UPCOMING JOHN J. FORD SALES

In response to my question last week, Alan V. Weinberg
writes: "There are more than fifteen categories of John J.
Ford, Jr. numismatic collectibles not yet catalogued or
auctioned by Stack's including, but not limited to : Canadian
tokens (one of the finest collections), "pseudo-Low" Hard
Times (one of the finest collections) , Miller merchant
storecard tokens of the 1850-60's, Lincolnia, Franklinia,
Lafayette medals and tokens, political ferrotypes, struck
political tokens and medals, Sutler tokens, tokens of the
old West including territorials and Post & Indian Traders,
Betts medals (two catalogues, foreign and "American" ),
Canadian & American Indian Peace medals (two catalogues),
medals of the Old West, Pioneer gold & ingots, etc. So,
my estimate is at least another two years through 2007,
just as Stack's originally announced. This is based on my
knowledge of what I know Ford collected and owned &
conversations with various close associates of JJF. Based
on what is still unsold, there are going to be some really
interesting & ground-breaking JJF auction catalogues
forthcoming."
