John J Ford Jr's collection

Zoins

I run into the John Ford provenance a lot when I search for exonumia like tokens but not for coins.

Did John J Ford collect coins? If so, did he just have a few or an extensive collection?

He had an extensive collection of colonials (among other items), I think somewhere in the neighborhood of 11,000 pieces but not 1 regular federally issued coin. You can download PDF catalogs here - https://www.stacksbowers.com/Pages/CatalogLibrary.aspx?Search=john j. ford&Order=Largest
I've got physical copies of the catalogs...the scope of the collection is pretty mindboggling when you leaf through them.
