From the Shelves of Coin Galleries
Stack's. AUCTION SALE CATALOGUES. New York, 1960–1972. A non-consecutive group of seven bound volumes bringing together the fifty-one Stack's catalogues issued for: 1960, 1963, 1965, 1967–1969 and 1972. 8vo, contemporary red cloth, gilt; original printed or pictorial card covers bound in; prices realized lists bound in. Bindings sunned; contents fine or nearly so. An interesting group of bound volumes, each including a year's worth of Stack's catalogues, with prices realized list. Each year, Stack's would bind a few sets of their catalogues, primarily for internal use. This set belonged to Coin Galleries, and dwelt in their offices for quite some time. They received more than their share of sun in that office, but remain a nice set. An interesting side note (pointed out by Charles Davis) is that the 1960 Neumoyer sale, usually encountered in a spiral binding, is here bound in as signatures. Ex Davis Sale 21 (1991), lot 216–221 (through 1969).
