Mormon $21/2. 1797 1/2¢ lettered edge." Adams 41 (Reimers et al.) featured an incredible series of 1794 cents nearly complete by Hays number (and including some not known to Frossard and Hays); important gold, patterns, siege pieces, etc. The final sale present is the well-known Nygren sale of pioneer gold coins, Adams B+ overall: "1864 gold proof set. 1880 $4. Reid $5, $2.50. Extensive RR territorial gold: Blake, Dubosq, Mass. & Cal., Kroll fractional." Davis 212. Ex Cardinal Collection Library.
