By AW Browning - completely updated by Walter Breen
New Forward by Q. David Bowers
The present edition of the Browning book, very extensively revised and containing the contributions of some of today's foremost numismatists, will be welcomed as a bookshelf addition by a new generation of collectors and dealers, some of whom may go on to specialize in this long-neglected series or, better yet, discover a new die variety.
The 1925 work by Browning, since its publication has been one of the most elusive and yet most valuable studies of a US series. The supply of original Browning books was exhausted decades ago, and while reprints have helped fill a need in the intervening years, these have not contained any new information. The present book - which is intended as a standard of reference for both collectors and dealers, contains several features not included in the aforementioned work. |
