Photocopy prices realized list laid in. Very good or better. Adams 22. Scarce. The introductory text on the title verso offers "This catalogue, illustrated with three beautiful plates, showing the Unique Continental Currency Silver Dollar, Rare Colonials, U.S. Silver and Copper Coins, price 50 cents, postpaid." Though no such plated copy had been seen, this statement was taken at its word and the three plates duly noted by Adams in United States Numismatic Literature. A handwritten note in the firm's bidbook, discovered later, explains, however, that "The plates for this catalogue proved failures and were not issued but were all destroyed." Adams B+: "Maryland 6¢. Unique Continental $1. 1794 $1. 1827 25¢. 1802 5¢. Choice 1799 1¢." Ex Cardinal Collection Library.
