Hello everyone-
A few years back Harlan Berk (I think through the Gemini sales) sold the Marc Melcher brockage collection. Sadly, I can no longer find my HBJ catalog!
Does anyone have information on this collection or collector? I have a few pieces of his in my collection and would enjoy learning more about a previous collector with a similar passion.
Thanks.

Yes, he does. He works with those "modern" coins.

<< <i>Was this was a collection of brockage ancients? >>
Yes. Although there may have been other collections, it is the largest one of recent (early 2000s) that comes to my mind. Coins from his collection are currently offered by a few dealers and it is one of the few collections of ancient errors that is provenanced.
