Book Summary
14, (2) pages; 52 descriptions; 2 very fine plates. Columbus: Reprinted for Private Circulation from the American Journal of Numismatics, 1884. 15, (1) pages; 1 fine plate of jetons and medals. Tall 8vo, later blue cloth, gilt; original printed card covers bound in. The Frossard work is a bit worn, and bears some modern annotations; the Parson work is nearly fine; the overall volume is near fine. The first work is very scarce, of which only 100 copies were printed. The monograph was dedicated to the notable Chicago numismatist Charles Morris, whose collection of jetons undoubtedly formed the basis of Frossard's detailed catalogue. Still cited and quite useful. The offprint of Parsons's AJN article is at least as scarce: this copy is unusually well-preserved and includes the original printed card covers.
