Nearly Complete Set of Pine Tree Sales
Pine Tree Auction Company [name varies]. NUMISMATIC AUCTION CATALOGUES. Various locations, 1973–1986. A nearly complete set of twenty-seven auction catalogues, comprising Gengerke 1–11, 13–22, 24, 26, 28–30 and 32 [see comments]. Varying formats. Seventeen catalogues have original prices realized lists (all but Sales 1, 4–5, 11, 13, 18, 22, 30 and 32). Generally fine or nearly so. A nearly complete set of this important series of sales, with superior cataloguing by the likes of Walter Breen and Jack Collins. This collection lacks six Gengerke numbers, but one of those (25) does not exist. Sale 23 is rare, while Sales 22 and 30 are both scarce (but both present). The first sale is rare enough to not be present in the ANS Library, but it is present here. Sales 1, 2, 13, 22 and 30 are present here in tabloid format, with 1, 13 and 30 being the Coin World printings. The tabloid sales as well as the mail-bid sales are especially scarce with prices realized lists. Pine Tree sales are surprisingly difficult to collect for a modern series, but the firm handled some fine collections and they are worth pursuing.
