Volumes I-X (Fort Worth: Mehl, 1908-1919), complete. 8vo, later green cloth, gilt [Volume 8 in blue cloth]; original printed card covers bound in. 1756 pages; numerous halftone text illustrations of coins; portraits of famous American and Canadian numismatists, etc. Stand-alone indexes to first two volumes laid in. Generally near fine. A well-preserved set of this underrated source of information. Mehl's Numismatic Monthly is especially rich with word sketches of turn of the century American numismatists, often accompanied by individual or group photographs. Also featured are short monographs on many unusual numismatic topics, including a wealth of data on Canadian numismatics. Of Mehl and his Monthly, John Adams has written, "Launched in January of 1908, the early volumes of the Monthly are easily the equal of The Numismatist, boasting original articles by such gifted writers as R.W. McLachlan, Edgar Adams, Howland Wood, George Blake, Dr. Eugene Courteau, J.W. Haseltine and Frank Stewart." Bourne 1900-27. Ex Cardinal Collection Library.
