Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of John W. Haseltine's Type Table of U. S. Dollars, Half Dollars and Quarter Dollars: Also, Many Other Rare and Fine Coins, Including United States and Foreign Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals, Jacksonian Tokens, Ancient Coins, Pattern Pieces, Fractional Currency, Confederate Bonds, War Envelopes, Autographs, Proof Sets In this catalogue, I offer for public competition my Type Table of the United States Dollars, Half Dollars and Quarter Dollars, correctly described as to variety and condition. In many of the varieties in the Type Table, I have met with but a single specimen, and in that case they are termed ex cessively rare. Particular attention has been directed to the varieties of the early dates, and it is perhaps unecessary to state that I have no doubt quite a number of varieties Will be found in the higher dates, such as the different mints and positions of figures in dates; to the latter I have not given close attention, as they are put in the die With a punch. Before deciding to sell my Type Table at auction, I had disposed of a number of the rare varieties. In order that the list may appear more uniform, I have added those in an addenda (as not being for sale) at the end of the catalogue, together With those that I hwe not owned, but Which I have seen in other collections. I ha ve purposely omitted pattern pieces from the list of the regular series in the Type Table, With the exception of the 1836 Dollar and the Morgan 1878 standard Dollar. At a future time, if I should'decide to issue a work upon this subject, each variety Will be given a name to more easily distinguish it, and plates be given of those pieces that have but slight differences, inorder that collectors could more readily determine them.
