PREFACE. We desire to call particular attention to this collection of coins,

being confident that amateurs will find very many cheap coins which have long been wanted to fill up gaps in their collections, and add historic interest to their cabinet, as there will be plenty of chances to buy fine portrait coins of the old Roman emperors at a very moderate price, and from the fact of there being but little to attract large buyers, those of limited means can be sure of supply¬ ing their wants at low prices, while the many interesting foreign coins must appeal to all who really wish to educate themselves in numismatic studies.

The collection of Masonic Medals is worthy of especial attention, as the opportunity of completing sets of this interesting series is very rarely offered to the public, such medals as come into the market being usually sold at retail and at high prices.

Collectors living at too great a distance from New York to attend in person, may have their orders executed by the auctioneers, Messrs. Scott & Co.; or other dealers, for a commission of 10 per cent, on amounts under $100—over $100, 5 per cent.—a uniform charge of 50 cents made on any amount under $5.

In reference to the method of selling at auction we would say that each lot is sold to the highest bidder, at so much for each coin in the lot, so if you desire a lot of coins which contains 10 pieces, and you wish to pay $1.00 for it, you should bid 10 cents each. Always state your highest price, relying on the honor of those you employ to make the purchase for you at the lowest possible figure.

The coins will be on exhibition at the Auction Rooms, on the dajr of sale, from 10 A. M. to 5 P. M.
