CATALOG COMPILATION PROJECT?

  Denis Loring writes: "In a recent Coin world article, Dan
  Friedus gave a list of significant auctions of certain Colonial
  series.  I found it valuable research info, and thought it would
  be terrific if such a list existed for all appropriate series, say
  copper through 1857, silver through 1891, gold through 1907,
  and some specialties.  I have to believe that within the
  E-Sylum subscriber list, we've got the knowledge base to
  produce such a list.

  Here's a first shot at possible series for which we should list
  the three or four most significant sales:

  Mass. silver
  Mass. copper
  Conn. copper
  NJ copper
  Vermont copper
  Washington pieces
  Fugio cents
  half cents
  large cents 1793-1814
  large cents 1816-1839
  large cents 1840-1857
  half dimes 1794-1837
  half dimes 1837-1891
  dimes 1796-1837
  dimes 1837-1891
  quarters 1796-1838
  quarters 1838-1891
  halves 1794-1807
  halves 1807-1839
  halves 1839-1891
  dollars 1794-1804
  dollars 1836-1839
  dollars 1840-1873
