1/1/1888Le Medaillier Du Canada / The Canadian Coin Cabinet
8vo, original blind-stamped pebbled brown cloth, gilt. (6), 308 pages; illustrated throughout. Small bump to fore-edge of rear cover, else fine. Copy No. 346 of this classic work, cataloguing many tokens and medals ignored by Breton and other writers. The cloth used in the binding of this edition tends be brittle, and copies are rarely encountered as well preserved as this.
1890Supplément Du Médaillier Du Canada / Supplement To The Canadian Coin Cabinet
8vo, original printed paper covers. (96) pages, irregularly numbered; text illustrations. Ex T.L. Elder with his signature in ink on front cover. Lacks rear cover; spine reinforced with black tape on spine. Very good. Tom Elder's copy of the scarce supplement to this classic work, cataloguing many tokens and medals ignored by Breton and other writers. CNB page 38: "engravings and details of tokens which were not listed in the 1st edition including mainly communion tokens and—of special note—the 12 Repentiguy bridge tokens."
