Paul J. Bosco Auction 18.: The Hal Walls Collection of World Trade Coins

Maybe it's a longshot, but does anyone have this catalog? I recently purchased a chopmarked 1780 Holland Ducaton (KM 90) that came with a little insert noting Hal Walls. I'm curious if this coin was featured in the 1997 auction noted in the title.



Thanks in advance, if anyone has the catalog and can take a look.

    The ANS Library has a copy. Bosco Auction 18

    For a fee, you can have the librarian send you a photocopy or scan. Or ask Paul Bosco himself, perhaps?

    Thanks guys. I may have to go one of these routes if nothing else turns up. I also emailed Paul himself to ask...you never know. I found his website. He looks like a coin guy.

    Yes, I have the catalog. I didn't see it on a quick check. Will try again tomorrow. How about a picture of the coin?

    Thanks for checking. Long story short, coin arrives tomorrow (with a bunch of others!) but a separate package of other items like labels and flips arrived today. Will post a picture of the coin soon.



    I found an old eBay listing for this catalog with many pictures of random pages. My jaw dropped, what a collection that was squarely within my area of interest. Sure wish I had been collecting seriously when this auction happened. image I'll have to pick up this catalog regardless!

    Thanks Andy, I really appreciate it.



    Ended up ordering the catalog anyway since it looks especially interesting to me. Ordered from an ancient coin dealer in England, so it could take a while!

    I believe it's less insulting if you used 'superannuated' instead of 'ancient' when referring to that dealer's advanced age.
