The original 1894 version? 1964 reprint? 1970 reprint? 1972 reprint? or 1974 reprint? The 1972 and 1974 reprints were by Quarterman Publications. There are various asking prices depending on which version you're talking about. -MV Edited by MeadowviewCollector 05/27/2015 6:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 05/27/2015 6:50 pm I think $70 was a great price. On AbeBooks, I see the 1894 editions priced anywhere from $150 to $400. If they actually sell for that much, I don't know since I don't follow the book market that closely. Westcoin is a passionate purchaser of numismatic books, he might have some insight to share. -MV Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9795 Posts	Posted 05/30/2015 6:43 pm I know the book, but know nothing about it, have never seen a copy. I'd contact Wayne Homren, editor of the weekly free E-Sylum at coinbooks.org, he can post the question in the next E-Sylum issue and I'm sure you'll have an answer from one of the more than 1800 weekly readers, It comes out every Sunday evening. Note: I've seen the Quarterman reprint sell for more than an original in the past. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
