A complete set of the 24 volumes of the scarce hardcover edition of this encyclopedic series of Numismatic American History auction sale catalogues, documenting the fabled collection assembled by John Jay Ford, Jr. (The three follow-up sales held in 2013 are included along with the original 21 sale catalogues from 2003–2007.) The production values exhibited by the catalogues themselves are exceeded only by the depth of numismatic scholarship contained therein. They will long remain indispensable to scholars, collectors, and dealers interested in the truly fascinating world of American numismatics that lies beyond dates and mintmarks. Ex Syd Martin Library.
