This lot presents three historically significant auction catalogs from the early 20th century, cataloged by renowned numismatist B. Max Mehl. The catalogs offer detailed listings of two exceptional coin collections: the collection of Mr. B. W. Smith featuring rare United States and pioneer gold, silver, and copper coins, and the magnificent numismatic collection formed by the late Dr. G. F. E. Wilharm, encompassing American colonial, United States, and foreign coins, medals, and currency. These catalogs represent auctions held on May 25, 1915, and February 15, 1921, respectively, showcasing a plethora of coins from various eras and origins. The catalogs are complete, with no missing pages, and serve as a testament to the rich history of numismatics and the meticulous work of B. Max Mehl. Collectors and enthusiasts will appreciate the extensive documentation, historical insights, and the opportunity to own a piece of numismatic auction history.
