The Beauty and Lore of Coins

The Beauty and Lore of Coins This book has been my side kick since it was published in 1974. The photographs are great. It covers the entire numismatic range from primitive and ancient coinage to modern era artistic trend. The narrative is a refreshing adjunct to the main attraction of the book, the photography. I recommend this book. Read it once to understand it's scope and then refer to it periodically for a refresher on the art of the mint master. See also: Historic Gold Coins of the World
