First two volumes signed by the author. Fine. Three recently published volumes by America’s favorite numismatist, all of them printed in relatively small quantities and primarily intended for distribution as gifts to friends and clients. The Vattemare project was written in the late 1990s and only reached publication in 2018. The second volume discusses the different types of 5 cent nickel pieces along with the various forms of entertainment available for that price through the years.

Bass, Jr., Emory May Holden Norweb, the Garrett Family, Virgil Brand, and others.
