Woodward, W. Elliot. CATALOGUE OF COINS, MEDALS AND TOKENS, FRACTIONAL CURRENCY, NUMISMATIC BOOKS, COIN SALE CATALOGUES, ETC. THE ENTIRE COLLECTION OF MR. FERGUSON HAINES, OF BIDDEFORD, ME. New York, Oct. 13-16, 1880. 8vo, modern green cloth, gilt; original printed wraps bound in. 95, (1) pages; 2335 lots. Hand-priced in ink. Very good or better. An important sale, especially notable for Haines's early large cents (which included a Strawberry Leaf piece). Woodward takes the opportunity of having an 1802 half dime to go on a verbal rampage against unethical practices at the Mint, writing that one can purchase an 1802 half dime and feel comfortable about it, but that purchasers of an 1804 dollar can never tell for sure that Mint personnel won't dump several more on the market). Adams 32 (rated A for large cents, colonials, early silver and comments, and A- overall).
