The special hardcover edition of a classic sale of American numismatic literature, number 8 of 50 copies thus bound. The sale included extremely important correspondence pertaining to U.S. large cents, which brought very strong prices. One of two hardcover editions prepared for this sale, both of which incorporate a token Kolbe had made featuring his logo (as do some softcovers). A very attractive production, featuring different card covers than the regular softcover edition: as the regular covers proved too dark to make the illustration adequately stand out, white card covers were used instead when preparing these hardcovers.
