Book Description

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Superb Collection of United States Silver and Copper Coins Formed by Mr. H. O. Granberg, Oshkosh, Wisconsin: The Extremely Rare Varieties of 1836, 1838 and 1839 Dollars, Also 1851, 1852 and 1858; Trade Dollar of 1884; 1796 Half Dollar in Proof; Quarter Dollars of 1796 Proof, 1804 Extremely Fine, and 1823, Proof Dimes of 1796-Choice 1804 Lesher Dollars It is interesting to observe that but a very small proportion of the W'orld's finest collections, whether of numismatics or subjects of art, are perpetuated. Collections that required a life-time to form and represented the most diligent application and interest, are invariably broken up - and rightly so - again giving to those who appreciate them, the same genuine pleasures in the acquiring as was enjoyed by the former owner.
