BOOK: U.S. COIN & COLUMBIAN COIN PATTERN GLASS

Regarding last week's query about Coin Glass, Don Bailey writes:

For several years Lois and I dealt in Early American Pattern Glass, dealing with the rare patterns, including coin glass. At one time or other we probably handled every piece. A good reference is "U.S. Coin Glass A Century of Mystery" by Tim Timmerman, 1992. Tim is no longer with us.

Dave Ginsburg writes:

I recommend "US Coin & Columbian Coin Pattern Glass" by Tim Timmerman & Pete Rissell. The copy I have is the second edition, dated 2004 and appears to have been privately published.

The book identifies genuine coin glass, describes the reproductions that were made in the 1960's and 1970's and provides a price guide. I don't know how widely the book is available, but coin dealer Numismatic Americana has copies for sale.

Thanks! Here's the listing from Bill Shamhart's Numismatic Americana web site. -Editor

Updated and expanded 2nd edition, 2004. Out of print.

A little known, and scarce book in its own right. This edition includes not only U. S. coin glass, but its lesser known sibling Columbian coin glass. Fully illustrated, with dimensions for every piece.

The history of these intriguing pieces, as well as the story of the late 20th century attempt to copy them, is told. A great little book easily carried to coin shows and antique shops alike. Quantities are limited.

Priced at: $45.00
