RESEARCH ASSISTANCE NEEDED: 1949 A.N.A. SALE

  W. David Perkins of Littleton, Colorado, writes: "For my
  research on the early United States silver dollars 1794-1803,
  I am looking for a copy of the 1949 A.N.A. 58th Annual
  Convention Sale, Numismatic Gallery, August 21-24, 1949
  with buyer's names (or initials) for the early silver dollar lots,
  or the bid book (which I believe exists) with the same
  information.

  I am most interested in buyers names for Lots 140-212 and
  Lots 718-725.  The majority of these lots were consigned to
  this sale by Adolph Friedman, who acquired them in the 1945
  sale of The World's Greatest Collection of United States Silver
  Coins.  Friedman bought the majority of the early silver dollar
  1794-1803 lots in The WGC sale.  (Source, Bid Book for
  The WGC Sale of Silver Coins).  Thus buyer's names for the
  1949 A.N.A. sale will provide an important pedigree link,
  and one I have been looking for over a long period of time.
  I can be contacted at WDPERKI@ATTGLOBAL.NET
  Thank you."
