ENCYCLOPEDIA OF U.S. GOLD COINS 1795–1933
From NBSwiki
The One Hundred Greatest Items Of United States Numismatic Literature Rank: Number 74
A foundational work including over three thousand color images, this volume belongs in the library of every United States gold collector. Beyond unleashing the über-prolific camera of Tom Mulvaney, the authors have accepted the monumental challenge of finding something interesting to say about every United States regular issue and proof gold coin, and have remarkably succeeded. Gold patterns are well covered and a useful adjunct to the United States Gold Patterns standard work by Akers (#90); gold commemoratives are of course catalogued as well. Collector aids including population reports, auction records, and current pricing data are all here. Finally, the authors include a long overdue inventory of the National Numismatic Collection, updating Comparette’s work of almost a century ago.
