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 black half calf; spine with five raised bands, lettered in gilt; two red spine labels, gilt; original printed rear wrap bound in. 95, (1) pages; 2335 lots; 1 heliotype plate, mounted. Hand-priced in ink. Near fine. 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). Ex Dennis Mendelson library (Kolbe Sale 52, lot 168).
