Just got confirmation of my order online for a copy of Nolie Mumey's extremely rare book: "A Pioneer Denver Mint" Doing the dance, I've turned down a few offered to me at $175-350 for quality and price issues. This one is reportedly in excellent shape, has the dust-jacket and was less than $50.00! Only 800 copies were made back in 1950 all were signed and numbered by the author. The Denver Public Library had a copy I checked out a couple of times, before it was stolen off the shelf. I warned the librarians about the potential for theft as the price was around $75.00 at coin shows then, to no avail they left it in regular circulation and someone swiped it. I was on the wait list for over 3 years, and it was showing not checked out. Can you all tell I'm a bit excited? Can't wait to have this treasure in hand.
