    JOHN J. FORD LIBRARY SALE NOTES

    Phil Carrigan writes: "George Kolbe and staff conducted a
    magnificent sale including the warm hospitality provided at
    lot viewing. I found a bounty of information looking at lots
    I did not intend to buy! No one I've spoken to bought as
    much as they intended to buy at the sale. This includes
    bidders present, mail bidders and particularly, me!"

    [The sale realized $1.66 million. A front-page article by
    Dan Friedus in the June 21st issue of Coin World
    includes a nice photo of the auction room. Some more
    photos are available on the Kolbe web site: Auction Photo's
    -Editor]

    Ray Williams writes: "I don't know if it's been the experience
    of others on this newsletter, but I find that when I generally
    place a mail bid on numismatic items, and I'm the successful
    bidder, I usually pay the maximum amount that I bid.

    That was not the case with the Stack's/George Kolbe Ford
    Library Sale! I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised
    when I found out that I was successful in purchasing one lot
    that was important to me, and I received it for $1000 less
    than the maximum I had bid. There's enough complaining in
    the hobby - I just wanted to share something positive that
    happened to me."
