PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING
Coins and medals are sold at so much per lot and no lot will be sepa- rated The auctioneer will accept an advance of 1 cent up to 50c., then 5c. np to $2.50, when 10c. advance must be bid, up to $10, when no advance under 25 cents will be accepted. You can bid anything up to 50c., after that the bid must be 55c., or 60c. Such offers as 51c., $1.01, etc., are unavailable.
Auction sales are strictly for cash. Parties unknown to me and bidding for the first time, must give bank or other reliable reference.
Forward your bids as early as possible, as thousands of bids have to be entered. Do not make ridiculously low bids, such as 10 and 15c. on foreign silver coins worth several times over as bullion. Write your bids plainly, with a pen if practicable. I have taken special pains to carefully and fairly describe each lot.
Where the number of pieces in a lot is not given after the description, there is but one piece in the lot.
The coins, etc., in each lot are different unless otherwise described.
Be sure you bid on the lot you wish to buy.
All coins, etc., are genuine unless otherwise described.
My charge for executing bids will be 5 per cent. No charge made for bidding except for lots actually purchased Remit by money order or New York draft, as the usual exchange fee will be deducted from checks.
We will price your catalogue for $1.25.

Lincoln Silver Medal, by J. E. Koine, published by J. P. Putnam’s Sons. 'This edition consisted of 100 silver med- als. wbicb were sold prior to issuing the book. They were largely taken by collector s of scarce editions, and a few were ordered by numismatists. The last copy of this book sold to a book collector for $32.50. This silver med- al is inserted in the volume and forms part of it, being the first union of a medal and a book. It is likely this book will continue to be of increased value, on account of its being wanted by book collectors.
