Does anyone have any Max Mehl coins?

I wonder if there are any Max Mehl pedigreed coins slabbed out there?

Do you have any?

Have you ever seen any?

I have posted about this previously, but it has been quite some time since I did so. I own one coin that I will keep for as long as I live - a 1909-S Saint that B. Max Mehl, my grandmother's uncle, gave to her as a wedding gift. The date/year 1909 represented her birth year and the coin was accompanied by a handwritten note of congratulations on the envelope the coin came in.

hey Mark!
Great to see you here again

Thanks for the pics. What a cool family heirloom. Congrats!

This is my one Max Mehl coin. Karl Stecher bought it from a Max Mehl sale in 1939 for $4.25. Graded by Max Mehl as EF. Graded (a bit generously IMO) by PCGS in 2007 prior to sale by Heritage.

From an old Star Encyclopedia.

I had a B. Max Mehl catalog when I was a kid. About 1945-48.
I'd just found a '14-D Lincoln and he was offering 25 cents for one!
I thought I was rich.

joebb21 · November 22, 2009 11:01AM

wow in 1939 that 1843-o $2.5 sold for $4.25????

Along with several editions of The Star Coin Catalog, this came to me recently:

In the minutes of the Rochester Numismatic Association(New York) from around 1927, it is noted that B.Max Mehl, as a registered member of the R.N.A., attended a regular meeting at which he displayed five 1913 Liberty nickels.

Until I sold my set a few years ago, this was one of the centerpieces. MrEureka kindly provided me with the original B Max Mehl invoice to Amon Carter listing the coin

speety · November 22, 2009 11:23AM

TDN,
Mehl sure knew how to cook them, huh? Just kidding that piece is amazing! You have had some unbelievable coins through your hands.

Cool thread for sure!

Can't remember the date of this pubication from B. Max Mehl? I think it was the early 1900's and found it funny
how little the relationship between dealers and collectors hasn't changed in almost 100 years.

elwood · November 22, 2009 12:33PM

Here's one of two B. Max Mehl items I have.

Does anyone have any Max Mehl coins?
