F.C.C. Boyd Inventory of Connecticut Coppers
Boyd, F.C.C. INVENTORY OF F.C.C. BOYD'S COLLECTION OF CONNECTICUT COPPERS. Undated (see comments). Written in Boyd's handwriting in ink and two colors of pencil on the rectos of 20 sheets of 24 by 15 cm ruled notepaper, 3-hole punched. Lists each variety of Connecticut copper as given by Miller plus a few additions, noting those in Boyd's collection at the time he compiled the listing (which is most of them). Also records the rarity of each variety. Very good to fine. F.C.C. Boyd's checklist of one of the finest collections of Connecticut coppers ever formed, one which drew upon the previous holdings of such numismatic luminaries as Hays, Hall, Brand and Ryder, and which was eventually sold as the John J. Ford, Jr. collection. While the notes cannot be dated with certainty, their resemblance to his notes on New Jersey coppers places them around the same time period (c. 1945). Ex David F. Fanning Numismatic Literature, Auction III, lot 168.
