PROOF GOLD PURCHASED BY VIRGIL BRAND AT ELDER'S WOODIN SALE

Dave Hirt writes: "In the October 21 E-Sylum, Saul Teichman
wrote on pedigrees of proof gold coins purchased by Virgil
Brand at Elder's 1911 Woodin Sale.  I can provide a few more
details. The 1834 2.50 had '???' on the lot number. It was
lot 949. The 1857 and 1858 2.50's realized $41 and $29.

"Brand's acquisition of many of these coins is referred to
in the book VIRGIL BRAND THE MAN AND HIS ERA on page 147.
However they are incorrectly identified as coming from dealer
Lyman H. Low. The cantankerous Tom Elder must be turning over
in his grave over that one."
