Inherited 26 1865 New York Herald Lincoln Assassination Newspapers

[historybuff22]

You have a truly wonderful archive! I have been collecting Lincoln assassination relics for 48 years now and have about 300 different Lincoln assassination newspapers - April 15 through July 8, 1865. While mostly Union, I have managed to obtain about a dozen Confederate.

I also collect the 4/15/1865 New York Herald reprints. So far i have documented 53 different versions of reprints for this title. For an atlas showing about 30 different versions, go here: http://www.historybuff.com/newspapers/assassination

Collector value for your archive ranges from $5,000-$8000 depending on which 2 editions your April 15 issues are: 2 AM, 3 AM are the most common. Rarest are 8:30 AM, 1:00 PM and 3:30 PM. The two 10:00 AM are the "inbetween" value.
