The quality of presentation of this collection is nothing short of stunning from the moment the book is opened. Five encapsulated coins are secured in thick cardboard half-pages which open like doors from the center revealing the descriptive cards for each coin which give the traditional view and the Native American interpretations. It is an elegantly inventive way of presenting both the coins and the descriptions together.The coin pages and descriptions are bound in a sturdy case secured with snap closures and covered in a rust-red leatherette material. Very minor wear is evident on the exterior, and the interior is in pristine condition. The encapsulated coins retain their brilliant proof-like mirror finish, and a very few may have very slight purplish toning around the edges of the coins.This comes from the liquidation of Northwest Territorial Mint.

From about 1854 to 1860 he collaborated with George H. Makins(assayer to the Bank of England) to produce a “Improved Assay Balance”.It was so successful it became the prototype for many generations of Oertling assay balances. From 1861 to 1867 he worked in partnership with Edward Wilds Ladd in London. The earliest known Oertling balance was manufactured in London in 1847 ;known as the Beale balance ,named after the person who purchased it for three pounds and seventeen shillings. This balance survived until about 1992 when it sadly went missing during the move from St Mary Cray to the Avery site at Smethwick. After the death of Ludwig Oertling in 1893 his son Henry ran the company until his death in 1921.The company was sold to W & T Avery in 1925 and continued to manufacture at Naylor Road,Peckham in south London.This factory was badly damaged by German bombing during the second world war. In 1952 the company moved to a purpose built factory at St Mary Cray Orpington, Kent. It kept open a repair center at 23 Charterhouse Street, London which closed in about 1960.In 1992 the company moved to the Avery site (Soho Foundry) at Smethwick ,Birmingham. The last Oertling balances were manufactured in 1996 , many are still in use to this day (2012) . Earlier models after being in use for many years have become collectors items & are tribute to the very fine engineering & cabinet making skills of the company.
