Newman, Eric P., and Kenneth E. Bressett. The Fantastic 1804 Dollar. First printing. Racine: Whitman, 1962. 8vo, original brown textured cloth lettered in silver. 144 pages; illustrated. Presumed to be as new. This copy is in the original brown paper wrapping as received from the publisher, onto which has been written "Fantastic Bound Page Proof." It has not been opened to verify this, but it was stored with three other copies, with the group being labeled "The Rare Unpublished Edition before the error on diplomatic gifts was corrected." Two of the copies were unwrapped and were indeed the bound page proofs. Caveat emptor. Estimate $300. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
