berks Coin Club. A
collector and authenticator of Major Mint Errors for
over twenty years." So what is (or was) C.O.M.E.?
Collectors of Mint Errors, perhaps?
