Catalogues indicated with an asterisk include an original prices realized list (a number of others include photocopies of the PRL). All 8vo, original printed card covers. Generally very good or better, with a couple of exceptions. Adams 1-48. A consecutive run of these early sales, all of which are scarce and some of which are downright rare. Eight of the catalogues include original prices realized lists, which are rarer than the catalogues themselves. The early Stack's catalogues are more impressive than some might assume. They offered a wide variety of coins and medals from all times and places, with notable consignments of ancient, medieval and modern foreign coins supplementing the U.S. coins being auctioned. Material from the estate of David Proskey was offered in a few sales. Only the January 1939 sale (from this period) was published with a separate plate supplement, which is present in this copy. Includes Numbers 84-86 in Fanning's Ancient Coins in Early American Auctions. Ex Cardinal Collection Library.
