Kolbe & Fanning Numismatic Booksellers are pleased to announce that over 1400 lots of rare and desirable numismatic literature are featured in their Mail Bid Sale 122, closing on September 15, 2011. Particularly rich in rare and desirable works on American numismatics, the 112-page, 1401-lot catalogue also includes an extensive selection of interesting and elusive works on ancient, medieval and modern numismatics.

The sale starts off with a fine 485-lot consignment, the library of a coin dealer specializing in ancient and foreign coins. While it features many of the great multi-volume standard works on ancient coins and a number of classic works on that topic in excellent condition and from famous libraries, it is also quite diverse. Over twenty different consignments make up the balance of the sale. Among them are modern key works on Eastern European numismatics, classic works on Latin American coins, interesting photographic oddments from the Jack Collins archives, and important American numismatic works from the library of noted colonial coin collector, George C. Perkins.

Sale highlights include:
