Chapman, Henry. COLLECTION OF AMERICAN COINS OF THE LATE W.B. GUY, ESQ. Philadelphia, Nov. 3-4, 1911. 8vo, original gilt-printed white paper covers. iv, 79, (1) pages; 1301 lots. Hand-priced in pencil throughout, with names added later for the half cents and large cents. Very good. Adams A-: "Carolina 1/2¢. Excellent variety collections: Mass., Conn., Vt., N.J., Fugios, cents (especially 1794), 1 / 2¢." A scarce and important catalogue. In the preface, Chapman observed: "The late W.B. Guy has been favorably known to American collectors and dealers for many years as a close student in die varieties of the American colonial coins, United States cents and half cents... To any one who has sought examples of the different dies in the Colonial and state coins, in the U. S. cents and 1/2 cents, it must be readily apparent what an opportunity this is."
