Strobridge, William H. CATALOGUE OF THE STENZ COLLECTION OF MODERN COINS, MEDALS, AND TOKENS, THE MOST EXTENSIVE EVER PUBLISHED IN AMERICA. New York: Leavitt, May 17, 1875 and following. 8vo, original printed wraps. viii, 236 pages; 3871 lots. Wraps a bit worn; spine taped; very good or better. One of the great sales in the Strobridge series, termed by Attinelli “a work of the greatest importance and utility to the American collector seeking information relative to the branch of coins principally treated upon.” Tragically, Adams notes, “Strobridge’s labours on the monumental Stenz collection caused him to lose most and, ultimately, all of his eyesight. His malady, detached retinas, is repaired routinely by modern medicine.” Adams A+: “Charles I 1642-44 shilling. Louis XVIII 5 inch medal. 1849 Mormon $5. MS 1804 25¢. RR Jackson medals. Superb German.” Attinelli 73.
