JOHN J. FORD JR. COLLECTION CATALOG PUBLISHED
By now many of our subscribers have had a chance to
see a copy of the new catalog for the John J. Ford Jr.
Collection, published by Stack's of New York. The catalog
is Part I of the collection, to be sold October 14, 2003 in
New York. The sale features Early American coinage
(Continental Dollars, New Jersey and Vermont Coppers,
Fugio Cents), and coins, patterns and numismatic ephemera
of the Confederate States of America. The coins are to
die for, of course. What makes the catalog especially
interesting are the essays by Tom Moon, David Alexander,
Ford himself and others on Ford's career and collection.
Many of Ford's key coins came from the estate of F.C.C.
Boyd, and the catalog includes a 3-page essay on Boyd.
Page 12 of the catalog has a trial bibliography of Ford's
numismatic writing, including eight articles in our print
journal, The Asylum.- 2003-09-28
