NUMISMATIC CLOSE-OUT SALES

Dan Gosling forwarded a set of inquiries on several topics.
We published the first three previously. Here's item #4:

"I was thinking after Christmas, while reading the Boxing
Week sale fliers, as whether there have been any notable
"sales" in our hobby. What were some of the memorable
"close out sales" by dealers? If a collector sells their collection
at auction the memorable or important events are preserved
forever on the page of the catalogue. Dealer close out sales
might get lost in the page of newspapers and not be as easily
remembered. I am looking for those "extra special" sales
that have occurred as well as the memorable "close out"
sales of a complete dealers inventory. The story behind the
event will be of most interest to the other readers."
