Book Description

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Extensive and Valuable James Ten Eyck Numismatic Collection of Rare Coins and Medals of the World: To Be Sold Without Reserve at Auction (All Bids by Mail) Tuesday, May 2, 1922 He always showed a great interest in the work of other collectors particularly the younger ones who like himself were deeply interested in numismatics and it it gratifying now to know that an opportunity is offered them to take from his collection valuable specimens and add them to their own. Mr. Ten Eyck's numismatic interest did not extend to the mint marks or die varieties. He was interested only in completing, the collection to represent the coinage of the United States - from its earliest Colonial period. How well he succeeded can best be attested by the numerous great rarities in the collection. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
