<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24887821, member: 26430&quot;]Okay, update on the collector. Some of the original Elder sale catalogs from the 1930s can be found Archive, and I&#039;ve seen coins for sale before that I thought I could ID from those old auctions, but never for certain because they don&#039;t have photos or weights given.</p><p><br /></p><p>But here is his entry from my &quot;provenance glossary&quot;:</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p><b>Reeve</b> (“Charles Reeve collection,” “Charles Reeve Collection, circa 1890-1930”) = Charles McCormick Reeve = Reeve, Charles McCormick (b. 8/7/1847 d. 6/24/1947) [<a href="https://archive.org/details/2012AmericanNumismaticBiographies/page/304/mode/1up" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://archive.org/details/2012AmericanNumismaticBiographies/page/304/mode/1up" rel="nofollow">Pete Smith, p. 304-5</a>]: Provenance in recent years primarily originating from Pegasi sales (then Agora, CNG, Album, others). Discussed in Pete Smith’s ANB and previous article. Collection sold at Elder in <a href="https://archive.org/details/publicauctionsal00elde_76/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://archive.org/details/publicauctionsal00elde_76/" rel="nofollow">1932</a>, 1934, 1937, 1939 (catalogs on Archive, perhaps there were more; only 1937, 1939 cited by Smith), though it’s often hard to determine which consignor belongs with which coins, and descriptions are absurdly thin (“Rhose drachm, this one only fair” [<i>sic</i>]). </p><p>“…son of Civil War General Isaac Reeve.”</p></blockquote><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
