EARLY AMERICAN COPPERS SALE CATALOG

  The catalog for the April 20, 2002 EAC Convention sale
  is out, with 764 lots of early copper and colonials, quite
  a few of which are illustrated.  I haven't been paying close
  attention to their sales in recent years, but one traditional
  fixture of the sales used to be that the first few lots in the
  sale consisted of large cent literature - always a good way
  to introduce copper collectors to the joys of numismatic
  literature.

  Perhaps some of our literature dealer members would
  object, but if every coin sale included a few lots of the
  corresponding literature, it would be a good way to
  expose some potential literature collectors to our hobby.
  Of course, as Morten Eske Mortenson's research showed,
  you can lead a horse to books but can't make him read,
  so that may be one reason why coin dealers rarely do this
  today.
