CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, NUMISMATIST

I've been reading and researching about the numismatic pursuits of the famous Adams family, namely John Adams, John Quincy Adams, and Charles Francis Adams. Apparently John was not a huge coin collector, but received some coins as gifts. However, John Quincy and Charles Francis were avid coin collectors. I found the link below specifically talking about Charles Francis. It's an excerpt from a research paper: http://jstor.org/stable/25080756 .

Charles Francis inherited a collection of coins from his father, John Quincy. This further sparked his interest in coins and he dove deeply into learning about numismatics through books. He avidly collected coins the rest of his life. His coins eventually were donated to the Massachusetts Historical Society and then sold at auction many years later.

Regarding his numismatic literature, I didn't realize this until now, but apparently all of these books are still together as a collection! According to the link above, they are in a section of the "Stone Library", where thousands of books belonging to the Adams family are on display. It makes me wonder, what books are part of this collection? How many books are there? Has anybody catalogued them before? I actually already had an interest in visiting the Adams National Historical Park someday, but even more so now!
