Chats on old coins, (Books for collectors) Hardcover – January 1, 1928

Numismatic literature has hitherto been prepared for the specialist, and adapted to those who wish to possess in categorical form a complete- or as nearly so as the writer's knowledge enabled him to make it-- list of the coins and medals of the period under review. Some books have been written for the beginner and those who at small cost were desirous of obtaining an elementary account of the particular branch of coin collecting in which they were interested.
