Fanning Numismatic Literature 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.
The prices above do not include the 15% buyers fee.

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 .
