CHARLES DAVIS SALE CLOSES SEPTEMBER 12, 2015

Our next auction of numismatic literature, with a closing date of September 12, will posted on our www.Numisbook.com site shortly, and catalogues will be mailed this coming week. Highlights include Crosby’s Early Coins of America, unbound in its original 11 wrappers - the only such copy I can find being offered in at least 35 years (For the Crosby/Wester copy, all sections were laid into Part 1 only wrappers).

We also offer the Charles Horning collection of 130 Bangs catalogues and about 20 early plated American catalogues including many of the tough Chapmans - Henderson, Taylor-Windle, Bascomb & Brown, Alvord, Jenks, Sleicher, and two Stickneys. A 75 lot section of large cents is highlighted by Howard Newcomb’s annotated copy of his work of the Cents of 1816-1857 establishing that the book was in fact published before his death.

Lot 293: Crosby's Early Coin of America

The ancient and medieval section includes a fine offering of Greek including numerous early 20th century plated catalogues from Hirsch, Naville, Sothebys etc as well as standard references (Jenkins Gela, Grose McClean, original MFA Boston, and Schlumberger’s rare 1884 foundation work on Byzantine seals.) The British section includes a handsome priced and named Montagu, a finely bound sales room copy of the 1954 Farouk catalogue, and a set of Forrer’s Biographical Dictionary in the original Spink binding.
