<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4124779, member: 19463"]This is just an opinion: If you have been a regular customer of anyone for thirty years and have purchased a few hundred coins not to mention being underbidder of a few hundred more (thereby driving up the price for the winner), any dealer might just be willing to do you a little favor like this. Like I said, I do not know if Frank has kept a complete set of his catalogs or not but if you know when you bought the coin, it might not be considered too much a bother to look at that listing. In the days before photos, I considered Frank special because I could tell more about a coin from his words than from the lousy photos some dealers used. It would be educational to read the listing from 1990. I do wish I had kept separately every catalog from every dealer from which I bought coins over the years. Hindsight is 20/20. I did not keep Frank's catalogs because they had no photos. I have the illustrated ones from that period and sometimes enjoy looking at them and seeing some coins that still are not worth what they cost back then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
