Lot of 5 Foul Anchor Archives (Robert Nesmith) catalogs (and associated material) of the 1950s and 1960s offering treasure books and maps. Most about 15-1/2" x 12-1/2". The name Robert Nesmith is well known in the treasure community, or at least it was in the 1950s and 1960s when he was considered the foremost numismatic authority on treasure. He was a consultant to the Real Eight Co., for one thing, and he wrote the definitive treatise on Mexican Charles-Joanna coins and the book Dig for Pirate Treasure, among others. At the same time, he ran a company called Foul Anchor Archive and specialized in printing and distributing treasure maps and books, and these are some of his catalogs, typed on plain paper and stapled (in most cases), all in excellent condition. Shocking to see what some classics used to sell for new (Coffman's Atlas for $10, for example)!
