    Here is a small portion of my library -- a selection of pedigreed copies of 19th century auction catalogs -- used to trace coin pedigrees, of course! (So, coin related! image )

    The MacKenzie catalog from 1869 is the first coin auction catalog in the U.S. to feature photographic plates:

    This first-plated catalog includes a clear photo of a 1794 dollar --

    That photo matches the photo from a very rare (R7+) plated catalog from 1874 --

    image

    Through this process, that very same 1794 dollar can be traced to its current owner today, a very prominent numismatist in the South East.

    See if you can make out any of these. Many are important for what I collect. image

    Here are most of my Numismatic Books. Several are on loan or in various other places. I love having books
    and can only wish I had not sold my collection of Walter Breen's Books---like him or not.
    I can only imagine how mine pales in comparison to some on the these boards.

    Any books I purchase are in Kindle version at this point.
    I can take a photo of my iPad but you have the idea.

    OK, MLC. Is that green pb book, with no title on the spine, a copy (reprint?) of the King Farouk Sale?
