PREFACE
On the eve of this important sale the cataloguers think themselves justified in calling the attention of all antiquarians and lovers of the fine arts to the advantages offered by the study of numismatics, and cor- dially iuvite all to examine the rarities of which this sale is composed, hoping that some of the scientists to whom these catalogues will be sent may be induced to take up the pursuit as an elegant and interesting re- creation from more profound studies. For the benefit of the curious we offer a fewr remarks on the different headings to be found in it.
The collection from which the rarities herein catalogued have been selected was formed by Mr. J. W. Scott during the course of many years, and comprised Some twenty thousand varieties which finally de- manded more time for its proper care than the owner had at his disposal; under these circumstances its sale at public auction was determined on, and so as not to waste the time of buyers it has been divided into sections, one of which will be offered each spring until the whole is disposed of.
Part First comprises the entire collection of American gold, together with the most valuable coins selected from the different series with the exception of the copper, all of which have been excluded except six pieces of great value, inserted at the special request of numismatic friends.
California Gold Parts of the Dollar. — These, although of no great value, are very interesting and rapidly becoming rare; they were included in the section so as to clear out all the American gold.
Gold Issues of Various States. — In this section the pieces offered are mostly very rare, but few being preserved when in circulation.
United States Gold. — Under this head will be found the most com- plete series ever offered at auction.
Gems From the American Series are certainly rightly named. It is doubtful if over twro collections in the country contain duplicates of any three of the pieces, and at least two are unique, and worth a small fortune. It is to be hoped they may be acquired by some public museum, or, at all events, kept from going out of the country to swell some of the national collections of Europe.
Decorations of Ordersof Knighthood. — This beautiful collection is certainly unequaled in America, andean be appreciated by all; the beautiful illustrations accompanying the catalogue will give collectors at a distance an opportunity of judging of their merit.
Ancient Greek. — This selection of large ancient pieces is not spec- ially remarkable, but would form a good nucleus of fine pieces tor a beginner, while the Hebrew coins will always commend themselves to intellectual people in any part of the world.
Roman Gold.— This choice little lot must be seen to be appreciated.
English and other Goj,d. — Here will be found examples of some of the earliest types of the mother country.
European Crowns and M pi.tipi.es. -This collection forms a metal- lic history and a gazetteer of Central Europe during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; no better school can be found than a caseol' such coin.
In conclusion, we beg to say that each piece will be sold to the high cst bidder without reserve, and as, with one exception, each piece is cata- logued separately, but few instructions to out of-town purchasers are needed. In consideration of there being scarcely any lots in the cata- logue worth less than $2.00 our commissions will be reduced to o for purchasing at this sale. On amounts over $500, 2k per cent., and on $1,000 and over, 1 per cent.
Every piece in the collection in warranted genuine and authentic. The coins will be on exhibition at the auction room on the day of the sale from 10 A. M. to 1 P. M. Special arrangements can be made to seethe collection privately, and any information will be gladly furnished by the cataloguer.

SIjP®
Sommer Islands Six pence, Hog, with Roman numeral VI above legend, sommek ii.ands; rev. ship sailing to right in beaded circle; copper but shows traces of having been plated when issued; small piece clipped from lower edge which would seem to he a peculiarity of the coin, as the other known specimen is similarly marked, otherwise in very good condition for the piece. Crosby in his great work says, “ The only known specimen of the Sixpence was found some twenty years since, in a garden upon one of the Bermuda Islands, (the island of St. George if we mistake not), and is now owned by Benjamin Betts, Es(|., of Brooklyn, N. Y. , through whose kindness our illustration of it is obtained.” We understand the piece has since been sold for $250.
XII pence, legend, sommkk islands, in condition about the
same as last. Of this piece Crosby says, “ But three of these pieces are known tous;” this was in 1HT5, but since that time the high value has induced energetic search, which has resulted in the discovery of perhaps three others. This coinage was undoubtedly the first money ever made for use in the new world, hut when or for whom the coinage was made we have no record. The earliest mention of these pieces is, “ Master Daniel Tucker arrived at the islands about, the middle of May, 1016, and he leaves it to be inferred that it was under the rule of this governor that, beside meat, drinke and clothes, they had for a time a cert ai no kinde of brasse money with a hogge on the one side, in memory of the abundance of hogges that was found at their first landing.”

THE CONFEDERATE HALF-DOLLAR.
108 1801 Half Dollar Confederate Shield with Liberty cap above, in
C.C 0 wreath of sugar and cotton branches; legend, confeder-
ate states of America ; rev Goddess of Liberty seated to right in circle of thirteen stars, in exergue 1801, silver proof, unique, and certainly the most interesting piece ever coined in America. The owner has repeatedly re- fused #500 for it. We annex a shoit sketch of this coin, extracted from the Coin Correction Journal, by which it will be seen that but four pieces were ever struck, and although the discovery of this coin was pub- lished in nearly every newspaper in the country, with comments on its great value, the other three have never been discovered. We are, therefore, justified in using the much abused word unique in describing it.
“ 'This piece is a genuine issue on the part of the Confederate Government Its history is as follows: In February, 18(51, the New Orleans mint fe. into the hands of the Confederates. Their government then in session at Montgomery ordered the preparation of a die for silver coin. In April, Mr. Memminger, Secretary of the Treasury, called for designs for a Half Dollar. Out of several submitted to him, he selected the one we exhibit, and directed Air. A. II. M. Peterson, who is still living in New Orleans, to prepare the dies. This gentleman did so, aided by Mr. Conrad Schmidt, the foreman of the coining room, and from these dies four specimen pieces were struck. Of these four coins one was sent to the Government; one to Professor Riddell, of the University of Louisiana: one to Dr. E. Aimes, of New Orleans; and one was retained by B. F- Taylor, M.D., the Chief Coiner of the C. S. A.
It was much easier for the Confederate Government, however, to pre- pare the dies for issuing coins than to find the bullion for the coins themselves, and so as this latter could not be obtained, the Confederate Secretary ordered, on the 80th April, 1801, that the operations cease and the mint be ciosed. The die thus rendered useless and practically thrown aside, was taken up by Mr. Taylor, by whom it has been cherished as a memento.
Of the other three coins, one was in the possession of Air. Jefferson Davis at the time of his capture, and was taken from him with other valuables by the officers securing him. It has not since been heard of. No trace of the other two coins can be obtained from the day thty were presented to the gentlemen above named to the present day.
fO-Oc 164 Jefferson Medal; bust of Jefferson to left; legend, tii, .jeffeuson,
president OF the u. s. , a. d. , 1801; rev. clasped hands! with pipe and tomahawk above peace and friendship; size, 101 (4 in.), bronze, gold plated, perfect condition; very beautiful and rare.
r __ 165 Hessian Blood Aloney; 1 haler, of Frederick II. of Hessen: rev. • an eight pointed star, lion rampant, virtue kt
fideritate 1776. This piece was coined from silver paid by the English for the service of Hessian braves sent to America to tight our forefathers; very good: excessively rare and interesting.

- 166 Stamp Act of November 1st, 1765, an original impression of this
historic stamp, usually considered the ultimate cause of the war of independence and the birth of this country as a nation. But one other copy of this stamp is known to be in existence, and that is in Independence Hall, Phila- delphia; very valuable and cheap at any price.

The Coin Collector’s Journal,
A PERFECT
Encyclopedia of Numismatic Learning.
Messrs. SCOTT & COMPANY would call the attention of all coin Collectors to the mer- its of the above work, it being an indispensable companion of every well informed amateur. The special feature of each number is ah accurate review of the coin sales of the month, with quotations of the prices realized for all the principal pieces. By this means collectors are kept posted as to the value of their coins and are thus enabled to buy or sell with profit. Readable articles on the coins of every nation, simplified by the aid of num- erous illustrations, enable its readers to be well posted as to the nationality of all coins. We do not make it a practice (as has usually been the case), of illustrating those rare and costly coins which are seldom -ound outside of museums or the collections of Princes, but aim rather to illustrate those puzzling pieces which find their way into every collection, and can rarely be located by their owners. Another monthly feature of the Journal is an illustration of some rare coin in the hands of one of its subscribers, giving such additional particulars concerning it as may be furnished by its owner.
