Newman, who described them as "new copies" made from "a set of the photographs of all the coins in the Brobston fixed price sale, which they handled in the 1950s [sic]. This is of extreme rarity, as you know. .. The new copies made came from those photographs." Twelve 8 by 10 inch black-and-white prints, each showing four of the original small prints; negatives included.
