BIDDING IN OUR MAILBID SALE   (back to top)

We will stop taking bids at 9:00 PM on June 5th or when our phone and/or Fax stops ringing for 10 minutes. Please do not wait until the last minute and get shut out. In every sale a number of bidders could not get through on the last night.

We suggest you bid above estimate if you want an item as high bids will be reduced. Our bid sheets offer several bidding options that can save you money, optimize your bids and see that you get the lots that you really want. If you are unsure of how to use these options, please give us a call and we will be more than happy to explain them to you.

Please keep in mind that in some cases there may be unpublished reserves set either by the consignor or the cataloger and no bids of less than 60% of estimate are considered. We do not have a call back service, but after placing your bid you may contact us as many times as you like to check on your bids. And we take seriously the commitment to reduce bids. We do not reveal the high bid of any lot, but if you have placed a bid on a lot, you may contact us after your bid has been placed and we will tell you if you are the high bidder.

Usually well over 1/3 of all successful bids are reduced and over 75% of successful bidders have at least one of their winning bids reduced. We believe that the best strategy to being a successful bidder is placing your bids early and not waiting until the last minute.

Please keep in mind that we can not guarantee who is the last bidder. If someone calls us at 9 PM, the sale will continue for at least 10 minutes after that call is completed. If someone else calls us during that 10 minutes, the sale continues for another 10 minutes. And so on.

---

NO BUYER'S FEE   (back to top)

There has been quite a bit of discussion lately about companies that charge what some say are excessive buyer's fees. We do not charge a buyer's fees in our sales. You are charged only for the amount of your winning bid, postage and shipping charges. If you want the convenience of using your credit card we charge you a small fee to use that to help cover our costs.

LOT VIEWING SCHEDULE   (back to top)

DENVER COIN EXPO. May 15-18, National Western Complex, "Expo Hall", I-70 and Brighton Blvd., Denver CO. Thursday May 15th is dealer set up day. Public hours are Friday and Saturday 10 AM to 6 PM and Sunday 10 AM to 3 PM. We will have most lots in the sale available for viewing at our bourse tables during all show hours. There are some bulk lots which we will bring only if specifically asked to. Please contact us prior to the show to ensure that we bring the lots you want to see. We may bring some lots to the Denver Coin Club meeting on Thursday May 29th but at this time our plans are in flux for that week.

We plan to have the majority of the material in the sale in our office Monday through Friday beginning May 12th except for the show dates mentioned above, until the close of the sale if you need more detailed description of any of the lots. However, please contact us as well in advance of the close of the sale as possible in order that we can provide you with as much information as possible. We will be happy to return your call if we cannot provide you with the information you require when you call, fax or email.

We will confirm all email bids received within 24 hours of receiving the bid. If you do not receive a confirmation please contact us. We have been deluged by spam as I'm sure many of you have also. Even though our filter separates most of the junk from the "real" mail, it does not do a perfect job, thus we ask that when sending us a bid or inquiring about the sale, please put "Bid" or "Mailbid Sale" or "Auction" in the subject line so we do not delete your email along with the junk we receive every day. We donot confirm mail or fax bids unless specifically asked to do so. Please write clearly on your bid sheet. If possible in addition to the lot # and your maximum bid a small description is most helpful.

No information will be available about the results of the sale until all bids have been checked and invoices written. This should take about 4 days. We will not be answering the phone until that information is ready. We hope to be ready by Monday June 9th or Tuesday June 10th at the very latest.

Please note that this entire catalog is also up on our website at www.rosenblumcoins.com. There you will find not only everything in this catalog, but also color images of all lots pictured. If the images are not up on our site when you receive this catalog they should be soon.

HIGHLIGHTS OF AUCTION 38C   (back to top)

The sale is highlighted by selections from three well known collectors: Bob Schonwalter, Guido Kisch and Dr. Aubrey Joffe. These collections form the backbone of the extensive listing of Judaic related medals as well as paper currency and tokens. Overall there are 25 consignors from every part of the United States as well as Europe and Israel. In recent years we've tried (not always successfully) to limit the number of lots in each sale to less than 1000.

Our offering of ancient coins while small in number should not be overlooked. The Jewish section contains numerous high grade Yehud coins as well as better Bar Kochba, Herodian and City Coins as well as an elusive Half Shekel of the First Revolt. The Greek listing features better Italian silver coins and a Olynthos Chaldician League Tetradrachm. The Roman section contains what is probably the most diverse offering of Judaea Capta and Jewish reference coins, most from a New England collection, that we've ever offered. This is highlighted by a rare fisci ivdaici Sestertius of Nerva and an elusive Titus IVD CAP Sestertius of Thrace. Ancients are finished off with a rare Half Drachm of Antinous (a favorite of Hadrian) as well as a Constantine IX silver Miliarsion.

Our small numismatic literature section contains all six volumes of the Encyclopedia of Chinese Coins by Arthur Coole. Among the more interesting world coin lots being offered are two early four Reales of Carlos and Johanna struck in Mexico City, a 1914 Mexican Horse Peso, 5 extremely rare Israeli Prutas in Proof, the largest selection of slabbed Palestine coins we've ever offered, numerous rare and important medals including several early 20th century US pieces, three rare British condor tokens and three rare Litzmannstadt Ghetto coins struck in silver that were purchased by Bob Schonwalter in 1954! There was simply not enough gold coins in this auction to warrant a gold section on it's own, so they are interspersed in the catalog. The gold coins and medals in this sale are Lots 151, 157, 263, 272, 274, 377-378, 729-730, 811, 815, 823-824 and 830.

The highlight of the world paper section is no doubt the complete set of Anglo-Palestine Provisional notes of 1948. We haven't offered a set in eight years and this was missing from the recent Sami Assouline auction. The Israeli paper section also has for sale numerous examples of high grade early notes from Israel as well as lots containing different series letters and runs of consecutive serial numbers. While the listing of concentration camp material is less than in some previous auctions we do offer a high grade note from Flossenburg, rare denominations of Nordhausen and Amesfoort notes and a rare lottery ticket from Litzmannstadt. In addition there are numerous high grade and rare proofs, color trials and specimens from around the world. And we would be remiss not to mention a small group of Palestine notes that have been sitting in a bank vault for the past 30+years.

We think that our Judaic and Holy Land medal section is the best and largest we've every had. We ran out of ways to say, first we've had, first we can recall having or haven't offered one in many, many years. Many of these items came from the collections of Bob Schonwalter and Guido Kisch. Items from Aubrey Joffe's collection are also interspersed throughout this catalog and others will be forthcoming in next year or so. Usually we feel fortunate to have perhaps 10 to 20 medals issued prior to 1900. In this sale there are about 50 pieces and this does not include pieces listed in Part One of this sale such as the 4 Jewish related British tokens of the late 18th and early 19th centuries as well as an early 19th century British medal concerning the 1799 Siege of Acre. These medals portray many of the more important Jews and their synagogues of pre-20th century Europe.

The 20th century has not been forgotten either as numerous medals from the past century (and a few from this!) are being offered and many are also scarce and seldom offered. The State of Israel medal section contains the best and most complete offering of the early silver medals that we have ever offered. Not only are the medals being offered individually, buyers will also have the opportunity to purchase complete runs of these medals. I can't recall them ever being offered like that in any auction anywhere!

The offerings of paper items of Judaic and Holy Land interest are no doubt highlighted by runs of small change tokens of Palestine and Israel bus lines in the 1940's and early 1950's as well as the best selection of Cooperative tokens we've ever had the pleasure of offering for sale. Actually in many cases we haven't even seen these tokens before! Many of them are the plate specimens from Judaic Tokens and Medals by Sylvia Haffner. In retrospect we think our estimates on these is very low but there are no price records to research.

As usual our sale concludes with a selection of Holocaust memorabilia. Included are 3 lots of rare items having to do with the Judenrat of Amsterdam. In addition there are listings of concentration camp and Ghetto notes and tokens as well as Holocaust related medals in other sections of the catalog.

Prof. Guido Kisch (1889-1985) was Professor of Jurisprudence and the History of Law at the Universities of Koenigsberg, Prague and Halle before emigrating to the United States in 1935. He continued his academic career in New York until after the Second World War when he returned to Basel, Switzerland. In December of 2007 the ANS acquired his collection of medals relating to the Law. His brother Bruno was a medical authority and Jewish scholar and like his brother a numismatist as well. His "Shekel Medals and False Shekel's" is still the pre-eminent work of it's kind.

Bob Schonwalter was New Jersey businessmen and collector He passed away about 9 years ago and various parts of his vast collection have been sold since then. We are fortunate to be able to offer some of his rare medals and tokens in this sale.

Aubrey Joffe was a major figure in Israel numismatics in the 1960's and early 1970's as a collector and researcher. He basically "disappeared" from the numismatic scene in the mid 1970's to pursue other opportunities. At the moment his projects include building hospitals in Africa and other places where the need for them is most urgent.

If you have any questions about any of the lots, please don't hesitate to ask us.
