拍品描述： [Green, Colonel Edward Howland Robinson]. Boyd, F.C.C. Appraisal of Coins Belonging to Col. Green Kept at the Chase National Bank. New York, October 19, 1937.Carbon copies of a single-page letter and three inventory sheets, titled In the Matter of the Estate of Edward H.R. Green, Deceased, comprising an appraisal of "the coin, token and paper money collection of the above named decedent ... in the vault of the Chase National Bank." The letter (28 by 21.5 cm) is signed in ink by Boyd, and also includes the signature and blindstamp of Westchester County Notary Public Henry H. Deane. The inventory sheets (35.5 by 21.5 cm) have fold marks at bottom. Also included are F.C.C Boyds, original expense sheets for his appraisal of the E.H.R. Green Estate, including those for Boston and perhaps New York, January-September 1937. Three ruled sheets (29.5 by 19 cm). Materials generally fine.An interesting supplementary record of this fabled collection, being the appraisal of a part of Greens holdings kept at the Chase National Bank vault in New York (most of the collection was held at the First National Bank in Boston). One hundred eighty-four items, with a face value of $367.70 were assigned a "Market Value" of $1,338.57. It is a rather prosaic accumulation, though including two "Assay Bar[s]" valued at $367.30 and $368.75. The expense sheets are perhaps more interesting, apparently recording the costs involved in an appraisal of the main collection. Headed E.H.R. Green Estate / Contents of Vault 1st Nat Bank Boston Mass. / Re Coins, Medals and Paper Money, they total approximately $1,800. The lions share went to J. Barnett and J. Wade, who each received $300 "salary" payments on January 24 and January 30. The remainder of the charges appear to be travel expenses incurred by Boyd over a nine-month period.From F.C.C. Boyd; John J. Ford, Jr.; our sale, in association with George Frederick Kolbe Fine Numismatic Books, of the John J. Ford, Jr. Reference Library, Part I, June 2004, lot 519.
