Just picked up another Max Mehl numismatic item!

FrattLaw

Just got a Mehl auction catalogue from June 23, 1936 -- The Morse, Faelten and Todd Collection Auction, with prices realized.

If anyone has any coins they want checked, just let me know and I'll list them. I'm not sure if there were any noteworthy pieces in this sale, but the prices sure are amusing.

For example:

1873-1883 Complete Set of Proof Trade Dollars -- 11 pieces total ---------- Realized Price $42.90

National Coin Album ------------------------------------------------------------------- Realized Price $5.00

I couldn't afford to buy the Proof Trade Dollars today so I picked this up instead. Not a bad price when you think of the percentage increase compared to that proof Trade Dollars!

This should be an interesting as well Mehl Commem Guide

I have this Commemorative Guide that I aquired some years ago also Michael and I have seen one sell for $50.00 so you got a nice piece of history there.
Mehls comments are fun to read and he also adds in the comments from other sources on the new commemorative coins such as newspapers the Numismatist etc. Enjoy!

Congradulations. This is an excellent piece of numismatic history. I have always been fascinated by Max Mehl's marketing tactics.
