Estate Sale Find of old Stacks Auction catalogs.

Most are from the 60's.

I usually don't find coin related items at estate sales, but I thought this was a good find at 10 cents each.
So I spent $6.50 on what turns out to be worthless books. Still, they're a hoot to see the prices realized 50 years ago.

    I assume that's an ironic use of "worthless," right?

    They're worth quit a bit in terms of information. Some of the descriptions have history in them thats not easily found. I don't think they're worth much money.

    You probably have a lot more value there than you realize -- there are some real classics among the era contained in that stack.

    The Gaston DeBello catalogue contains a landmark collection of gold coins. Conway Bolt was important for several specialties. Aegis is right -- there's nothing worthless about them.

    I'll go ahead and take any duplicates off everyone elses hands so that they have more shelf space.

    The Brobston Half Cent catalog is a valuable item also.

    That one is in there, and in great shape, like new.

    These I thought were neat too.

    The best estate sale item ever was from an estate sale auction. a 1904 $2.50 that was raw. Price was $200. I risked it on that than the uglier looking Indian 2.50 . I won the cleaner coin for the lesser price and it slabbed a 62.

    If I found those at an estate sale, I'd turn into Columbo to find out where the coins are.

    considering what you got the lot for i think you did very good. you already got some way better offers on them ( not bad for useless books )
