Fine. The regular hardbound editions of the four major Bass sales (Kolbe Sales 75, 77, 78, 80). The Harry Bass library was one of the finest ever formed on U.S. numismatics, and featured amazing rarities, often bearing impressive provenances and generally either unsophisticated or in contemporary bindings. These hardcover editions were available only to subscribers to Kolbe’s hardcovers, and hence are scarcer than the deluxe hardcover editions, with only 30 or so sets being issued.
