Description

Newcomb, Howard R. THE UNITED STATES CENTS OF THE YEARS 1801-1802-1803. Detroit, 1925. 4to, original brown cloth, gilt. 85, (1) pages; 5 fine photographic plates; addition slip tipped in on page 73; cardboard marker with green silk tie present. Ten pages include original authorial annotations written by Newcomb in pencil. Front cover spotted; interior nearly fine. One of the major pre-Sheldon works on U.S. large cents. Copies sold early on in the title's distribution were not annotated; as time passed, discoveries were made and Newcomb changed his mind about a few things, leading him to revise by hand the remaining copies. This copy has quite a number of revisions in the author's distinctive handwriting. Davis 745. Voted as one of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society's "One Hundred Greatest Items of United States Numismatic Literature."
