Complete Set of United States Gold Coins: An Analysis of Auction Records by David W. Akers. Volumes I-VI (Gold Dollars through Double Eagles). A truly superb date-by-date evaluation of the entirety of United States circulation gold issues. Though their titles may suggest a mere condition census and/or price analysis, these books are far more. Of particular value is Akers' “Comment” section, where he discusses various characteristics for each date, gleaned from his extraordinary research and experience. These comments are composed of statements concerning various combinations of the following: rarity in all of its variations (conditional, relative, marketplace, etc.), strike characteristics, major varieties and more. The boards display moderate shelfwear/scuffing but the books are internally clean and tightly bound. Despite signs of handling, they are not at all unattractive and will well serve your reference needs. Scarce, especially as a complete set, and always in demand. - $225 The Garrett Collection. Parts I through IV. Bowers and Ruddy. Deluxe Hard Bound Editions Part I, November 28-29, 1979. 153pp. 622 lots Part II, March 26-27, 1980. 193pp. 1195 lots Part III, October 1-2, 1980. 157pp. 1692 lots Part IV, March 25-26, 1981. 180pp. 661 lots Lovely black binding with gilt lettering. Prices realized bound in. Each is in excellent condition, both internally and externally. Pages are clean, white, and mark-free. Aesthetically superior and far more durable than their soft-bound counterparts, these catalogs are the ideal way to enjoy what is perhaps the most legendary numismatic auction in American history. - $125 The United States Gold Coin Collection (Eliasberg). Bowers and Ruddy Galeries. October 27-29, 1982. Special Deluxe Edition. Lovely blue leatherette, with inset photo of High Relief 1907 St. Gaudens Double Eagle, on deep red background. With gold borders and gilt lettering. Slight discoloration and very gentle waviness are present at the edges of the pages. Neither of these extend into the pages once opened. Internally excellent, tightly bound, with bright white, unmarked pages. A wonderful presentation of the stupendous and famously complete Eliasberg Gold Collection. - $125 I'm having difficultly with Photobucket at the moment, so I can't display pictures directly on this listing.
