Excerpt from Catalogue, Vol. 1: American and Foreign Medals of Napoleon I. And III., Washington, Lincoln, Grant, and Other Presidential, Political and Noted Men; Probably the Finest Ever Offered at Public Auction; The Property of Mr. Isaac F. Wood, of New York CityAs I am unwilling to see these and some two or three more of the same character of rarity run the risk of slaughter in the auction room, I have directed the attachment of an upset price or starting limit to them, as will be seen in the text, deeming this a fairer method of treating intend ing bidders than the ordinary under-handed one of buying in.With these exceptions - not over half a dozen in all - everything will be sold without reserve.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
