Added the English Milled Coinage book (1975) by Cope and Rayner to my library

The book arrived and it is from the numismatic library of Helmut Cohn AKA Herman Selig... I didn't see that coming. Apparently he was also a serous collector of pre 1870 Japan- the book has an oriental wood block stamp with his name.

I can really offer no compelling excuses for not finding this earlier other than life gets in the way of numismatic pursuits with books often being put on the back burner.

edited to add... the recent Cope sale and visit with a retired dealer renewed my interest in finding the book.

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Can you post a few pics of the book and a page or two?

    Would love to have a look. :)

    Peace

    Well deliver me!

    I have a 1st ed. (1975) Cope and Rayner that's been gathering dust for about the last 20 years (it also has the DJ). If anyone's interested then shoot me an email and make an offer. Cheers, Mac
