Buckley’s proposal to form the Pittsburgh Rare Coin Galleries. Generally fine or nearly so. An interesting assemblage of material either from Pittsburgh or related to it in one way or another. The 1935 ANA sale is rare, being one of only a few copies we have handled. While it would be nice to say that the contents were as exceptional as the catalogue’s rarity, this would perhaps not be entirely accurate. Still, an interesting memento of this Pittsburgh ANA convention. The first edition Shinkle with signed cover letter is pretty neat as well. The second binder here present includes interesting copies of several auction sales, generally of Pittsburgh-area consignors, most notable for Howard Gibbs’s personal copy, very heavily annotated, of his 1960 Schulman sale of counterstamped and siege coins of the British Isles.
