Product Details: "While numbered "Volume 4," United States Proof Coins -- Volume IV: Gold is really the first volume to be issued in what is ultimately planned to be a four-volume series on United States proof coins. For the author, this series is the culmination of a life-long fascination with the Mint’s pinnacle of their output – the best examples of the coiner’s work – proof coins. With these four volumes (this work on gold, United States Proof Coins -- Volume II: Nickel and forthcoming similar treatises on silver and copper), the author hopes to cause a renaissance in collecting proofs.""These (planned) four works will systematically identify every known Proof variety issued by the United States prior to 1916. By doing this, collectors will then be able to assemble variety sets of Proofs just as they do for large cents by Sheldon and Newcomb varieties, half dollars by Overton numbers, and the other circulation series that have been extensively studied and have had their varieties enumerated. (For collectors interested in proof coins from later years, United States Proof Coins 1936-1942, Eightieth Anniversary Edition covers the next period of proof coins issued from 1936 to 1942. Finally, The Official Red Book: A Guide Book of Modern United States Proof Coin Sets provides coverage of later proof set years.)" This auction: "Volume 4 actually consists of two books covering proof gold coins which are among the most sought after and desirable issues in United States numismatics. The first book, Part One, covers gold dollars to gold four dollar coins. Part Two covers half eagles to double eagles. The two hardbound books -- consisting of over 1000 pages between them -- come packed in a matching slipcase that holds and protects the two-volume set. This volume on Proof gold has nearly 2,000 illustrations and every proof gold variety either has a full-color photograph or a close-up illustration of its pertinent features."Condition: Overall very good plus pre-owned condition, coming from a smoke-free, pet-free environment.
