This catalogue details a significant collection of American coins and medals from 1860, featuring exceptionally rare specimens. The collection includes notable items such as the 1796 Half Dollar, various rare pattern dollars and pieces from 1791 and 1792, and other scarce Washington-related coinage, all described as being in splendid condition. It also incorporates a select group of foreign gold, silver, and copper coins, medals, and a particularly rare proof set of silver and cent coins, some noted as uncirculated or nearly proof quality.
This catalogue is a historical document for numismatists and collectors interested in early American coinage. The detailed descriptions and emphasis on rare specimens, particularly the 1796 Half Dollar and pattern pieces, indicate its value to those studying or acquiring such items. The inclusion of foreign coins and medals suggests a broader scope for collectors of that era. The publisher's note about replicating the original format highlights its importance as a historical artifact in itself.
