The Jack Totheroh Library Collection
Offered for Sale April 12 & 13, 2013
Atlantis Hotel & Casino, Reno, Nevada

Jack Totheroh researched California Fractional Gold for over 40 years and acquired an extensive numismatic library, which Holabird/Kagin Americana is proud to offer at auction April 12 & 13, 2013 in Reno, Nevada.

Hundreds of auction catalogs dating back into the 1850s will be offered, by the most famous coin auctioneers of the past 150 years. Mehl, Chapman’s, Stack’s Kreisberg, Thomas Elder, Bangs & Merwin and many other firms are represented. Numismatic books dating back to the 1870s are offered many with beautiful engravings of coins.

Many copies of the Breen/Gillio reference work “California Pioneer Fractional Gold” are offered, from new condition first edition hardback to well-used with Jack’s notes, auction histories and comments included.

The tenacious Totheroh traced auction sales from the earliest records, and in 2005, this founding member of the Society of Private and Pioneer Numismatics received its first Pioneer of the Year award. Manuscripts from his presentations are included in the sale, including 35mm slides.

Preview will be held at the Holabird/Kagin office April 11 or by appointment, (775)852-8822.

Bidding is available by mail, email, fax, phone or internet. The entire auction catalog can be viewed online at: Holabirdamericana.com .

An interesting piece of Totheroh trivia from Holabird-Kagin: "Jack’s father was Charlie Chaplin’s cameraman and as a baby, Jack starred in a Chaplin film. " -Editor
