An extremely important reference work authored by Challis, Graham Dyer, Peter Gaspar, N. J. Mayhew, and Ian Stewart.

It …breaks new ground by providing up-to-date synthesis and analysis not only of recent numismatic and historical literature but also of primary sources, many of which have never before been fully studied…the location of minting, the chronology and size of output, mint personnel and organisation, and the main technology employed are closely described and analysed…"

Special Large Paper Copy, printed on pale blue-green paper. Inscribed by the author. Loosely laid in is an 1863 newspaper article entitled Jugement. It details the claims of defamation made by Rollin and Feuardent against Charvet for certain comments he made attacking their character in the introductory text of this work. The judgment went against Charvet, and the Court ordered the destruction of seized copies of this work, among other penalties. Publication of the article itself appears to have been ordered by the Court, which authorizes "Rollin et Feuardent à faire insérer le présent jugement dans trois journaux à leur choix, aux frais de Charvet."

A Remarkable Copy of Munro, Annotated by the Author

750 Munro, Neil Gordon. coins of japan. Yokohama, 1904. First Edition. xx, 281, (3), 2 pages, color frontispiece, portrait, color plate of primitive treasure, 25 plates printed in metallic tints, 38 additional plates of coins, text illustrations, annotated throughout in ink. Original green cloth, gilt, hinges weak. Near fine. 750.00

Inscribed on the front flyleaf: "R. P. Schwinnis (?), Oct 13/05, Yokohama, Japan." Both sides of the following leaf, directly preceding the half-title, feature handwritten notes written in dark blue ink, signed at the end by N. Gordon Munro and dated Sept. 8th, 1905. Entitled "Note," the author provides a key to the annotations in the text pertaining to rarity, i.e., "5 indicates that only about that number are in existence. 10 means 10 or less. 20 means 20 or less. S means Scarce. + indicates that from 3 months to a year will probably be necessary to wait before securing a specimen…C means common…" Munro also makes a number of interesting comments, including: "…Although some specimens are known to be in the hands of collectors it is often very difficult to purchase, as Japanese do not like to part with such treasures. As a rule it is only when some one dies that the rare coins come into the market. Besides these coins, I have over three hundred others…Unless specially stated on the page of illustrations, all the coins in this book are guaranteed to be genuine. Many of the coins in foreign museums are clever forgeries. All coins not illustrated in this book are also guaranteed to be genuine." These notes in general, and the last sentence in particular, suggests that the author was offering his collection for sale. Beyond the extensive indications of rarity, interesting observations are also recorded in the contents, including one pertaining to the kwan ei ban sen depicted on plate 2: "There is only one other set known to exist." After Fig. 89, an illustration of "Silver Haha Sen," Munro writes: "The only one in existence," followed by his initials. After two gold obans, Tensho and "Taiko,"he notes: "Not obtainable." A unique and most interesting example of this scarce and still important work.

786 Nunn, C. Hearn, Editor. the numismatic magazine. a monthly journal devoted entirely to coin collectors. volume i. Bury S. Edmund’s, 1886. Issue numbers 1-12, bound in one volume. (4), 96 pages. Contemporary black cloth, gilt. Fine. 150.00

A scarce publication, full of interesting numismatic tidbits. Centered on British coins and medals, it also featured articles on American numismatics. Included in this volume is a serialized version of the Rev. Henry Christmas’ famous essay on the Copper Coinage of the British Colonies in America, and a reprint of S. S. Crosby’s The Sommers Islands Coins. Also featured is a most interesting synopsis of How Coins are Sold in America, reading: "It is a recognised fact that Coin Sales in the United States are far more numerous, and better attended, than those held on this side of the Atlantic, and, at a rough estimate, it is calculated that at least 100,000 dollars worth of coins change hands annually in this fashion in the United States alone. The expense in making up these Auction Sales is, of course, very large, and unless a Sale realizes at least 1000 dollars, there will be little or no profit to the Cataloguer. The charge usually imposed is 25 per cent.; this covers every expense, such as preparing the matter for the Catalogue, printing the same, and, also, the Auctioneer’s fees. Most of the large American Dealers act on commission, and execute various bids, for which they make a charge of 10 per cent."

Tipped-in on the second free flyleaf is Pye’s "prospectus," (21 x 13 cm.) dated July 1, 1794 and headed: "Provincial Copper Coins." In it, Pye begins: "Great Variety having been circulated since 1787, not only in Great Britain, but Ireland and the Isle of Wight, and it being difficult to procure any Thing like a complete Series of them, the engraver of the above Specimen [a fine engraving of a 1791 Hull Halfpenny] having paid great Attention in collecting them together, submits to the Curious in Coins and Medals the following Proposals under the patronage of (Rev. Dr. Southgate, Mr. Pingo, Matthew Boulton, Mr. Young, et al.)…" Pye goes on to enumerate the details of production, including the method of distribution (subscription), and those who will receive subscriptions. Each plate was "to contain Five Coins," three plates would "constitute a Number," and the first number was to "be published on the First of August" and the first of each month thereafter "until the Series is Gone through, which it is expected will be completed in Seven Numbers." A note at the end states that "(a) few proofs will be taken on large Paper, at Five Shillings each Number."

Thick quarto: 28 x 22.5 cm. Old calf and marbled boards, gilt. Fine. 650.00

Ex libris Hamilton Smith and R. W. Barton. A delightful and most interesting example of the first edition of this classic work. Many of the manuscript notes identify the discovery sites of the engravings of Roman and early English coins pasted in. Also included are notes and descriptions of seventeenth century tokens, medal plates from Rapin and Tindal, Pinkerton plates, a fine separate Pye token engraving, etc. The engravings present here were compiled from a wide variety of late eighteenth and early nineteenth printed sources and are of considerable interest in themselves.

 

Handsomely Bound "Third Edition" Pye

831 Pye, Charles. a correct and complete representation of all the provincial copper coins, tokens of trade, and cards of address, on copper, which were circulated as such between the years 1787 and 1801, when they were entirely superceded; a new copper coinage being at that time in circulation, issued by authority of government. second edition. London: published by Matthew Young, (1819). 18 pages, 55 finely engraved plates of tokens (numbered 1—52 plus 15*, 18* & 35*), pencil and ink annotations. Quarto: 27.5 x 22 cm. Finely bound in contemporary red half morocco, sides decoratively ruled in gilt, four wide spine bands, one panel lettered in gilt, remaining four panels intricately decorated in gilt and blind, marbled page edges, silk marker, corners a trifle worn. Very fine. 800.00

A most attractively bound, internally fresh, example of this 1819 edition, rare in any form. Pye's landmark token engravings originally appeared in 1795. An expanded version with new plates, incorporating tokens issued up to 1801, was issued in that year, followed by the penultimate Matthew Young 1819 imprint offered here, arguably making it the third edition. Nearly a century later, Arthur Waters published yet another edition (vide following item), even yet rarer.

 

1916 Pye/Waters – One of Only 23 Copies Issued

Copy number thirteen of only twenty-three copies printed. Ink stamp of Robert J. Hudson on front pastedown and small ink stamp at base of title. One of the rarest and most desirable works on the topic ever issued. Arthur Waters was perhaps the greatest aficionado of eighteenth century English tokens of all time. This work was made possible by his purchase of a quantity of the Pye plates at a sale of a portion of the Chetwynd library. By reprinting the nine plates not present there, he was able to assemble a total of twenty-three copies, and he accompanied them with his updating, revisions and notes on rarity.

Brunet 25079. Graesse page 402. Cumont 2139 (1639 Latin & 1640 Flemish edition). Engel et Serrure (1639 Latin edition): "Renferme quelques monnaies de Flandre." Olivier De Wrée, (1596-1652), also known as Uredius (or Olivarius Vredius in the Latin first edition of this work), was a jurist and poëte brugeois, along with his deep involvement in archeology, history, and numismatics. This work on the seals of the counts of Flanders is a most handsome production, and appears to be rare. As both Cumont and Engel & Serrure observe, it also includes coins of Flanders, although, most curiously, they fail to record this French edition.
