The Civil War years were a heady time for coin collecting in the U.S., which Woodward alludes to in his introduction: "The proprietor is aware that he may labor under a disadvantage, in following so soon the sales of the splendid collections of Messrs. Haines, Smith, and Cogan; but hopes, on the contrary, that he may be benefited instead, by the impetus which has been given to collecting, by the sales referred to." Attinelli 29. Davis 1154. Ex Cardinal Collection Library.
