ROSE MCKAY-CLEMENTS SALE SOUGHT

  Darryl Atchison writes: "I need to know if any E-Sylum reader
  has a named copy of the McKay-Clements sale conducted
  by Frank Rose in May 1976.

  I am specifically trying to determine who the purchaser was
  for lot no. 512 which is noted as " a possibly unique pattern
  St. John's, N.B. halfpenny". The coin is obviously an error
  piece since it should read St. John, N.B. However, the
  question that has to be asked is whether the piece is a pattern
  or a remainder from an returned order since corrected pieces
  were issued.  By the way, this sale is the only place that I
  know of where this particular token was auctioned since I
  cannot find any previous or later mention. It is also the only
  place where the token is illustrated to my knowledge.

  If any E-Sylum reader can me help with the name of the
  purchaser I would be greatly appreciative.  I can be
  contacted by email at ."
