I miss getting auction catalogs... At what point did auction houses stop sending out free ones ? I just remember I use to get a ton of them 10-12 yrs ago and then nothing.

 

None-the-less a big thank you to James for the offer of the Scotsman catalog. There is a definite new auction catalog smell when you open one up and start reading through the descriptions. It almost requires you to be seated in an old comfortable leather chair next to a fireplace sipping on a good scotch or cognac as you flip through the pages.

 

And to keep it coin related...

 

Love the description of these coins... lol

 

NGC notes "cleaning" for each, but in no case are the signs obvious. Indeed, any one (or more) of these might well get certified at "another" grading service, if you know what I mean. Included are 1927-D (cleaning? ha, where, INSIDE the coin?), 1928-S (wispy hairlines mostly horizontal across the cheek), 1934-D (perhaps very slightly bright and very slightly glossy with a few stray hairlines in and above the date area), and a second 1934-D (light hairlines that Scotsman has dated to August 13 1936 through the use of exclusive Polonium half-life-dating technology). Perhaps we should include a free hammer with this four coin lot.

I have to agree that the catalog is just absolutely amazing. Yes... the smell of a good coin catalog just does something for me! :)

I still get free ones from The Goldbergs, and from DNW. Stacks was the one that mystified me. I couldn't get catalogs out of them even when I offered to pay for them.

Several years ago, I would receive the semi-annual catalogs, and I had fun trying to guess which descriptions were written by James. I always liked that he didn't pull any punches in his descriptions. He always called it as he saw it.
