FOREWORD. 
 
 It is only in rare instances that numismatists have an opportunity 
 to draw upon such a rich and valuable collection as that of the late 
 James B. Wilson, Esquire. This collection is undoubtedly one of the 
 finest in the country to-day and represents many years work. Mr. Wil- 
 son was a collector of keen discrimination and judgment and with the 
 means and facilities at hand to gratify his appreciation. 
 
 Not only did he collect American coins, but he appreciated choice 
 foreign pieces as well. His interest in things Oriental led him to gather 
 together some choice examples from the Oriental countries. In the 
 American collection particular stress should be laid upon many pieces 
 which on account of their great rarity and numismatic interest stand 
 apart and above all the others. These include the uncirculated 1802 
 Half Dime, the finest known specimen; the Proof 1838 O. Half Dol- 
 lar, also the finest known specimen; the Proof 1827 Quarter Dollar; 
 the $5 Bechtler, the "150 Gr. Rutherford County" variety; the $2.50 
 Templeton Reid; the round $50 Wass Moliter "Slug," and the un- 
 circulated Cents of 1793 and 1804. 
 
 Mention should also be made of choice early eagles, half eagles and 
 quarter eagles, and of the rare and choice gold proof sets running from 
 1 863 almost to date. 
 
 The private gold collection is one of the best that has ever been of- 
 fered. The prize $5 Bechtler specimen above referred to has not been 
 offered for a great many years and this is probably the identical speci- 
 men that was last sold. Mr. Brand, of Chicago, has one of these in 
 his splendid Bechtler collection, besides which there are certainly not 
 over three known. The $2.50 Templeton Reid is another piece seldom 
 offered. 
 
 Three magnificent slugs, each of high rarity — the round Wass 
 Moliter $50 practically uncirculated, will be appreciated by those who 
 are familiar with the private gold issues. Then there are choice Mor- 
 mon, Oregon Exchange Co., Moffat, Clark, Gruber & Co., U. S. 
 Assay and other issues in large variety. In gold a small but choice 
 lot of foreign and Oriental pieces are included. 
 
In the dollars are splendid examples of 1 794, 1 836, (including the 
 "Gobrecht in field" variety), 1838, 1839 (2), 1851, 1858 (2). 
 Besides these are included numerous examples of the early and later 
 dates in perfect condition. 
 
 There are many half dollars, including many mint-marks, in superb 
 preservation, with two very fine 1 797s and an uncirculated 1815. The 
 quarter dollars run uniformly choice from the early to the later dates. 
 
 The collection of dimes is also noteworthy and contains some remark- 
 ably fine specimens of 1797, 1798, 1800, 1803 and 1804. It will 
 not be too much to say that in the collection of half dimes are some of 
 the finest specimens ever offered. Uncirculated specimens are offered 
 of 1794, 1795, 1796, 1797, 1800, 1802, 1803 and 1805, several 
 in duplicate. 
 
 The minor coins are complete in like perfect condition. 
 
 The collection of patterns, small, but choice, contains very rare 
 "Commercial dollars" and two splendid glittering proof $4 pieces, or 
 "Stellas." 
 
 Too much cannot be said of the collection of United States cents, 
 because a finer lot has never been offered at auction. The best 1 793 
 cannot be excelled; it is perfect. In 1 794s there are several uncir- 
 culated, and probably a dozen that are fine to very fine, several of 
 them rare. Mr. Wilson could well be proud of his 1 795 s because he 
 possessed two varieties of the thick planchet type, and two varieties 
 of the thin planchet type; all four pieces are of a light olive color, and 
 all are uncirculated. Choice 1796s, 1797s, 1798s, 1800s, 1801s, 
 1802s, 1803s, 1805s, 1807s, there are in profusion. The 1799s 
 should not be passed over lightly, the 1 799 over 1 798 specimen being 
 especially interesting, as it is about uncirculated; the perfect date variety 
 is a very fine one also. The superb uncirculated perfect die 1804 
 cent will be one of the sensations of the sale. Some have pronounced 
 the 1 806 the "best," and a record price for this date may be expected. 
 A number of 1 808s include a particularly choice example of a light color 
 which should bring a high figure. The 1 809 and 1811s are gems 
 of high order. Connoisseurs will be interested in the fine proofs of 
 1821, 1822 and 1832. The 1824 perfect date, sharp and uncir- 
 culated, is valuable and very rare. All the intervening dates not men- 
 tioned above to 1 85 7 are uncirculated. 
 
The examples cited are suggestive and more or less typical of the 
 entire collection which abounds with rare and interesting specimens. 
 The collection, as a whole, is unquestionably one of the highest in 
 quality which has been offered in many years. It is not too much to 
 regard it as a monument to the zeal and discrimination of its late owner 
 who was in truth one of our most successful and patient collectors.

 to carefully and fairly describe each lot.

 The finest specimen known of this great rarity, which 
 
 has not been offered in any of the recent sales. Was 
 
 purchased by Mr. Wilson, in Oct., 1884, at a high 
 
 cost. Excessively rare. 
 
 So far as can be learned, the last time a specimen of this rare 
 
 piece was offered for sale was in 1882, when the R. C. Davis 
 
 collection was sold, and this probably is the identical piece. 
 
 There are probably only four specimens known, hence the 
 
 piece is the second rarest half dollar, ranking next to the 
 
 noted one of 1853, without rays or arrows. Excessively rare.

 "SOMMER ISLANDS" SIX PENCE. 
 
 1409 (1616.) Sommer Island Six Pence. Obv. a hog. 
 "Sommer Islands," and VI. for Six Pence. Rev. a 
 ship. A complete and well centered, strongly struck 
 specimen. These pieces are all very thin and even in 
 unused condition show some signs of corrosion. This 
 is the finest one that has come to notice and can 
 be said to be very fine, the obverse being 
 strong in every particular, showing the little "hoggie" 
 in all his native glory. Excessively rare, and very 
 few known. The earliest coin struck for America!
