The Twining Sale, with Photographic Plate
Woodward, W. Elliot. CATALOGUE OF J.S. TWINING'S COLLECTION OF GOLD, SILVER AND COPPER AMERICAN COINS, WITH A LITTLE COLLECTION OF BRIC-A-BRAC, WASHINGTON PITCHERS AND JAPANESE CURIOS. New York, April 27-29, 1886. 8vo, later green cloth, gilt. 67, (1) pages; 1506 lots; 1 fine heliotype plate. Printed on thick paper. Hand-priced in ink. Fine. Adams 83, with plate. Rated A for colonials and tokens, B for large cents, proofs and early silver, and A- overall. Includes a Nova Constellatio "bit," which had previously been offered in Woodward's 73rd sale, but which did not there meet the $500 reserve. WEW states that he had declined an offer of $300 for the piece, which he probably regretted as it brought $275 here. The plate illustrates colonials (including a Gloriam Regni 5 sols and the "bit"), early large cents, a 1796 half cent, and half dimes (including an 1802). The last time we offered a copy of this plated sale (in our 2014 Sale 137), it was the subject of a fierce bidding war that saw it sell for $3000 hammer. Davis 1189. Ex Kolbe Sale 112, lot 353; ex Cardinal Collection Library.
(Estimate: $400)
