Hi,
I have duplicate copies of the following books all in new condition:
The Cent Book(hardcover) - John Wright - $80.00
-The Cent Book 1816-1839" is the first work ever to cover this series in a manner well-suited to both the beginner and the advanced collector. The author photographed coins from several prominent collections to provide almost 500 three-inch-diameter photographs showing excellent examples of every known variety of the series, and another 400 photographs in the life-size die-chains in the back of the book. The CENT Book includes an extensive glossary, discussions of several topics of interest to copper collectors, and a complete rarity table. The discussion of each year puts these coins into the context of their times in a very entertaining manner. The presentation of each of the 246 varieties of 1816-1839 cents includes a complete description of each die, striking variations and die states, and an individual variety discussion including rarity, known population by grade, discovery and known history of the rarer varieties, and a general idea of expected prices. By using this book, a single cherrypick could repay the cost of the book and more. And a careful reading could seriously infect the reader with "the cent disease". The CENT Book has compressed into 400 8.5 x 11 pages over forty years of in-depth experience by one of the best-known authorities on this fascinating series, and admirably shows the author's infectious love for the old coppers.
Penny Whimsy (hardcover) - William Sheldon - $25.00
United States Copper Cents 1816-1857 (hardcover) - Howard Newcomb - $25.00
All three as a lot - $120.00
Delivery via USPS at cost (Media Mail might be best as these are heavy).
If you collect early copper/large cents these make for interesting reading and reference.
PM or email.
Thanks,
-Brian
