CATALOG ANNOTATIONS & EPHEMERA

  Carl Honore' writes: "Among  the many numismatic treasures
  in my Numismatic library is an original copy of the Fred C.
  Olsen auction catalog bought by me at...auction!  For those
  who don't remember, the highlight of the Olsen sale was the
 1913 Liberty Head Nickel which I believe was the last time
  the coin was sold at auction before Reed Hawn bought it.

  What made the Catalog special however were two things.
  First, it had the bidder's notes inside the catalog,  but then I
  noticed  taped in a purchase receipt on a lot that the bidder
  had won!!.   Such ephemera adds quite a lot to an auction
  catalog and I have begun to collect catalogs that are so
  decorated."
