I got the following email from ANR. Although the email contains an amount of typical marketing hype, it got me whipped up into a frenzy over this upcoming auction. It looks like this auction will be of a true, old-time collection. I don't know where ANR gets these consignments, but I can't wait to check out the offerings on the website and in the catalog. I also see that there are ABNCo vignettes in this auction too. Hopefully I won't get hammered on my bids this time. Lastly, it is killing me that lot viewing is on a Wednesday, and the auction starts on a Thursday at 1 PM. Doesn't anyone at ANR realize that those are the prime message-thread posting times for me? How am I to get to the City at that hour?

The Glode M. Requa Collection
Highlights the September Sale
Every once in a while an old-time collection becomes available, bringing to the market coins that have been stored away for many years. Such is the Glode M. Requa Collection highlighting our September sale. Carefully gathered over a long period of time by a connoisseur, the holding represents treasures from diverse numismatic categories, with colonials and early eagles each being a focus. Virtually everything is new to the present generation of bidders. To this fabulous holding other selected consignments have been added, including the Lester Lovegrove Collection, also long off the market, making this a truly memorable event. A second offering from the exciting American Bank Note Company archives will also be included, bringing to market many rare items that have been in storage for as long as 150 years!
Our sale will be held in New York City at the Metropolitan Pavilion, The Gallery on the Fourth Floor at 123 West 18th Street. Lot viewing will commence the day before, on September 20th, continuing on the day of the sale, the 21st. The sale commences at one o’clock in the afternoon and continues through the evening, with a short break at about 6:00 p.m. You are cordially invited to participate by in-person attendance to watch numismatic history being made, or through e-mail or other internet participation, or by submitting your bids by regular mail. The auction will go live on our website (www.anrcoins.com) on September 1st with catalogues mailing shortly after. The entire offering will be available for viewing at the Long Beach Convention at the ANR table so stop by if you are planning to attend the show.
Whichever way you choose to participate, the opportunities are indeed impressive and important. The event will be a highlight of the New York Invitational Convention to be held at the Metropolitan Pavilion from September 20th through the 22nd, a grand event. Let us know if we can do anything to help you during the auction or at the show.

I am, however, anxious to see the catalog online and I'm pretty surprised that Stack's had their's up about 2 weeks ago.
So far as the ABNC materials go I'd be very reluctant to pay serious money for any of it. Just how much of this material is there? Will there be any secondary market after the hype subsides? Perhaps this is something you should pass on.

I don't understand this stuff - is it deemed to be really collectible? Or is it the equivalent of a knick-knack?
<< <i>I must say that I'd really like to have more than 3 weeks to decide where to point my numismatic trigger.
The timing does seem a little tight. Do you think that there is so much nightlife in Wolfeboro that the cataloging team is partying a little too much?

I was hoping to buy one as a paper weight.

Surely you are exaggerating your calmness. I can assure you, I certainly am running around flapping my arms like a giant bird, as I'm sure others are as well.

Seriously, I see the tenuous connection between this stuff and numismatics, but that doesn't make it collectible. I personally think they have more in common with those needlepoint pillows that say 'Grandmas Never Run Out of Hugs or Cookies'.

Actually, it was the Denver nightlife that got in the way! The deadline for this one essentially fell in the middle of the ANA, so it was rather tight. This is the first ANR sale where I didn't have time to do the colonials -- including a really neat group of Mass silver, some finest knowns, all of which were bought in a famous sale in the 1960s (the Stearns sale, if you're keeping score at home).
There will also be a nifty 1795 half cent struck over a copper die trial for a 1794 half dollar (Judd-17). Its the 4th like that known -- we found it unattributed in a different old time paper envelope collection!
See you in NY.

Hey! I've got one of those pillows -- two in fact. You got somethin' bad to say 'bout my Nana?

I'm in.
I hoping there are a few pieces I can save from the dipper's cauldron.
Cool, I'm in for that, too.

Collectible? Maybe not, but a few pieces, if they come to auction, would fit with some of my stuff. ABNCo made some of the tickets from teh 1893 Columbian Expo. I'd love to get my hands on one of those dies to go along with a ticket. Yes, it would serve as a knick-knack (paddy whack), but would be cool to have.

Does this make sense in light of the present thread?
I like it, but too expensive for me. Looks overstruck on something, doesn't it?
