Jeff Dickerson submitted a question for E-Sylum readers about an updated
index to numismatic literature sales. -Editor
First, as this is my first email to you, let me take the opportunity to thank you for your
efforts for the NBS and The E-Sylum in particular. With numismatic literature, I think I
have found my "home" in the hobby. I joined NBS early this year and am enjoying it
tremendously.
I have a question on which the E-Sylum readers might be able to assist.
I am wondering if there are any indices or compilations of the various numismatic literature
auctions of the last few decades (listing by author and title, then listed by auction and lot with
additional details per lot as needed). I know Charles Davis' American Numismatic
Literature has many listings for past sales, but it necessarily does not list every lot and of
course is over 20 years old so misses many new listings.
Such indices would be very helpful for literature researchers, I think.
If no such indices exist for the catalogs, I am considering compiling them myself. I was
considering starting with The Money Tree auctions (about 25,000 lots). I just wanted to check to
see if anyone else is working on such a thing (so as not to duplicate effort), if such references
do not already exist.
Welcome to NBS! Does anyone already have such an index in the works? Would people
find it useful? -Editor
