Ex Fred H. Borcherdt 4/2005-March Wells, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 2/1/2009:621-Walter J. Husak Collection.

A native of Grand Rapids, Michigan, March Wells, Jr., was born in 1928 and died in 2019. He began collecting Lincoln cents during his Illinois childhood. He spent most of his life in Kentucky. Wells developed an interest in large cents after purchasing some middle date pieces from John Ashby. Superior sold his middle date cents in February 2000, and Goldberg Auctions sod his early date cents in February 2009. Wells joined Early American Coppers in 1978 and served as the organization's president from 1999 to 2002.
From The Collections of Walter J. Husak and The Liberty Cap Foundation.
