Early Coins Of America: And The Laws Governing Their Issue (1873)

The Early Coins of America: And the Laws Governing Their Issue is a book written by Sylvester Sage Crosby in 1873. The book is an in-depth study of the early coins of America, tracing the history of coinage from its beginnings in the colonial era to the early years of the United States Mint. The author provides detailed descriptions of the various coins that were issued during this time period, including their designs, denominations, and the materials used to make them. The book also explores the laws that governed the issuance of coins, including the Coinage Act of 1792, which established the United States Mint and regulated the production of coins. Crosby's work is considered a seminal text in the field of American numismatics, and it remains an important resource for collectors, historians, and anyone interested in the history of American coinage.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
