Auctioneer’s note: This sale consists of the contents of 3 Maine estates inc.: hoards of coins still being liquidated from the estate of the renowned, late Capt. Terry Lewis of Boothbay Hrb., Me. Two huge safety deposit boxes from two other estates, one of which was so heavy and full, two men could not carry it. Plus other selected additions from local homes & collections. This sale will turn out to be one of the biggest estate coin sales in Maine this year, and by far our best yet (over 10,000 coins). Hope you’ll plan to join us for this rare buying opportunity for fresh goods, being sold unreserved, at public auction. Bob.
