KOLBE & FANNING 2012 NEW YORK BOOK SALE

Kolbe & Fanning Numismatic Booksellers will be holding their 2012 New York Book Sale at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City on Saturday afternoon, January 7. This is a reminder that all mailed and faxed bidsheets must be received in our Ohio office by Monday, January 2. We will not have access to the office mailbox or fax machine after this time. Phone and email bids may be placed through Friday, January 6 at (614) 256-8915 or df@numislit.com. No other phone number or email address will be available for bidding.

As always, a PDF version of the catalogue is available from the Kolbe & Fanning website at www.numislit.com. The PDF is handy for searching for items by keywords or when your copy of the catalogue is not conveniently at hand.

For the first time, we are offering free live internet bidding for this auction via the-saleroom.com. Also, every lot is illustrated in this version of the catalogue and the illustrations can easily be enlarged. Through the-saleroom.com, you may register to bid in the auction, and you may leave absentee bids to be executed by the-saleroom.com staff who will attend the auction. In addition, you may watch the auction take place in real time and directly participate in the live event via your computer. While we have offered this service before, this year we are offering it at no additional cost to bidders. The usual terms apply, but no additional fees will be incurred by bidders who participate through the-saleroom.com.

To register to participate in the online auction, go to the-saleroom.com and create an account (a credit card will be necessary to bid in the sale, though other forms of payment may be used). You will find Kolbe & Fanning listed in the directory of auction houses. The online catalogue is easy to navigate and, as previously mentioned, every lot is illustrated. The following link should lead directly to the catalogue:

You may also simply go to our www.numislit.com home page and click on Free Online Bidding Options to get to the online catalogue.

Finally, limited phone bidding will be available during the sale. Please call (614) 256-8915 or email df@numislit.com to arrange this in advance. Under no circumstances will calls be accepted at this number on the day of the sale.

The sale is relatively small, at 350 lots, but it includes an unusually rich selection of outstanding numismatic works in all fields. We look forward to your participation, whether through the online catalogue or through more traditional methods. Please contact us if you have any questions about participating in the sale.

Best regards,
George F. Kolbe
