SEPCIAL post-TUCSON AUCTION Ends March 12, 2015

A special auction set filled with some premium classics and old treasures from several recent collection acquisitions, many of which we could have taken to our 50-foot-long booth at the Tucson main show for sale as usual. Instead, they are up for auction for our web customers! There is a great mix featuring specimens from many collections we've purchased, and assorted pieces from new finds and classic localities
