NBS ACTIVITIES AT THE ANA CONVENTION

As a final reminder, here are excerpts of Numismatic Bibliomania Society President Len Augsburger's earlier notes on planned club activities at this week's American Numismatic Association World's Fair of Money®. I'll look forward to seeing many of you there! -Editor

NBS Activities at the ANA Convention

Once again, the ANA Convention will feature a full slate of NBS activities. Our club table on the bourse floor is 1321, conveniently located adjacent to book dealers Kolbe & Fanning and Charles Davis. Tom Harrison will be hosting the club table on Tuesday, with Jeff Dickerson taking over on Wednesday. Jeff has been learning the fine arts of bookbinding and will be doing a demo of box building for attendees. Boxes will be suitably sized to contain back issues of the The Asylum. This is your chance to create a one-of-a-kind commemorative of NBS history!

Numismatic Bibliomania Society 2024 Charity Auction

The NBS 2024 Charity Auction sale catalog is now available. Compiled by David Fanning with layout by Maria Fanning, the catalog includes 50 lots donated by NBS members. The sale will take place Friday, August 9, 11:30AM at the ANA convention (room 12). Mail bids may be submitted to David Fanning through August 8.

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.
