Annotated by the Author

Breen, Walter. SILVER COINAGES OF THE PHILADELPHIA MINT, 1794–1916. New York, 1954. 8vo, original printed card covers. 28 pages; illustrated. Five pages have annotations, in pencil or ink, in Breen’s hand. Near fine. The Coin Collector’s Journal, Whole No. 159. Breen’s monograph constitutes the penultimate issue of the Raymond CCJ. It is easy for us, from today’s vantage point, to forget that Breen’s work for Raymond was truly ground-breaking. While the annotations are not extensive in this copy, some of them are substantive.
