The First Four Volumes
Mehl, B. Max [publisher]. MEHL'S NUMISMATIC MONTHLY. Volumes I–IV (Fort Worth, 1908–1911), complete, bound in one volume. 8vo, later black cloth, gilt. 760 pages; numerous halftone text illustrations of coins; portraits of famous American and Canadian numismatists, etc. Near fine. An underrated source of information, Mehl's Numismatic Monthly is especially rich with word sketches of turn of the century American numismatists, often accompanied by individual or group photographs. Also featured are short monographs on many unusual numismatic topics, including a wealth of data on Canadian numismatics. Of Mehl and his Monthly, John Adams has written, "Launched in January of 1908, the early volumes of the Monthly are easily the equal of The Numismatist, boasting original articles by such gifted writers as R.W. McLachlan, Edgar Adams, Howland Wood, George Blake, Dr. Eugene Courteau, J.W. Haseltine and Frank Stewart." After Volume IV, Mehl took two years off from publication before resuming the Monthly in 1914 for six more volumes. Ex William A. Burd Library.
