NEWMAN-MALLIS COIN SCALES BOOK OFFERED

Numismatic Booksellers Kolbe & Fanning are offering an important but scarce book on U.S. Coin scales and counterfeit coin detectors. Here's the announcement. -Editor

U.S. Coin Scales cover In 1999, Eric P. Newman and A. George Mallis published a nearly 400-page encyclopedia on U.S. Coin Scales and Mechanical Counterfeit Coin Detectors. For years, this work has been difficult to find, bringing upwards of $200 when offered at auction.

A small quantity of copies of this volume "the most comprehensive work yet published on the subject" has been discovered and copies are available for a limited time for $50 plus $5 shipping.*

Kolbe & Fanning will have this title available at Table 1215 at the ANA World's Fair of Money in Philadelphia, August 14-18. It can also be ordered now from our website at numislit.com. Only one copy may be ordered per customer at this special price.

Miners' Improved Gold Scale

The collection of coin scales, weights, coin banks, counters and devices, and mechanical counterfeit coin detectors owned by the Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society will be sold in Heritage's November 7-9, 2018 sale in Dallas. The discovery of these copies of Newman & Mallis comes at the perfect time to learn about these ingenious mechanical devices, so important to merchants and bankers of the 18th and 19th centuries in sorting the good from the bad.

Order your copy today!

* $5 shipping offer is domestic only via USPS Media Mail. Priority mail and foreign shipping available at actual cost.

I was lucky to purchase a copy of this great book for my library early on and have had it ever since. With the upcoming sale of Eric's landmark collection, I think these will sell out fast. If you have any interest, act quickly. -Editor
