SCOTT'S "COINS OF THE BIBLE ILLUSTRATED"

  My question about Scott's "Coins of the Bible" brought this
  response from Bob Leonard: "My copy was purchased from
  Marlcourt Books of Canada (now out of business) about
  five years ago, but lacks the facsimiles of coins.   It is an
  attractive little book, based (as the anonymous author says)
  on Coins of the Jews by Madden, Recherches sur la
  Numismatique Judaique by de Saulcy, and has "many extracts
  from Rev. Geo. D. Mathew's papers on Jewish Coins in the
  Coin Collector's Journal."

  The introduction explains that the silver coin facsimiles were
  struck, not cast, in "fine white metal," and the mite in copper."
