Binding rubbed, but still sound. Near fine. An attractive volume featuring some important sales. Taking them in order, Strobridge's sale of the Seavey collection is notable for early federal coins, and is the post-sale priced edition (Adams 4, rated A overall and for half cents, early silver and U.S. gold in particular; Attinelli 31). The Cogan sale of the Zanoni and Bogert collections (in which Cogan was assisted by Strobridge and others) is notable for the inclusion of the printed letter from Cogan addressed to Charles Chaplin of Boston, announcing the sale (Adams 19, rated B for colonials and early silver; Attinelli 47). The scarce M. Thomas sale of the James B. Longacre collection is interesting primarily because of the owner of the coins, which included a number of patterns (Attinelli 55). The Clay sale is famous for its colonial pieces and large cents, as well as for its complete collection of the coinage of the Isle of Man (Adams 9 for the Strobridge series, C for the Woodward series, rated A+ overall and A in large cents, colonials, Washingtonia, comments and British; Attinelli 62). The plated copy of Cogan's catalogue of the Mendes Cohen collection is the star of this volume, of course. The plates depict colonials, a silver center cent, half cents, large cents, early U.S. gold and silver, and a few British pieces (Adams 44, rated A overall and for patterns, proofs, early silver, U.S. gold and British in particular; Attinelli 73; Davis 263). Haseltine's catalogue of pieces from the Mickley collection is more impressive for its title than its contents (Adams 36, B- overall). The 1880 Jenks sale by Woodward contains some strong colonial and U.S. content, including colonials attributed by Crosby number, which makes the catalogue much more useful to researchers today (Adams 31, B+ overall and for large cents, half cents, patterns and proofs in particular). The 1881 Jenks sale, unfortunately, is most famous for including the false Pescennius Niger aureus, which touched off something of an internecine war between Woodward and Frossard (Adams 34, rated A for ancients and British, B+ overall). A strong group of catalogues, with an important plated sale, all in a sound contemporary binding. Ex Fanning Sale I, lot 462. Ex Michael Spurlock library.
