W. F. GREANY INFORMATION SOUGHT
Dave Hirt writes: "At the PAN show in Pittsburgh I purchased
a fixed price list issued by W.F. Greany in San Francisco,
dated 1888. Do any of our readers have more information
about Greany? I know that he was an advertiser in The
Numismatist in the 1890's."[Remy Bourne's "Fixed Price Lists & Prices Paid For Lists
of United States Coin Dealers 1850-1900 Volume I
Addendum" lists three publications by Greany: a 24-page
3rd Edition (1884?), a 4-page "Supplement to Catalogue"
(1887?) and a 48-page 5th Edition [no date listed]. The
3rd edition is illustrated in the book and it lists Greany's
address as 827 Brannan Street, San Francisco.A web search found one coin with a provenance to Greany:
an 1872-S half dime (lot 2104 in the Goldbergs' June 2002
Long beach sale): "From Bowers and Merena's Louis
Eliasberg Sale, May 1996, lot 1033; earlier from W. F.
Greany, February 1905 to the J.M. Clapp collection until
1942, then to the Eliasberg collection."
