This review is from: California Gold Dollars, Half Dollars, Quarter Dollars (Hardcover)
I have the book (hardback 1st printing) in front of me and EVERY coin has an illustration of it. Not sure what the other reviewer who said there were no illustrations has in front of him.

An early study of California Fractional Gold Coins,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: California Gold: Dollars, Half Dollars, Quarter Dollars (Hardcover)
This book describes 449 varieties of California fractional gold coins primarily from the author's collection. The author focuses on only those coins bearing the denomination dol or dollar. No photos or illustrations of the coins are provided. A brief and completely outdated "rarity guide" is included for each variety of coin.
The author also describes counterfeit coins from the bogus "Kroll hoard" of 1924 prepared from dies that were still being used to produce fakes as of the book's printing in 1970. Although I would have liked to have more varieties and photos included, the book is still a somewhat useful resource for identifying some of the "period one" pieces of these interesting coins. |
