SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 2010 PREFACE Scattered among the following pages are various contributions written by friends of the Stacks. They capture the essence of a family and a firm that has been at the forefront of American and international coin collecting circles for over seven decades. There is little your cataloguer can add beyond a heartfelt thank you to Harvey, Larry, and Susan Stack for their friendship over many years and for their unflag- ging support of the numismatic printed word. The catalogue in your hands is better than it otherwise would have been due to the input of any number of people. Heading the list is Harvey Stack, who was of invaluable assistance in its prepara- tion. The Colonel Green collection records were organized by Harvey and were accompanied by many valuable observations and notes. Harvey and Susan Stack also sorted through old Stack’s photographs and sent a fine selection, many of which are depicted in the present catalogue. David Fanning and Joel Orosz read through the catalogue. Both made helpful corrections and suggestions, as did Scott Rubin. Bill Anton’s wonderful reminiscences cover a half century of Ameri- can numismatic history. John Dannreuther’s contribution is short but sweet. Mike Hodder, in a very thoughtful manner, adds much to the story of the present generation Stacks. Frank Campbell has a distinct perspective, zeroing in on books and other publications issued by the firm. And Scott Rubin has written an extensive overview of Stack’s auction sale catalogues. Four hundred highlights from the library formed by the Stacks over seven decades follow. Some are unique; all are desirable. There is no other American library quite like it. Considering such factors, a number of the estimates are tentative. Many lots will surely sell beyond suggested levels. A second auction featuring the balance of the library is currently planned for Spring 2010. Welcome to the sale.
