Description

A Beautifully Bound Set of the C4 Newsletter

Colonial Coin Collectors Club. THE C4 NEWSLETTER. Volumes 1–25 (1993–2017). A complete set for the period covered, being twenty-five volumes as bound in thirteen. Varying 8vo or 4to format, later black half morocco with marbled sides; spine with five raised bands, ruled, lettered and decorated in gilt; red morocco spine labels gilt; original printed card covers bound in. Fine. The first twenty-five years of one of the finest specialty club publications around, exquisitely bound in thirteen volumes using high-quality goatskin and other materials. The early volumes were bound by Alan Grace, and represent his work at its best. Martin served as editor of the C4 Newsletter for many years, making this set all the more special. The C4 Newsletter has played an important role in the development of colonial coin collecting in the United States, publishing substantive articles as well as shorter, more casual pieces. It remains one of the primary sources of information on the subject.
