Does anyone have a copy - I'm researching a coin and somehow can't find this sale in my library.

I might but it would take 1-2 hours - what's it worth to you.....
Wasn't it ANR by then??
Mine only go back to 2009, sorry
I have the catalogue. What you want?
I have a copy.
To make a guess, the double struck Clark, Gruber is lot 1661, mentioned as being ex 06ANA: 4064. Graded EF45 by PCGS. I can see the expected die dent near the V of DENVER, but I don't recall what to look for in the either die markers I'm sure you're interested in. I don't have the PRL.

Wish you hadn't posted that catalog - I bought some American Bank Note plates in that auction that I really regret buying......
PCGS Coinfacts lists a Bowers (not an ANR sale) in August of 2007.
Tim - I remember looking at lots with you at that sale - I still have an Iron Pyrite sample I bought for myself there. I'm similarly regretful, having put the fool in this particular piece of fool's gold.

And I remember sitting next to you when you bought it and thinking how I wished I were as smart as you.
There was also a Bowers and Merena auction starting on 8-4-2007 separate from the 8-5-2007 Stack's auction (ANR had already merged with Stack's by then) linked above by @BG.
I dropped off the Bowers mailing list in 2006 and don't have the catalog. It sounds above like @Aegis3 has it.
Found the Bowers and Merena auction date in the large PDF file of Martin Gengerke's American Numismatic Auctions:
coinbooks.org/resources/auctions.pdf
Someone from Stacks Bowers had once posted on here that these past auctions would all be available again at some point. The Bowers and Merena seemed to disappear around the time when they merged in 2011. The Stack sales and ANR sales were available until last year I think. Now none of those links work anymore as far as I can tell. Hope that is all eventually going to be restored.
