Hi all, anyone familiar with this large cent book? It seems the original run was 40 copies. This is a 1924 reprint. Wondering if there is much demand/value. Thanks

Cool book.
I have not seen it before, but I am far from a numismatic book expert.
Numismaticmall.com has an informative bio on Andrews and this 48 page pamphlet. Great find, can you show a coin image page? Peace Roy

I have no info on that book, but you could search the archive issues of E-Sylem. It's the weekly electronic newsletter of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society. It's free to anyone, not just NBA members.
BTW: subscriptions are free. There is a lot of numismatic info beside books. I have been getting this for years and it's one of best e-newsletters out there IMO. Shameless plug and I'm not even an NBS member.
No coin images in this book per se. This is a couple of pages, all text. Thanks
It would appear his examinations of the designs were extensive and the documentation transcends imagery. Thanks for showing the internal pages. Peace Roy

While obsolete, it is probably valuable. I'll bet it's a forerunner to Newcomb's book.
Your welcome!!
That book isn't used for much. Newcomb's book replaced it and a couple of others followed. Today, most people use the volumes by Noyes. Hardbound reprints of the Andrews book occasionally surface and retail for ca. $250 in nice condition, That paper reprint does have some value to numismatic book collectors, perhaps $50-$100 (more, if it has the name or book plate of someone with name recognition).

Interesting.
