Scott & Company. NUMISMATIC AUCTION CATALOGUES. New York, 1877-94. Twenty catalogues, being Adams: 1-3, 6-10, 15, 16, 22, 23, 26, 27, 29, 30 and 32-35. Eleven are hand-priced in ink. All 8vo, original printed wraps. Some with text illustrations. Generally very good to fine, with one exception. A solid group of catalogues, more than half of them priced. Though the Scott company would become much more firmly connected with stamps than with coins, it was an important presence in the American numismatic scene in the late 19th century, employing David I. Proskey and Lyman H. Low at various times: two of the finest numismatists of their day.
