About This Item

New York: January 11-12, 1898. Tall 8vo, later tan cloth and marbled boards; handwritten spine label. 108, (2) pages; 1183 lots; 5 plates [2 halftones, 3 lithographic]; priced throughout in red. Previous owner's bookplate on pastedown; title page chipped; very good. Adams 37, with plates. Rated A+ overall, and A for medals, tokens, literature, comments, "Rest of Europe," and the Americas. Probably Low's most significant sale, and he held over 200. Of unquestioned importance to Mexican and Latin American numismatics, but also essential for store cards, early American (Betts) medals, and for the consignor's fine numismatic library. Many of these areas matched perfectly with Low's own interests, resulting in a very finely executed catalogue with much information to be found within. The two photographic plates are of good quality (though halftones), and the lithographs are also well-done. Davis 639.
