westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9810 Posts	Posted 03/04/2015 7:08 pm The largest (in size) is Maris' book on the coins of New Jersey Standing a whopping 18.875 inches in height, it became the tallest numismatic book in America upon its publication in 1881, and has never relinquished that title. http://www.coinworld.com/insights/G...-a-look.html Interesting article, I own a reprint of the Maris book, but it is relatively small in comparison to the original volume.

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12915 Posts	Posted 03/06/2015 01:06 am I had a flippant "bragging rights" reply ready to roll until I read the text about the author's original intent being able to use the book as an easy (I'll assume un-magnified) reference for coins. I could really use one of those for WAMs and such! Bring on the modern-day giant tomes! Can you imagine any book today published in that size? The newly-annoucned Deluxe Red Book would be delivered by a forklift. "Yes, Mr. CelticKnot. Thanks for your interest in our services. Now...um...why, exactly... do you need $12,000 to buy a coin book? That's just the paper value. Normally people come to us to ask for money for actual coins." Report this Post to the Staff
