U.S. COIN SALE CATALOG PRODUCTION 1856-1858

Adrián González Salinas writes: "Best wishes from Monterrey,
Nuevo León, México. I'd like to congratulate you for the
excellent contents in every The E-Sylum issue. In fact, this
electronic publication is an immediate collectible.

I enjoyed reading the Karl Moulton's article "American
Nineteenth-Century Catalogue Census" (The Asylum Vol.
XXIII No. 1 - Winter 2005).

Analyzing his information, in the period 1856-1858 only Bangs &
Co. published just one numismatic catalogue (26 Oct 1858).
Neither Augustus B. Sage nor M. Thomas published catalogues
in this period. Does any reader know why just one catalogue was
published in 1856-1858?"

[Attinelli's "Numisgraphics" lists three entries for 1856, but only
one is an auction sale. There are four entries for 1857, but again,
only one is an auction (as with 1856, the others are catalogues
of public collections including the New York State Library and
the National Institute and Patent Office. In 1858 Attinelli lists
four entries, but none are auctions (two are fixed price lists, and
the remaining two are catalogs from other public institutions.
