<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 3563181, member: 74282"]I don't believe there's any single catalog of the E.E. Clain-Stefanelli collection. There was a large handwritten notebook kept by the collector that was sold in a Kolbe and Fanning auction at NYINC 2018 but I don't know if the buyer plans to do anything to publish it. The underbidder is a member on this forum so perhaps he'll have more information. I haven't heard anything about it since the sale but I really do hope to see it again in some form one of these days.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as provenances, it is fairly normal for auction houses to list them but be unable to give more information. By simply listing a real person's name the auction house has done more than most. While some collectors keep tickets for all their coins many do not so you often have to trust the auction house's reputation. The auction house really has very little to gain here by making up a provenance like this so I'd be inclined to believe them in the absence of evidence to the contrary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
