One of the greatest rarities of American numismatic literature. I looked for years and never found one I could afford for my library. A great opportunity. -Editor To read the complete lot description, see:    Ormsby's Magnificent 1852 work on American bank note engraving, lot 15368, is exceptionally well illustrated and is the most desirable volume ever published on the subject. Ormsby was the proprietor of the New York Bank Note Company and one of the founders of the Continental Bank Note Company, and his insights into the topics covered are unparallelled. The Ormsby isn't quite as rare, but it's still a prize for any American numismatic library. -Editor To read the complete lot description, see:
