A substantial and near-complete run of the landmark John J. Ford, Jr. Collection auction catalogs, issued by Stack's Numismatists between 2003 and 2007. This offering includes Parts II through XXI (20 volumes total), lacking only the first volume of the series. These catalogs document one of the most important numismatic collections ever brought to auction and remain essential reference works for collectors, dealers, and researchers of early American coins, medals, and paper currency. Each volume is extensively illustrated on heavy glossy stock and contains detailed scholarly descriptions, provenance information, and historical context. The present set is in near fine condition throughout, with clean interiors, tight bindings, and minimal signs of handling. Particularly notable is the inclusion of printed prices realized sheets for many or all sales, a feature often absent and highly valued for research purposes. Also included are duplicate copies of Parts XV, XVI, and XVIII, offering additional utility or resale flexibility. A highly desirable working/reference set for the serious numismatist or institutional library, and an increasingly difficult group to assemble in uniformly strong condition.
