Description

Star Company [Numismatic Department]. THE OLD COIN NEWS. Volumes I and 2 (New York, 1930-1931), complete as published in 13 numbers. 8vo, first volume in later green cloth, gilt; sole issue of Volume II in original printed card covers. iv, 91, (1) + 23, (1) pages; 30 fine plates; additional halftone illustrations. Near fine. Bourne 1930-3. A complete set of the 13 issues published. The emphasis among U.S. collectors on American coins meant that this publication, focusing on ancient and foreign coins, was probably doomed from the start, though the publisher gave it his best effort. A nice production with particularly impressive plates on thick stock. Clain-Stefanelli 853. Ex M. Bourne Library.
