[QUOTE="David Betts, post: 8189224, member: 110362"]Read this must see/read article Thurs. and then again Friday trying to grasp the severity that Eliashberg, Brann and Geo. Clapp with the help of Barber/Morgan have given us in the Numismatist/ coin collector World! The collections posted in rolodex type catalogs for thousands of collectors to see and cheerish as shown in the early 1950's ( of which I'm sure some in this room have seen in person)? The Bowers Auctions of Oct.27th, 28th, and 29th 1982 offer a look at the complete set that Eliashberg collected and magnificantly assembled for auction by his sons. I'm amazed that the Geo. Clapp collection bought in 1947 for $100,000 has escalated to Multi Millions today! But more astonishly is that Eliashberg's collection self proclaimed cost him $300,000 has grown to the billions today! A graph in the CW article by Rusty Goe depicts 19-1/2 eagles (1870cc-1893cc) sold for $49,198 now estimated at $828,500. ** Newsworthy This October is the 40th Anniversary of that historic auction, I for one will be really watching for articles of that! 50-60 years from now imagine what our grandkids will be reading? Enjoy! DB[/QUOTE]
