Serious research question that no one will be able to answer

ColonialCoinUnion

Can anyone provide any information about the 'Aulick Collection'. It was referenced in the Garrett sale catalogs, but with no date, or location or specifics.

Thank you in advance for not giving a silly answer.

Russ

It was the primer sale for the Cowlick Collection.

Found this with a google:

J. Wiley Aulick of Washington, D.C., was active in the 1870s and 1880s, and in 1875 was listed as a subscriber to S.S. Crosby's Early Coins of America. The sale of his collection, April 15-16, 1883, by George Cogan was probably Cogan's most important sale. George had succeeded to the business of his father, Edward D. Cogan, and operated it for a few years, but never achieved his father's patronage or reputation.

another site shows (Note date difference):
Aulick, J. Wily – A Washington, D.C. collector. The auctioning of his coins is considered to be one of Geo. W. Cogan’s most important sales. The auction took place on April 12-13, 1883.

Edit - I believe this is the same person as well in the family history of John Wiley Aulick:

Pretty good... multiple answers with info in ten minutes from the original post.

Now if we could only help MrEureka out that well with his Clark Gruber & Co. research question.... Here.
