This well-worn yet readable copy of the 9th edition of the “Handbook of United States Coins with Premium List” offers a glimpse into the numismatic world of the early 1950s. Published by Yeoman R. S., this edition predates the introduction of the Lincoln Memorial reverse on the penny in 1959 and the debut of the Jefferson nickel in 1938, making it a valuable historical resource for coin collectors and enthusiasts. Despite its age and wear, the clean interior pages suggest this handbook was a well-used reference, perhaps by a dedicated collector or dealer seeking to navigate the ever-changing world of coin values and grading standards. While lacking a dust jacket, the imperfections on this copy speak to its history and the enduring appeal of numismatics, a pursuit that has captivated generations of Americans since the nation’s founding.
