MORE  KOLBE SALE RESULTS

  Picking up where we left off last week, George Kolbe writes:
  "A "mint" copy of Frank Andrew's classic 1883 work on large
  cents brought $715 on a $450 estimate. Haxby's four volume
  work on obsolete bank notes went for $605.

  Some results achieved on works on ancient, medieval and
  modern coins and medals follow: Banti & Simonetti's 18
  volume work on Roman Imperial coins sold for $605; the
  1975 reprint of the Weber collection of ancient Greek coins
  brought $495 on a $325 estimate; a complete set of Burnett's
  "Roman Provincial Coinage" received several strong bids and
  realized $$797; the reprint of Mionnet's 19th century classic
  multi-volume work on ancient coins exceeded its $750
  estimate, bringing $1017; a photographic archive compiled by
  Ray Byrne on West Indies and other coins sold for $935; two
  leather-bound Mexican numismatic periodicals, the "Boletin"
  and "Monedas," brought over double the pre-sale estimates,
  $825 and $ 550 respectively; an original set of Svoronos'
  work on Ptolemaic coins realized $1265; a rare 1897 work
  on Russian numismatics, estimated to bring $350, was avidly
  pursued by bidders in both America and in Russia, finally
  selling for $1210.

  A few copies of the sale catalogue are still available and
  may be obtained, along with a prices realized list, by sending
