Crosby, Sylvester Sage. The Early Coins of America. Boston, 1875.Original clothbound hard covers, with protective black leather on the spine and corners. 381 pages. With all plates and their protective tissue papers, though some of the latter have become unattached. Very Good. With considerable wear to the cover, the leather being worn through at the corners and edges. The front cover is a little bit loose, the connection being broken from the base of the spine, extending about three inches. Gilt titles on the spine are intact, and the interior is quite solid. Traces of foxing in places, but overall the interior pages are clean and reasonably bright. Some stress between the signatures, but all are intact. Slip cover included, though not original to the volume. This is a landmark American numismatic book that proved so well accomplished that it stood as the standard reference for early American coins for more than a century and remains useful today. Within the context of the Twin Leaf Collection, perhaps the most notable attribute of this book is that Plate VI includes an image of the Parmelee-Mills-Jackman specimen of the 1787 Massachusetts Transposed Arrows cent, a highlight of the Twin Leaf Collection.From the Twin Leaf Collection of Connecticut & Massachusetts Coppers.
