Minilist 21 - October 17, 2013
Finally after a long break working on our Fall Auction Catalog, we are publishing this late in the week Mini-List just so you all know that we are still in business. Only about 22 coins but none have been listed on any of our mini-lists. Or at least we don't think so.
We hope to be mailing our Auction 43B in the mail on Tuesday and it should be up on our website sometime next week as well. All our auction coins will be on display at our bourse table at the Denver Coin Show October 24-27.
