Rare Numismatic Essential Attribution Library -Crosby, Bolender, Overton, Newman

An exceptional opportunity to acquire five cornerstone references for collectors of early United States coinage. These are not casual reading titles — they are the working attribution bibles actively cited by PCGS, NGC, Heritage Auctions, and Stack's Bowers. Rarely does a complete set like this come available in a single purchase. Books included: 1. The Early Coins of America — Sylvester S. Crosby The foundational reference on pre-federal and Colonial American coinage. Originally published in 1875, this classic reprint remains an essential starting point for anyone researching early American numismatics. "Crosby numbers" are still used in auction catalogues today. 2. The United States Early Silver Dollars from 1794 to 1803 — M.H. Bolender (Third Revised Edition) The standard die-variety reference for Flowing Hair and Draped Bust dollars. "Bolender numbers" are universally recognized — this is the book every early dollar specialist must own. Third Revised Edition is the most complete and sought-after version. 3. The Fantastic 1804 Dollar — Eric P. Newman & Kenneth E. Bressett The definitive scholarly study of numismatics' most famous coin — the legendary 1804 silver dollar, long nicknamed the "King of American Coins." Newman is considered one of the greatest numismatic researchers of the 20th century, and this book is a classic of the genre. 4. Early Half Dollar Die Varieties, 1794–1836 — Al C. Overton (Revised Edition, Third Printing) Simply put: THE book for Bust half dollar collectors. Every serious collector and dealer uses Overton numbers to attribute Capped Bust and Flowing Hair halves. This is one of the most actively referenced titles in all of American numismatics. The revised edition is significantly expanded over the original. 5. The Early Quarter Dollars of the United States The standard variety reference for Draped Bust and Capped Bust quarters. An indispensable companion to the Overton for anyone building an early type or variety set. Condition: All five are hardcover. Overton with original dust jacket in good condition and pristine under jacket, all others without dust jacket but still in great shape. Whether you are assembling a numismatic research library, a working reference collection, or upgrading individual titles, this lot represents significant savings over purchasing these volumes separately. These books routinely sell individually at $50–$150+ each.
