PRICED AND NAMED MARIS SALE CATALOG SOUGHT

Ray Williams writes: "I'm hoping an E-Sylum subscriber can help me 
with this question. I'm wondering if a priced and named June 21st, 
1886 Henkels Sale of the Dr. Edward Maris Collection exists that also 
has the names and bid amounts for the individual New Jersey Copper 
lots. These coins consisted of lots 350 through 500. 

"The method that was used to auction the NJ Coppers was for each lot 
to be bid upon and recorded. Once the final NJ lot was auctioned, 
then the bids for all the NJ lots would be added up and bidding starting 
at that amount for the entire NJ Collection intact. The collection was 
purchased intact at the auction by Harold P. Newlin acting as an agent 
for T. Harrison Garrett.

"I'm wondering if anyone has seen a catalog where the individual bidders 
and their bids were recorded for the NJ lots. The listing of names of 
the active NJ Collectors in the 1880s would be of importance, and we 
might find a few important collectors whose names have been lost to time."
