The Holabird Americana May 2018 auction will be held May 7-10. Here's a summary from Fred Holabird followed by some selected lot images. -Editor
The Holabird May Sale has a wide variety of numismatic material. It starts with approximately 250 lots of tokens, highlighted by an Elko, Nevada Good-For mirror and nearly 200 lots of the historic RB Worthington
Texas Token Collection, the first installment of this important collection. A wide variety of So-Called Dollars and similar material is always popular, with many varieties coming out of the woodwork. Some nice Ancient Roman
coins supplement the sale in a small section that will expand in upcoming sales.
Currency and currency related collectible collectors will be happy with an expanded currency section highlighted buy a very rare error $1 note with unmatched serial numbers and a small collection of graded uncirculated
fractional currency. A group of Continental currency and rare advertising notes close out the section.
This sale, as well as the next few sales, will continue to have sections from several numismatic research libraries, as well as the usual variety of numismatic collectibles which so may coin collectors enjoy. The
collections offered are a continuation of the Al Adams Collection as well as several other major collectors.
Here's an image gallery of some selected sale lots. See the next article for more on the Worthington Texas Token Collection. -Editor
