Watch List notes:

Cogan, Edward. CATALOGUE OF A PRIVATE COLLECTION OF ROMAN, GREEK, ENGLISH, SCOTCH, AMERICAN, CANADIAN AND MISCELLANEOUS GOLD, SILVER, AND COPPER COINS AND MEDALS, ALSO, SEVERAL RARE NUMISMATIC BOOKS. New York: Bangs, April 3–5, 1871. Tall 8vo, original printed green paper covers. 73, (1) pages; 1758 lots; 1 fine photographic plate. Near fine. Adams 27. Only the third plated U.S. numismatic auction catalogue. Attinelli claimed that Cogan didn't actually catalogue it, ascribing this work to Alfred Sandham of Montreal, whom he also credits with being the owner. According to Fred Bowman, however, the owner was actually James Ferrier, the former mayor of Montreal. Bowman was close, but mistaken. In fact, as recently demonstrated by Ted Banning, the owner was James Ferrier, Jr., a son of Mayor Ferrier. The photographic plate shows a Breton 673 Montreal Bank Token Half Penny token, as well as nine ancient Greek and Roman coins and a few modern world coins. Rated B overall by Adams (A for British, B for ancients). Attinelli 58. Fanning, Ancient Coins in Early American Auctions, 23. Ex Cardinal Collection Library.
