I recently came across a list from a talk at the 1952 ANA entitled Twenty-Five Most Useful Numismatic Books selected by R. S. Yeoman.
Scott kindly provided a scan of this interesting item.
My OCR made a jumble of the text's tabular format, so here's the image.

It's a great list for 1952; any such list would be greatly different today, although I'll bet Crosby's Early Coins of America would still be prominent. What are the other "keepers" from this list that haven't been superseded by newer works?
