B. Max Mehl's sale of the Moore and Quade Collections, November 23, 1915. In keeping with many other sales of the era, prices were inconsistent. Note, for example, that a Nearly Fine 1878-CC brought more than a Fine, and a VG 1880-CC sold for nearly double the price of a Fine of the same issue. A VG 1882-CC at $6.00 eclipsed a VF 1882-CC at only $1.15. The offering emphasized mintmarks.
