Older CNG catalogs

The auction house Classical Numismatic Group has an excellent web site with a good search engine that can be used to study over 300,000 coins and related objects that have appeared in their sales.

The searchable database begins with sale 60 (22 May 2002).

CNG sold many important coins before their 60th sale. Some of their old catalogs are for sale at CNG's own catalog site. They can also sometimes be found in book auctions. A brief index of the focus of each catalog can be found on Warren Esty's site.

Many people don't know that catalogs for sales 1-56 have been uploaded as searchable PDF files and are freely downloadable. I have created a simple list of direct links to the catalogs.
