The important 1863 printing of Edward Cogan's first sale. As Adams explains (page 18), "The first four sales in the Cogan series are not catalogs in the standard sense; rather they are later... reprints from single manuscripts available in Cogan's store. Local patrons used this list to scout for coins of their choice; bids in these cases were submitted in sealed envelopes which were all then opened on the appointed day." Attinelli 13. The second item is a very useful reprint of these rare catalogues, originals of which are virtually unobtainable. Ex Jim Neiswinter Library.
