DAVID FANNING NUMISMATIC LITERATURE AUCTION #1 PRL AVAILABLE
Congratulations to David Fanning on the success of his
first mail bid auction sale. David forwarded the following notes on the
results. -Editor
David F. Fanning Numismatic Literature's first
mail-bid sale closed October 28. We had over 100 bidders take part, from
eight different countries. Over 95% of the sale's total estimated value
was reached, which was very gratifying. Competition on some of the better
lots was very strong. Some highlights include:- The plated copy of the 1886 Maris sale (lot 676) brought $5,600
- Lot 1, the Journal of the Senate containing the Act Establishing the Mint, sold for $4,200
- The Frossard volume containing six of his plated sales (lot 486) brought $4,100
- Elder's Gschwend sale with plates (lot 474) saw very spirited bidding and closed at $3,600
- The copy of Crosby in a Nova Constellatio binding (lot 182) sold for $2,100
- The U.S. Coin Co. sale of the Jackson collection (lot 717) brought $1,725.
Some bids received were exceptionally strong, indicating a solid market for this type of material. A few bids were reduced by more than $1,000. The prices realized list for the sale is available in PDF form from our Web site at www.fanningbooks.com .
Consignments are being sought for future auction sales: for more information, please contact David Fanning at dfanning@columbus.rr.com .
