Collection Detail

Rogers M. Fred, Jr. was a born collector. By the time he graduated high school in the early 1940s, he had advanced collections of comics, Life magazines, Big Little Books, 78RPM records, and pattern coins. His coin collection started when he was a lad when he would go to the Washington, D.C. Treasury and buy brand new silver dollars. This collection garnered world acclaim as one of the premiere pattern coin collections ever to be assembled. Rogers always strived to acquire the rarest and best condition. His BLB and related materials collection is comprised of only the best – a complete Whitman File Copy set originally owned by Don Vernon, file copies from the Malcolm Willets Collection, and many other rare books. With this auction we offer additional selections from his impressive collection.
