1941 KELLY NUMISMATIC LIBRARY SALE

  Nolan Mims writes: "At the Oct 4-5 GCNA show in Mobile,
  one of the dealers brought me a few old publications. One
  was  a January 1941 James Kelly auction catalog featuring
  "PATTERN CENTS", "1802 HALF DIME" and a "FINE
  NUMISMATIC LIBRARY".   It was interesting to see the
  estimated prices for some of the books. For example:

  Lot  1221. "LOUBAT, Medallic History of United States.
  2 vols. 1 Vol. of Plates and 1 Vol. of Text. Autographed
  copy to a member of the Royalty in Paris. $15."

  Lot 1222. "Annual Reports of Director of Mint. 58 copies.
  1874 to 1935. No Duplicates.... Value 25 cents per volume.
  Bid for lot." Lot

  Lot 1283. "History of Augusta. Pub. Rome 1641. 376 pages,
  many plates and cuts throughout text.  Bound in full vellum.
  9x13 1/2 inches. Value $6.00."

  In coins, Lot 360 was an uncirculated 1909-S Indian Head
  Cent "Worth $5.00." I guess this just proves that nothing
  ever remains the same."
