<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3511879, member: 19463"]I do have the catalog. It is about as one might expect from many dealers but few of te coins were up to the standards of NFA sales. Many coins were sold in large lots and only a few of them were illustrated in part. The disappointing part was that the envelopes were not illustrated but no dealer in his right mind would have done any more than NFA did for this collection. I might point out that my collection is almost that size and overall content but no dealer today wants so many F-VF coins and large lots today are at best shown as a pile of coins. I liked NFA as a coin source. I have sold almost none of the coins I got from them. I deeply regret that we lost them to criminal activity and ventures like horses and hockey players that had nothing to do with the coins. If I were to be required to send my coin catalog collection to the recycle bin, their books would be among the last to go. I know there are companies with more spectacular offerings but NFA had more coins that I wanted and could hope to own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
