Elder's First Plated Sale
Elder, Thomas L. CATALOGUE OF THE THIRTEENTH PUBLIC AUCTION SALE OF COINS, WAR MEDALS, JACKSON TOKENS, PAPER MONEY, FOREIGN AND UNITED STATES GOLD, ETC. THE PROPERTIES OF J.N.T. LEVICK, MRS. MINNIE HIRSCH, E.S. SELEE, AND OTHERS. New York: Daniel R. Kennedy, October 14–15, 1907. 4to, modern brown antiqued half calf with black linen sides; spine ruled and dated in gilt; black spine labels, gilt; original gilt-printed card covers bound in. 122, (2) pages; 1992 lots; 3 fine tinted photographic plates. Entire catalogue was lightly damp-stained long before binding, though it remains perfectly usable and is not damaged; plates slightly wrinkled with slight browning. Very good or so in a new binding. Adams 13. A handsomely bound copy of Elder's first plated sale. He proclaimed it to be "the finest and largest sale that I have yet held." Adams concurs, with this catalogue being the first of many Elder sales to be awarded an A rating. The sale featured Levick's notable collection of Jackson tokens ("probably the finest ... ever offered"), some of which are depicted on the plates. Also included were rare Bechtler and other pioneer gold coins, along with many rare United States coins in various series. Beyond Jackson tokens, the plates depict rare United States silver coins, patterns, choice cents and half cents, pioneer and United States gold coins, a few ancient and European rarities, etc. Davis 347. Fanning, Ancient Coins in Early American Auctions, 24. Ex P. Scott Rubin Library (since bound).
