LAKE BOOKS SALE #81 CATALOG AVAILABLE

Fred Lake of Lake Books writes: "The catalog of our sale #81
is now available for viewing on our web site at:
Lake Catalog

The sale features "Selections from the library of Clarence
Rareshide, Part I" and has a closing date of Tuesday,
October 18, 2005.

Clarence Rareshide was, for 50 years, an avid collector of
coins and currency. He was an expert on obsolete U. S.
currency and renowned for his knowledge of Confederate
and Louisiana bank note. He was a contributing author to
"U. S. Obsolete Bank Note, Volume I, 1782 to 1866 by
James Haxby. He and his wife of 48 years, the former Elisabeth
Ainsworth, were lifelong residents of New Orleans and "Liz"
made a herculean effort to make sure that their numismatic
library would survive hurricane Katrina. She packed and
shipped over 1,000 pounds of books just three days prior to
the arrival of the storm. We are grateful that this fine library
will be passed down to other collectors. Sale #82 will feature
Part II and is scheduled for late November, 2005."
