The sale will take place as a separate session at 1:00 o'clock on June 24, 2010 in conjunction with the summer TOREX coin show, held at the Hilton Toronto Airport Hotel, Mississauga, Ontario. The literature to be offered consists of nearly one thousand reference books, auction catalogues, journals, periodicals and other numismatic and related works with content ranging from Ancient Greek and Roman to World and of course Canadian coins, tokens, medals and paper money.
