So-Called Dollars: An Illustrated Standard Catalog

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (32265 ratings)

Description:After a lapse of forty-five years, a second edition of So Called Dollars, the classic work by Harold E. Hibler and Charles V. Kappen was recently by the Coin & Currency Institute of Clifton, in a vastly different environment than its predecessor. This category of crown-sized tokens, once ignored by nearly all and relegated to junk boxes and the biggest bulk lots at the end of an auction sale, have now achieved a status equal to other widely-collected areas of numismatics. When So-Called Dollars was published it was the first, and it is still the only book to deal comprehensively with its subject matter. The book begins with the legendary Erie Canal Completion issues of 1826 and proceeds to catalog 135 years of the Golden Age of American history, all the way up to 1961. Although there have been many propositions for reviving the book over the years, none were more than theoretical musings until two collectors, Tom Hoffman of Crystal Lake, IL and Jonathan Brecher of Cambridge, MA set the process in motion. They have been joined by two others, Dave Hayes and John Dean, to produce a remarkable new edition, of the sort that can only be the product of dedicated hobbyists who love their subject and see it as their obligation to share with others the knowledge gained from years of collecting. While the second edition holds true to the original in basic style and in substance, prices have skyrocketed and it offers much that is new. There are many more illustrations than in the first edition. In fact, virtually every type is now represented by a photograph. More historical information for the issues is presented in the text, which has been further expanded with additional listings of both previously unknown metal varieties and totally new items. The size of each item is now given in mm rather than in 16ths of an inch as in the 1963 edition. Each issue has been assigned a rarity rating of from R-1, indicating more than 5,000 known, to R-10, meaning “unique.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
