Writing about his upcoming September 12, 2015 sale, numismatic literature dealer Charlie Davis writes:
Please note a typo in the catalogue for Lot 335 Chauncey Lee The American Accomptant. The lot should be estimated at $1,250.00
but regrettably it shows in the printed catalogue as $150.00. It is correct in the on-line version.
Here's the corrected catalog entry and lot image. -Editor
