The Ponton D'amécourt Roman & Byzantine Sale

are now using Auction mobility as their online bidding platform.

All bidders must register at BID.NUMISLIT.COM or download the Kolbe & Fanning app in the Apple or Google Play Store

Beginning with this auction, Kolbe & Fanning are using Auction Mobility as their third-party online bidding platform. If you wish to participate in the sale online, you will need to register at BID.NUMISLIT.COM. You can use this address to set up a new account, register for the sale, browse lots, place absentee bids in the sale, or participate in the live sale online.

Users should expect a cleaner, more user-friendly interface that is highly intuitive. Registered bidders can track lots, view photos and descriptions, and place bids from their computer, tablet or phone. Most importantly, the Auction Mobility platform is app-based, which means that while you may certainly use it on your computer, you can download our new Kolbe & Fanning app onto your phone or tablet and fully participate in that way.

The app can send you push notifications when the sale is about to start, when watched lots are coming up, or when you are outbid. You can stream live sales and participate on the device of your choice. Your devices and computer are fully synced, making it easy to use whichever is most convenient at a given time.

We did not make this decision to change lightly, and we understand that it can be inconvenient to have to set up a new account and get used to a new platform. We genuinely believe, however, that the Auction Mobility platform will prove itself to be worth the bother. It is used by some of the larger coin companies (including Stack’s-Bowers Galleries and Harlan J. Berk), so many of you will have already had some experience with it.

Since this is the first time we have used this platform, we do strongly encourage interested bidders to register in advance and set up an account on the new platform soon. As always, we accept bids through post, email, phone and fax as well: please see the Terms of Sale for full details.

1. This is an online and mail-bid sale. Absentee bids will be accepted by mail, fax, email and phone until the day before the live online sale. On the day of the live online sale, only bids placed via the live online platform will be accepted: no phone, fax, email or mail bids can be entered on the day of the sale. 2. All lots will be sold to the highest bidder at the time of the sale. All bids (whether placed online or by mail, fax, email or phone) will be treated as limits and lots will be purchased below these limits where competition permits. 3. Absentee bidders should be mindful that bids submitted in irregular increments may be rounded to a lower bid to comply with the online platform’s established bidding increments. 4. Unless exempt by law, the buyer will be required to pay 7.5% sales tax on the total purchase price of all lots delivered in Ohio. Purchasers may also be liable for compensating use taxes in other states, which are solely the responsibility of the purchaser. Foreign bidders may be required to pay duties, fees or taxes in their respective countries, which are also the responsibility of the bidders. 5. This is not an approval sale. Any claims for adjustment by bidders must be made within three days after receipt of lots purchased. No lots may be returned without our written permission. By submitting bids you agree to the Terms of Sale. 6. Bidders unknown to us must supply acceptable credit references or a 25% deposit to assure entry of their bids. Registration of unknown bidders on the live online platform will constitute approval only when the bidder provides an acceptable credit card number with registration. 7. This is a reserve auction. The estimates of value are intended solely as a guide. Starting prices for this sale are at approximately two-thirds of estimate, though this may vary. Kolbe & Fanning reserve the right to purchase items in this sale for customers or stock at their discretion. 8. A buyer’s premium of 18% will be added to the cost of all lots purchased. 9. We reserve the right to withdraw any lot prior to sale for any reason. 10. All postage, insurance and shipping charges will be added to the buyer’s invoice. There will be a $3.00 charge per lot for processing. 11. A late payment fee of 2% per month will be charged on accounts remaining unpaid 30 days after the sale. 12. This sale is conducted in U.S. dollars. Payment may be made by check, money order, credit card, PayPal or wire transfer. All checks must be in U.S. dollars and drawn on U.S. banks. Our bank account details will be provided on request for wire transfers, and any bank charges must be paid by the sender. Invoices may be paid by credit card or PayPal, but the bidder agrees to pay a 3% bank fee for doing so. 13. Lots to be mailed to addresses not in the United States or its Territories will be sent only at the risk of the purchaser. When possible, postal insurance will be obtained. Packages covered by private insurance will be so covered at a cost of 1% of total value, to be paid by the buyer. 14. Title to all lots remains with the cataloguer until paid for in full. Payment must be made immediately upon notification or upon receipt of material. The discretionary right to withhold delivery of lots until full payment has been received is reserved. 15. All lots are as described. We acknowledge the possibility of errors or typographical mistakes, and any errors on our part will be cheerfully corrected. We cannot be responsible for your errors; please check your bid sheet carefully. 16.

Kroh 7 (5 stars): “the ultimate ‘coffee-table’ book; certainly the finest work on Greek coins ever printed. It is massive in size, and contains many fantastic enlargements of the best Greek coins you are ever likely to see. The text (by Colin Kraay) is very well written, and the photography (by Max Hirmer) is truly incredible, even by today’s standards. Long out of print, this is arguably the world’s most sought after numismatic book.”

Handwritten Numismatic Letter by W. Talbot Ready 266 Ready, W. Talbot. HANDWRITTEN LETTER, SIGNED, DATED NOVEMBER 4, 1898, ON THE MEDALS OF BENVE- NUTO CELLINI. Written in ink on two sides of Talbot Ready’s personal notepaper folded to make four pages. Folded for mailing; near fine. $100 In this letter to an employee of the Tiffany firm, Talbot Ready responds to a query by George Kunz on the availability of medals of Cellini in small sizes. George Frederick Kunz (1856–1932) was a mineralogist af- filiated for many years with Tiffany & Company. His strong association with the arts in America made him a leading authority on the subject. Talbot Ready came from a family of restorers for the British Museum, and he himself worked there in that capacity until 1884, after which he became a coin dealer associated with the firm of Rollin & Feuardent. 262 Prou, Maurice.

UNITED STATES NUMISMATICS

from the preface: “The regular edition of Comitia Americana and Re- The “Massamore” Deluxe lated Medals has been shaped for the scholar and the collector... The special edition at hand is intended to serve a different purpose. Here, the Adams Set authors’ objective is to place the reader in a closer relationship with the historical events that are described. To this end, the text of this edition has been prepared by the same letterpress technology in use in the late eighteenth century. The two centuries that lie between the American Revolution and the present day are neatly bridged by the inclusion of a leaf from a book published in 1878. Joseph Florimond Loubat’s Medal- lic History of the United States is the spiritual ancestor of the present volume. Elegantly printed on sumptuous paper, Loubat’s magnum opus sets a standard of scholarly excellence that has not been matched and to which, immodestly, we aspire. Between the timeless craftsmanship of Bird & Bull Press and the actual leaf from Loubat, the authors seek to reinforce the message that our early medals were intended to convey. It is a noble message. We hope that this special edition will prove a worthy carrier of important memories that comprise our national heritage.” The leaf from Loubat in this copy of the deluxe edition features the Comitia Americana medal awarded to William Washington. 302 Adams, John W.

The First Substantive Article Published in the United States on a Numismatic Subject Rare and of the Highest Historical Importance

381 Mease, James. DESCRIPTION OF SOME OF THE MEDALS STRUCK IN RELATION TO IMPORTANT EVENTS IN NORTH AMERICA. Collections of the New-York Historical Society, for the Year 1821. Vol. III (1821). New York: Published by E. Bliss and E. White; J. Seymour, printer. 8vo, recent brown quarter antiqued calf with hand-marbled sides; spine with five raised bands, ruled in gilt; red morocco lettering pieces, gilt; hand-marbled endpapers; all page edges yellow. Fine frontispiece engraving of Hugh Williamson; 404 pages [Mease’s article comprises pages 387 to 404]. Some browning throughout, heaviest at extremities; corner wear to early leaves not affecting text. Very good in a recent binding. $3000 Mease’s article on medals is the first substantive work published in the United States on a numismatic subject and is of the utmost importance to the history of U.S. numismatics. Topics covered include the Libertas Americana medal, a few Betts medals, the Comitia Americana series and some War of 1812 medals. Mease later revised this article, publishing it again in 1834. The present volume is the first printing (1821), and is several times more rare than the second printing. James Mease, M.D. (1771–1846) was a polymath who published on an number of different subjects, including medicine, geology and history. His Picture of Philadelphia (1811) is a foundational work of local history and contains the first useful description of U.S. Mint operations. In addition, he is considered to be the first writer to publish on the subject of U.S. numismatics. In a groundbreaking series of three articles (of which this is the first), Mease examined U.S. medals and coins from the perspective of the numismatist. In his 1858 lecture on the topic of U.S. numismatic literature, William S.F. Mayers noted that “the first actual attempts at systematic classification and record of the coins struck in or for the American colonies and United States, appear in the shape of papers to be found in the collections of State Historical Societies” (published as “The Literature of American Numismatics,” Norton’s Liter- ary Letter, No. 3, 1859, p. 6). Mease’s articles are specifically mentioned by Mayers in his lecture, showing that these works, long forgotten until recent years, were still in the memory of some in the late 1850s. While there can be found items of numismatic interest in some earlier publications of the historical societies, those earlier works take the form of letters or diary extracts and the like; this remains the earliest known numismatic work of substantial importance published in the United States. This volume of the Collections of the New-York Historical Society also contains David Hosack’s inaugural address as president of the Society (pages 269 to 280), in which he comments on the Society’s coin collection (much of it received from Rev. John Christopher Kunze, who began collecting in the 18th century), and makes a cogent argument for the importance of a numismatic collection.
