Very limited editions (only 25 copies were produced of the Addendum volume, and not many more of the others). The first work to cover the topic since Attinelli’s 1875 Numisgraphics. This series of five volumes plus the supplement covers the 1822–1959 period and is a remarkable pioneering effort, underwritten by the compiler and distributed to three dozen or so recipients on a complimentary basis. It is a massive compilation, meticulously compiled, of all of the publications known to the author, including an illustration of each and a list of the various issues published. Includes much information available nowhere else. Kolbe 237 and 238. Ex Wayne Homren Library.
