Thumbnails from the Panczner Collection
Oct 14, 2020 - A selection of 3 dozen choice thumbnails from the award-winning thumbnail collection of Sharon and Bill Panczner. While Bill is known for his authorship of Minerals Of Mexico, still the most up to date location guide to Mexico Minerals, he was also a lifetime mineral collector and thumbnail connoisseur, particularly after he and Sharon married in the early 1960s and collected together. Here you can find selections from their award winning cases ( including Nationals, 1967, judged by Desautels and Pough and Ed Over, among others!), including some unusual items seldom seen for sale.
The collection has been packed and in storage, unseen since the 1990s. We are proud to premiere it here. For more on Bill: https://mineralogicalrecord.com/labels.asp?colid=841
