Kolbe & Fanning Numismatic Booksellers is the largest and longest currently active rare numismatic literature firm in the world. Established in 1967, our first mail-bid sale was held in 1976 and today we average four mail-bid or public auction sales per year. The firm is a member of the International Association of Professional Numismatists. While public auctions and mail-bid sales are an important part of our business, we also actively buy and sell rare numismatic literature directly and on our website at www.numislit.com. Our stock of rare numismatic books is among the largest in the world and we are always pleased to receive serious want lists.
