Lot 19 features Thomas Elder's first plated sale, ex. Eric P. Newman and donated by David Steine. Adams United States Numismatic Literature lists 25 plated Elder sales in total, all of which are desirable. From Dan Hamelberg comes a rare example of Bowersiana, lot 9, a prices paid for list published by Q. David Bowers in 1957. In the "hard to find but not necessarily expensive when you do" department is a c. 1942 Barney Bluestone fixed price list of large cents, lots 5, donated by Terry Stahurski. The catalog includes a good mix of topics and price points and most NBS members should find something of interest.
