da Cunha's rare 1884 work on Indo-Portuguese Numismatics,
annotated and extra-illustrated; an extensive collection of Lyman
Low auction sale catalogues; plated Chapman brother catalogues;
Raphael's Thian's 1876 Confederate Note Album; a fine selection
of 19th century German coin dealer Adolph Weyl's catalogues
featuring American coins; a fine example of Alföldi's extremely
