SKINNER Boston, Mass. By Transf e? P.O. Dept. Mar 23 O W, E. SKINNER, IMPORTANT I-08T0FFI; Usually the preface of a book is an unnecessary prefix, but this preface is of importance to all who intend to col- lect coins, currency, etc., for numismatic purposes to sell to dealers in such articles. The prices quoted beside the dates and descriptions in this book are the current market numismatic values at the date of publishing this book. The publisher of this book, W. E. Skinner, Coin Broker, 325 Washington Street, will usually buy specimens listed herein, and will pay the prices named if he needs the specimens. Almost any other dealer will buy at these rates. It must be remem- bered that prices are constantly fluctuating. In order to learn the very latest quotations, it is advisable to send ten cents at least once a year to W. E. Skinner for his Pre- mium Coin Manual, which is strictly reliable. This Manual is issued once a year, and is the most reliable publication of its kind. In sending consignments to a dealer, each piece should be in a separate envelope, labelled, and the lot sent by ex- press or registered mail, with the sender's name and address both inside and on wrapper of package or box. Dealers are not responsible for consignments if not sent in a safe manner, and if address of sender is not on outside. Moreover, a list of contents should be enclosed and a letter of advice sent by mail at same time in a separ- ate evelope. W. E. Skinner settles for coins monthly by cheque, draft, money order, stamps or cash in registered letter. Business may be transacted at his office either personally S or by mail or express. Distance makes no difference, as his patrons are to be met with in every part of the world. He has clerks competent to conduct correspondence in all ordinary foreign languages. It is not the date of a coin upon which its value de- pends so much as its condition. The aim of the numis- matist is to get specimens in uncirculated condition when- ever possible.

With the samples and directions much time and expense may be saved. A Sample Coin Set may be bought of W. E. Skinner, Boston. Price per set, 25 cents, postpaid. Gilt Edge Coin Book. This book can be readily sold by agents. The regular price is two dollars, but some agents sell at a dollar a copy, just half price, and yet earn a good profit.

Do not write to dealers asking questions about numis- matic specimens unless you are sure that the subject is not fully answered in this book. If you find it necessary to write, however, be sure to enclose two 2-cent stamps for reply. RARE COINS. The prices paid for rare coins are regulated by their state of preservation and the number of a certain issue in ex- istence ; neither the metal out of which the coin is made, nor the age, has anything to do with the prices paid ; thus a copper coin might be worth a hundred times more than a gold coin of the same date. A coin issued only a few years ago is often worth more than one 2000 years old. Uncir- culated coins of certain dates are worth from $5 to $100, while others of exactly the same kind, but much worn, would not be worth more than their face value. Rare coins are divided in classes according to their state of preservation, the highest possible state a coin can be in is proof, then come uncirculated, fine, good, fair and poor. PROOF COINS. These coins are especially struck for coin collectors. The planchet and dies are polished before the coin is struck, which gives them a burnished or mirror-like, re- flective surface. The Mint makes a small charge for each coin so struck, and they can only be had during the year of the issue. UNCIRCULATED COINS are coins as they came from the Mint. They must have the same luster as when dropped from the coining press. A coin that has been tarnished and polished up again can not be classed as uncirculated, although it does not show the slightest wear. FINE COINS are those that have lost their original luster, but do not show the least wear. They might be tarnished or black- ened, but no scratches or nicks are permissible on a fine coin. GOOD COINS must show every feature, especially the date, very plain, not scratched, hammered, plugged or otherwise mutilated. FAIR COINS are coins on which the lettering, design and date are clearly readable. POOR COINS are those on which the design, lettering and date are al- most unintelligible. MUTILATED COINS are coins with holes, cuts, scratches, hammered or other- wise damaged, and, unless they are coins of a very rare issue, are only worth their intrinsic value. A rare coin with a hole is worth about one-half of what it would be without it. FOREIGN COINS. There are very few of the modern foreign coins that command a premium, but any coin issued before 1600 will be bought at a premium. To give a list of all the foreign coins would require a book of several thousand pages, and would be of little value to American collectors. 5 TO PARTIES FORMING COLLECTIONS OF COINS. The large shipments of coins I am constantly receiv- ing enables me to fill orders promptly. I have at all times a large stock of the early Colonial copper and silver coins, United States gold, silver and copper coins, ancient Greek, Roman and Mediaeval coins, Colonial and Confederate bills, fractional currency and numismatic books. NEVER CLEAN A COIN IF YOU WANT TO SELL IT TO ME. COUNTERFEIT RARE COINS. False coins may be divided into the following classes : I. RE-STRIKES are coins made with the original dies, but at a later period. Among the American coins we find re-strikes of the early Colonials, the dollars of 1S04, and the half cents of 1831, 1S36, 1840 to 1S49. They do not command the same price as those struck at the time of the date. At present the dies are destroyed after each year, also all the old dies were destroyed some twenty years ago, and collectors having rare dates can feel safe that there will be no more re-strikes. II. FORGERIES STRUCK FROM FALSE DIES. Those are found mostly among the New England shill- ings, New England sixpence. New England threepence, Pin* and Oak Tree Massachusetts coins, Good Samaritan shill- ing, Sommers Island coins, Carolina Elephant coins, and cent of 1804. No expert in coins is apt to be deceived by them, as their appearance is entirely different from the gen- uine. They do not have the ancient characteristic peculi- arities ; the lettering and design is a good deal sharper than on the genuine and the weight is also mostly incorrect. III. CASTS MADE FROM ORIGINALS. A cast coin j when in gold or silver, may always be de- tected by its light weight, unless this has been compen- sated for by making the cast thicker than the original. The lettering and the types on cast coins are also less sharply defined than on struck coins, and the surface has either a soft and soapy appearance, or else is covered with minute sand holes — an infallible indication of rough cast- ing. IV. ELECTROTYPES, These are of necessity of wrong weight. They may also be known by the edges, where the mark of joining of the two sides, separately made and then stuck together,. is never concealed, unless, which is seldom the case, the electrotype is intended to deceive. The genuine patina on bronze coins is imitated by paint, which can be removed by spirits of wine. Electrotypes may generally be split in two with a strong knife. V. ALTERED DATES. Original coins which have been tooled or altered may be claimed as forgeries. Among the American coins it is especially the dollars of 1801 which are altered by remov- ing the 1 and inserting in its place a 4, and so producing an 1804 dollar. Alterations also occur on the 1793, 1799, 1S04 cents, quarter dollars of 1S23, 1827 and 1S53. These alterations can generally each be detected with a strong magnifying glass, as it hardly ever can be done without leaving some scratches or marks, and anyone buying a rare coin will do well to examine particularly the date. 7 NO RESPONSIBLE COIN DEALER will knowingly sell a false coin as genuine, but it nas occurred that coins pronounced genuine by the most expe- rienced turned out to be false, and if ever any case like this should occur in my business, I shall always be ready to take back the coin and refund the money paid for it. HOW TO SEND COINS. In order not to go to useless expense, always send a list, and if convenient a rubbing of what you have before sending the coins, and if there is anything among them that I want, I will inform you by return mail. SMALL LOTS OF COINS up to one pound in weight are best sent by mail, at one cent per ounce, and if the coins are valuable it is best to have the package registered. Put up-all packages in strong manilla envelopes or in wood or tin boxes. Never send coins in the common white envelopes, as they are not strong enough to hold the coins. I am receiving constantly mail packages broken and some of the coins lost, and I will not be responsible for any loss occurring that way. LARGE PACKAGES MIGHT BE SENT BY EX- PRESS PREPAID. I positively do not accept packages on which the charges are not paid by the sender, as it often occurs that a person sends a lot of foreign copper coins which are not worth the express charges. Neither do I accept any packages sent C. O. D. s All coins are f>aid for the same day as received and coins once paid for can not be reclaimed. Anyone that is not satisfied with these terms I do not solicit their business. Always send your full name and address with each lot of coins you send and state the lowest price you will ac- cept for them. COMMON COINS, that is, coins which do not command a premium, are re- turned at the expense of the sender, deducting enough from the amount sent to pay return postage, or I will send check for face value.

Coins are generally measured by the above scale ; thus a half dollar of the present issue would be called size 20, a quarter, size 15. TERMS USED TO DEFINE THE VARIOUS PARTS OF A COIN. The front or face of a coin is called the obverse. O. Obv. The back is called the reverse. R. Rev. The principal device or object represented on a coin is called the type. The area or space between the type and the circumfer- ence is called the field. The lower portion of the area of a coin beneath the type and separated from the rest of the field by a horizon- 9 tal line is called the exergue. Ex. This particular place on coins, with or without the separating line, is commonlv referred to as the Ex. Small objects represented either in the field or the ex- ergue as adjuncts to the main type are called symbols. Portions of a coin which are sunk below the level of the surface are said to be inctcse. THE PRICES QUOTED in this book include in every instance the face value of the coin, and the publisher reserves the right to change the prices paid at any time without further notice. The First Metallic Coins made in America were the New England shilling, sixpence and threepence. They consist of planchets of silver hav- ing N. E. stamped on one side and XII., VI., or III. on the other. They were authorized by the General Court of Massachusetts, at Boston, May 27, 1652 On June 20, 1652, an order was issued for the construction of a house for the " Mint, " which eventually Mas built just south of the entrance to the present Pembroke Square, on land be- longing to John Hull. The building, when completed, measured sixteen feet square and ten feet high. On June 11, John Hull and Robert Sandersons were sworn in as officers of the Mint, and they were to receive one shilling and sixpence for every twenty shillings coined. The shil- 10 lings were to weigh seventy-two grains, fineness nine hun- dred and twenty-five, and the sixpence and threepence in proportion. There is no date on these coins, but they were coined the same year as authorized, and only a lim- ited number were issued of the above type, and the dies changed the same year to the Willow, Oak and Pine Tree coins, which all bear the date of 1652 or 1662, but had been coined for nearly thirty years.

Williams, a Philadelphia school-teacher, represents the French profile of Liberty. There is an interesting- story connected with the way in which Miss Williams' profile came to be used on the Bland Dollar. In the winter of 1877-78 G. T. Morgan, the designer, was working on sketches for the imprint of the then new silver dollar. Previous to this there had been no dollars coined for five years. Prof. Thomas gakins, then of the Academy of the Fine Arts, advised him to use a 79 iife study, and introduced him to Miss Annie L. Williams, a school- teacher, living- at Thirteenth and Spring Garden streets. Miss Wil- liams, who possessed strikingly classical features, consented to sit for the drawing, and her profile was used to complete the design. Proof. Uncirculated. Fine.

Of all classes of Paper Money which can be procured at moderate expense, these are the most interesting, both from the multiplicity of designs, and from their being the principal relics of the greatest of civi 1 wars. The beautifully engraved notes issued at Montgomery, at the beginning of the war, (May, 1861), with the imprint of the National Bank Note Co. of New York, are especially prized. 1861. DATE WRITTEN.

To give a complete list of all foreign coins would require a book of several thousand pages, which would be of little value to American collectors, as there is little demand here for such coins. The prices here given are for fine specimens. Great Britain. The early coins in use in this country were principally Ro- man ; from about the year 400 to 600 a.d., a series of small coins like pennies were made, called stycae (of mixed metal) and sceattae (of silver). These were succeeded, about the year 600, by silver pennies of Ethelbert, Cuthred, Baldred, Eadwald, Offa, Coenwlf, Berthulf, Burgred, Ciowlf, Beonna, Eadmund, and other Saxon kings, followed by the sole mon- archs of England, commencing with Egbert in 800, and con- tinuing until the Norman conquest by William the Conqueror in 1066. From this time the coinage of silver pennies contin- ued until the reign of Edward III., in 1327, when the coinage of gold, and of the larger silver pieces, commenced.

During the reign of Elizabeth the coinage from the % penny to the shilling, which in previous reigns, especially that of Henry VIII., had been very much debased, was restored to good silver, and the introduction of the mill and the screw in their manufacture, instead of the old process of hammer and punch, gave the coins a more even appearance, and ultimately did away with the necessity of mint-marks, with which to prove the quality of the coins from the different mints. y 2 penny, 1 558-1602, portcullis 2 00 3 farthings, " . . 3 00 1 penny, " 50 2 pence, " 50 4 " " 75 6 " 2 00 1 shilling, " 50 1 crown, " . . 1 5 00 3 farthings, 1561-1602, dated, with rose , 1 00 1 penny, " 50 2 pence, " 50 3 " " 50 4 " '" 50 6 " " 50 I shilling, " 1 25 James I.

During the civil wars of this unhappy monarch, the mint was at one time removed to Oxford, where the college plate was turned into money, some of the larger pieces having a view of the city in the background with " Defender of the Protestant Religion," etc., on the reverse, and as the king's resources became straitened, rude pieces were coined at Pon- trefact, Newark and other towns.

In making a collection of foreign silver coins many collect- ors prefer to make as complete a series as possible of dollar 188 or crown size. Of these one of the most interesting are the old medal) ic crowns of the cities and princes of Germany and Holland from the 15th to the 17th century. We always have a large variety of these in stock, and describe some of the most interesting, though a complete collection would number several hundred. There were also a few half crowns issued, as well as double, triple and quadruple crowns. For a com- plete description of these crowns see the Coin Collector's Jour- nal for 1875.

No doubt it seems strange to the superficial observer that coins issued 1500 to 2500 years ago should not bring as much as some coined a few years ago, but this is a fact, and genuine Greek and Roman copper coins the size of a dime do seldom bring over 25 cents apiece ; those of the size of a quarter to half dollar, 50 to 75 cents; and those of the size of a silver dollar, $1.00 to $5.00. Of course these prices apply to common varieties. Rare issues bring some very high prices, There are such large quantities of these old coins constantly unearthed, that the supply far exceeds the demand. These coins are old but not rare. Now, any- one not familiar with these old coins will say: " How do you know that they are so old; there is no date on them ?' Coins never were dated as they are now until about 1450 a.d. The only way to determine the age of Greek and Roman coins is to look up ancient history. Most of the ancient coins, as far back as 300 years before Christ, have on the obverse, like those of the present day, the bust of some prince, king, tyrant or emperor; and on the reverse, the title or name. Now, if one is familiar with the Greek or Latin language, it is very easy to find out under whose reign the coin was issued, and by consulting the chronology one can ascertain the age of a coin within a very narrow limit. On the following plates are given some illustrations of these early coins : Those on the first plate were coined 700 to 600 B.C., those on the second 300 to 200 b.c, those on the third from 60 to 100 a.d., and those on the fourth plate from 1000 to 1670 a.d. To a student of ancient history nothing can be more interesting than these coins, as some are relics and wit- nesses of the former existence of cities and nations, which if it were not for these coins we never should have known anything of their existence.
