Breen's Complete Encyclopedia, Signed
Breen, Walter. WALTER BREEN'S COMPLETE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF U.S. AND COLONIAL COINS. New York: FCI/Doubleday, 1988. 4to, original black cloth. xiv, 754 pages; illustrated. Inscribed by Breen to Roger Persichilli on title. Fine. Probably the greatest single attempt to discuss all U.S. coinage, including colonial and private coinages, in a single volume. While some have focused on the text's occasional errors and the volume's production problems, it would be impossible to name another reference work that includes so much solid information on U.S. coins. Kolbe 1093. Ex Roger Persichilli Library.
