(4), v, (3), 369, (1) pages; frontispiece; text illustrations; additional plates at the end. Occasional annotations throughout, generally in pencil. Very good or so. A somewhat worn but interesting copy of the best reprint of this still indispensable work, featuring added illustrations and a price guide. Some of the annotations refer to pieces in Syd’s collection. Clain-Stefanelli 15025*. Voted as one of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society’s “One Hundred Greatest Items of United States Numismatic Literature.” Ex Byron M. Hoke, signed by him on the front flyleaf—some of the annotations may be his, though most are Syd’s.
