NBS Charity Auction Raises Funds for NBS Treasury

The NBS Charity Auction, an offering of 50 lots donated by club members, took place on August 9 at the ANA World's Fair of Money in Rosemont, IL. David Fanning wrote the auction sale catalog and called the sale. Printed copies of the catalog were on hand for attendees. Highlights included the Eric P. Newman library card catalog, donated by the Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society, which realized $1,600. A rare piece of early Bowersiana, a 1957 price paid for list, raised $650 for the NBS in active bidding. Dan Hamelberg donated this lot. David Steine contributed a plated Elder sale (1907), which sold for $650. A set of Out on a Limb, the highly entertaining house organ of The Money Tree, donated by Tom Harrison, brought $300. The sale realized a total of $7,885. NBS acknowledges both donors and bidders for their continued support.
