Mark Borckardt of Heritage Auctions submitted the following note for numismatic bibliophiles. Thanks.
-Editor
The rare book division of Heritage Auctions currently has an 1850 copy of New Varieties of Gold and Silver Coins by Eckfeldt and Dubois, with the gold samples on page 45. This is a presentation copy to George W. Edelman, deputy treasurer of the U.S. Assay Office in New York. Internet bidding ends on April 1, and this is not an April Fool’s joke! The live auction will follow the next day in New York City
