    WYNTK----Numismatic Library Book Listings

    in What You Need to Know

    Posted

     

    1) The greatest numismatic book of all time, in my opinion, and long out of print is Numismatic Art in America: Aesthetics of the United States Coingae by Cornelius Vermeule. This book is a quality hardcover from 1971 that is long out of print but might be found for about $100, if you are lucky. It has no analysis of die paring, rarities or price guidelines, but is simply a wonderful book about the attempted art on US coinage.

     

    I agree that this is a fantastic book. The good news is that it has been reprinted recently. I have a copy in my home library, but I am at work so I cannot check the published date. If anyone wants to see the product of a talented wordsmith, read Vermeule's masterpiece.
