PCGS RESEARCH ARCHIVE DEBUTS

The PCGS Research Archive debuted recently and should be of great
interest to bibliophiles and researchers.  From the web site:

"In the coming months, PCGS will be offering a rare opportunity
for numismatists to access some truly unique and unusual archival
documents relating to numismatics. Some of these have not been
available for many years; others have never been publicly released.

"While at this point, we don't know everything we'll be posting to
the archive, we can tell you that the original printed inventory
sheets of the Waldo Newcomer Inventory are on tap, as well as the
Eliasberg Sale Catalogs and other landmark 20th century sales such
as Dunham, Atwater, Ten Eyck, Jenks, Chapman and Garrett.

"These take considerable time to scan and prepare, so please be patient.
We hope that in the coming months and years to be able to build an
unparalleled research archive for serious numismatists everywhere."

The currently available documents are:

 The Earliest Known Pricelist for U.S. Coins

[QUICK QUIZ: So who issued the earlier known pricelist for U.S.
coins?  And where and when was it issued? (No fair peeking at the
archive!  And no, I didn't know the answer myself. -Editor]
