NEW BOOK: MEDALLIC WASHINGTON

I am happy to announce that Medallic Washington is being published this month by Spink. The two volume work is a complete revision of William Spohn Baker’s  Medallic Portraits of Washington. Each volume is roughly 450 pages with each medal illustrated with color photographs.

In the course of preparing these volumes, I have had the opportunity to photograph the Washington medals in the Appleton collection at the Massachusetts Historical Society, the Baker collection at the Pennsylvania Historical Society, the Snowden collection at the Smithsonian Institute, the gold Washington Before Boston medal at the Boston Public Library as well as a number of significant private collections.

Photography has also been provided by the American Numismatic Society, Yale University, Stack’s-Bowers and Heritage. A separate price guide supplement is in the works and will be available by the time the books are ready for shipment on or about September 1.

The work will be distributed by Spink in the UK and Charles Davis and the author in the U.S. The price of the two volumes with supplement is $165.00 with $10.00 for shipping. We anticipate having a limited number of advance copies at the ANA World’s Fair of Money in Anaheim at Charlie Davis’ table. Below are two sample pages.
