Thomas Lindsay Elder was one of the most prolific cataloguers in American numismatics, with 292 numbered sales to his credit, per Martin Gengerke. His auction catalogs cover the period 1903-1940, and Elder's torrid pace was matched only by his terse descriptions. Elder's ecomony of words once reduced an otherwise desirable 1907 high-relief Saint to three words: "kind won't stack." Despite the brevity, John Adams gives the Elder catalogs high marks for breadth and quality of material.

The Newman Portal has digitized the entire series, less a few stray issues. Many thanks to scanner John Graffeo (Internet Archive staffonsite at the American Numismatic Society) for patiently working through this extensive run. With the addition of a group of plated Elder catalogs,and Elder sale addenda previously loaned by Dan Hamelberg, this online collection will be a useful adjunct to the series descriptions by MartinGengerke and John Adams.
