Complete Wilson's Month Rare Coin Bulletin
Wilson, Frank Casey. FRANK CAUSEY WILSON'S MONTHLY RARE COIN BULLETIN. Title varies. Volume I, No. 1 through Volume II, No. 3 (Chicago, February 1945 through March 1946). Fourteen monthly issues, complete. Varying formats, self-covered as issued. Earlier issues folded for mailing. Generally near fine. Bourne 1940-14. Starting off as a single sheet, by March 1946 the Bulletin had become a 32-page magazine. No further numbers are recorded by Bourne and apparently none were issued (though he mistakenly calls for 15 issues). Complete sets are rare and the early numbers appear to be particularly elusive. With the change to an octavo format in May 1945, Wilson began a series of brief numismatic biographies, including: Kenneth W. Lee, Frank J. Katen, M.A. Powills, Robert F. Wilson, Hans M.F. Schulman, C.B. Edwards, Herbert P. Meister, C.A. Brownell, Joseph French Maley, Whitman Publishing Company and Joseph M. Fruscione. Seven auction sales conducted by John H. Hansan also appear in the Bulletin. Gengerke 232. Ex M. Bourne Library.
(Estimate: $100)
