Happy New Year!!
Welcome to Mail bid #74. This is the first of three for
2008. The other two are scheduled for May and September.
We will continue to place an asterick before-the items that
are pictured. Also, I will continue to give a range of what
I believe the item should sell for, and place a minimum on
every lot that is approximately 75% of the low range number.
Some of the highlights of this sale include a New Hampshire
Civil War I.D. tag, and a numbered Federal Civil War
campaign medal; several scarce and high-grade So-Called
Dollars; a near mint Harrison and Reform sulfide brooch;
an Indian $10 gold pendent; a large California natural gold
and quartz nugget; several U.S. Mint medals including an
early Life Saving medal; plus several multiple lots that
should generate bids in the $10 range.
Hopefully there will be something in the sale for you.
Bob Moffatt
Happy New Year!
