Februar 1878 und folgende Tage). Tall 8vo, later black cloth and boards, gilt. vi, 558 pages; 6205 lots; text illustrations. Fine. Important, and a well above-average copy of this fragile publication. This particular volume of the famous series of sales has never been reprinted, and lists in considerable detail Fonrobert’s important and extensive collection of over six thousand American and Canadian coins, medals and tokens from colonial to contemporary times. Still useful, particularly for tokens and medals. Clain-Stefanelli 11968. Grierson 212 and 312. Ex William Wrixon Leycester, with his bookplate on the blank opening of page iii.
