I would like to be contacted by anyone who possesses an inscribed first edition, April 1963 first printing of Don Taxay's "Counterfeit, Mis-Struck, and Unofficial U.S. Coins."
The book's dust jacket must be present and the title or endpapers should by inscribed by John J. Ford, Jr., Don Taxay, or someone involved with the publication of the book, including its designer, Fred Honig.
Some of the Taxay volumes possessing these criteria may be particularly desirable and I will share with respondents my findings.
I have a copy of the first edition, first printing (with jacket intact) inscribed to James O. Sloss by John J. Ford in the title page. Dated 5/7/63 it reads "For Jim Sloss - (who I hope reads all the fine print!) (signed) John J. Ford Jr."
Anyone else have one matching George's criteria? He can be reached at
