PROVENANCE GALLERY OF 1794 LARGE CENTS

A new book on the 1794 cents was advertised in the
latest issue of Penny-Wise, the offical journal of Early
American Coppers, Inc. Al Boka was kind enough to
forward me the text of the ad for inclusion here in The
E-Sylum:

"Obtain your copy of the latest book featuring United States
Large Cents. An overview of the formation of the United
States Monetary system and the Philadelphia Mint as well
as the conditions surrounding the production of what many
consider the ultimate numismatic subject: The cents of 1794.

A brief history of large cent collecting and their collectors,
descriptions of collectible obverse & reverse designs as well
as colorful photographic plates of each coin featured in the
2004 EAC Provenance Exhibit at the San Diego convention.
Prologue by John W. Adams. $25.00 postpaid

[According to Al there are 140 pages in hard cover. There
are 63 pages with color plates featuring each 1794 variety
displayed at the EAC convention of 2004. Additionally there
are pictures of an example of each of the other "major" large
cent obverse designs. -Editor]
