Classical Numismatic Group of Lancaster, Pennsylvania and London, England is proud to present Electronic Auction 371, a special e-sale featuring a broad selection of 1387 book and antiquity lots, opening on 9 March 2016 and closing on 23 March 2016. A vast array of numismatic books and catalogs will be presented from the libraries of Dr. Lawrence A. Adams, J. S. Wagner, J. Eric Engstrom, Dr. Will Gordon, as well as selections from the library of an American ancient coin dealer, and auction catalog and fixed price list duplicates from the American Numismatic Society.

CNG E-Sale 371 contains 994 lots representing approximately 2500 books and auction catalogs, with the primary focus being on ancient, medieval, and world numismatic literature. Titles range from antiquarian to the latest editions of numismatic scholarship.

The American Numismatic Society's Harry Bass Jr. Library holdings include an almost complete collection of historic auction catalogues. Over the last few years, the ANS has continued to catalogue all of its holdings in the John Adams Rare Book Room, including many duplicate copies of older pre-1945 catalogues. Over the next couple of years, the Society plans to sell its duplicates of hundreds of rare auction catalogues and other duplicate numismatic literature. Curatorial staff used many of the duplicate copies while they were employed at the Society. It is also likely that the ANS Library received gifts from prominent German dealers, as many of the copies are fully annotated with prices. Such auction catalogues are essential for any serious research library, as they allow detailed investigations into the provenance and prices of coins. The Society's first offering of historic auction catalogues will be in CNG E- Sale 371. All proceeds from this sale will benefit the Society's library acquisition
