Book Description

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Collection of American Coins and Medals of Captain Andrew C. Zabriskie, New York City Captain Andrew C. Zabriskie, ex-president of the American Numismatic Society of New York City, is probably one of the oldest, in point of years interested, collectors in the United States, and it was an honor to be commissioned by him to disperse his fine collection - and that at public auction to the highest bidder. In pursuance of this order I have endeavored to prepare a catalogue fairly describing the coins in the collection, setting forth their devices, condition of preservation and rarity, as it appears to me, and I trust those who favor the sale by their presence, or who buy through agents, will agree with me in the statements set forth.
