A nearly complete set of sometimes inconsistently numbered NFA coin sales. All three Garrett Collection catalogues, issued jointly with Bank Leu, are present. Numismatic Fine Arts was one of the top-tier numismatic firms of its time, handing a remarkable number of the finest ancient coins available. The story of its decline has been told elsewhere, most notably in principal Bruce McNall's autobiographical Fun White It Lasted.
