F.C.C. Boyd's Deluxe Leatherbound Copy
Schulman, Hans M.F., and Hans Holzer. THE COIN COLLECTORS' ALMANAC... WITH CONTRIBUTIONS BY LEADING EXPERTS. New York, 1946. 8vo, original brown quarter baby calf, gilt. (6), 372 pages; text illustrations. Fine. Special Leatherbound Presentation Edition. F.C.C. BOYD stamped in gilt at the base of the upper cover; inscribed in blue ink on the front flyleaf: "To Mr. F.C.C. Boyd with many thanks for his friendship and interest. A very merry Xmas and a Happy New Year. Sincerely, (signed) Hans Schulman, New York, Xmas 1946." The only such example we have ever encountered. Apparently published in a substantial trade edition, in several different colors of cloth, the work itself is an interesting if unusual general work, boasting an Editorial Board of Howard D. Gibbs, Frank J. Katen, Abe Kosoff, Robert I. Nesmith, and others, and reflective of the unique attributes of its authors. Living up to its title, it provides information on an amazing range of numismatic topics, and is still of interest today. Ex John J. Ford, Jr. Library (Kolbe Sale 93), lot 837.
(Estimate: $200)
