Glendining and Co., Ltd. CATALOGUE OF THE PELTZER COLLECTION OF AMERICAN COINS. June 20-24, 1927. 1-1391 Lots. 8vo. This auction sale catalog includes the incredible collection of Richard F. Peltzer which arose from his connection with the Hamburg-America Line. Without exception it is the largest collection of such coins which has ever been auctioned and compares very favourably with the Fonrobert Collection, surpassing it notably in the large number of gold coins which it contains. The collector was particularly interested in the coins of Mexico, and, had his life not been so suddenly cut short, he was aiming to bring together as complete a series as was humanly possible. No trouble was too great when it was a question of sorting out a date or checking a mint-mark, and the specialist will find, more especially in the Central and South American portions, all those odd little pieces for which he has been searching. Includes many choice rarities from Central and South America and the West Indies. 14 high-quality sepia-colored coin plates, chipping and wear along the spine. Lot weight: 0 lbs 14oz. Subject(s): Mexican, Latin American, West Indies coinage.
