Colonel Green (Edward H.r. Green) Coin Collection Inventory

I can maybe help with an idea if you need or want that french transcribed to english. Schools that off er a masters degree in French require students to translate Pages of Frnech to English, I'm talking they have to picl a book, and get it approved. You could make copies, and find a compassionate french proff who is also a collector? and get it for free. ?

I have cataloged and inventoried before, perhaps you have too,but in case.....Post it notes. and plenty of'em. also star with a composition book. and those post-its make great tabs at the tops of pages. AND you can color code things Plus, Plastic bins and boxes, I use the dollar stoe and big lots.
May I also suggest, you probably already know this but, resist the temptation to delve in to soon. Get organised first, or you'll make 5 times the work.
I once collaborated on a policy and procedure Manuel for a start- up open heart post-op unit. The care plans alone were staggering.Good luck! To me, it sounds like good fun!

You hit a 500-foot grand slam.

For anyone interested - The Green Coin Collection Inventory and most of George Perkins personal notebooks and correspondence will be auctioned by Kolbe and Fanning in their January 7th NY sale. The copy of the inventory from this collection is actually superior to the one from the John Ford collection because it includes the notarized statement by Frederick CC Boyd which was missing from the Ford copy.

The stamp inventory from Col. Green did not bring as much as I had hoped in the December Siegel sale. They indicated it was incomplete. I have no idea what happened to the rest of it. The stamped covers also did only fairly. The final price was about $5,000. I guess stamps are just doing very poorly right now.

So far the estate material has resulted in over $39,100 in sales (about half from the dumpster) and I estimated that $25-35k remains in the rest of the consignments that are still pending. The best single item to date was an auction catalog that brought a sale price of $2,300.

Not bad for dumpster diving.

flemingiv As far as material related to Ned and his mother and his grandmother - all of that material was sold to the Old Dartmouth Historical Society. There was not really that much related to the Greens at all that was not previously well documented.

The entire coin collection has been sold with the exception of a dozen Colonial coppers. So far offers on those items have been too low to accept. I decided to get the better examples encapsulated and attributed to George Perkins. I will see how they do then. If I can not get my estimates I may buy them all myself out of my commission on the books. The market has to improve sometime.

Good luck in your quest.



to the CCF!
