Eliasberg World Coins Catalogue - Silvers

Coinlover101

Hey all,

Does anyone know where I can find the Eliasberg World Coin catalogue which lists the silvers (not gold)?

I see the catalogue on ebay but it is being sent to Europe, where I am, from America so not only is shipping extraordinarily expensive but I'd probably have to pay import tax and other postal charges too.

Therefore I prefer to buy the book from an EU country (apart from the UK for the same reasons as above).

Thank you

Eliasberg did not really collect world coins. He had a nice group of world gold which came with a US gold collection he bought from John Clapp in 1942. His non-gold world coins were pretty sparse. Both groups went to various sons upon his death and were auctioned off in the 2000s.

The ANR firm sold his world gold in April 2005.
And Coin Galleries sold his world non-gold in April 2010.

I bought that lot (did you think otherwise?).

And PCGS declined to certify it.

It was consigned by (deceased) dealer James King, who purchased it in the UK.

I own 2 other examples in bronze.

Of course you bought it! When did you send it in for certification?

Last year sometime. They all got lost (!!!) in a 2016 move and I just found them.

What the rationale behind rejecting it?

Well, you would have to ask PCGS that question, and they make it almost impossible to do so. So I haven't.

But I suspect is was the simple "(?)" in the lot description. They didn't want to have liability for something that wasn't fully documented in the literature.

I love those projects to deeply research and find the gem that unlocks the story. Done it twice and nothing is more fun.

NGC? I love PCGS, but NGC has been known to do a lot more with world coins (coins not originating in the US.)

If you are looking for the catalog itself I would try Kolbe/Fanning booksellers.
