Coin Books on the internet

[Richard L. Hall]

I was doing some searches on the internet and came upon some coin books that
have been digitized by Google Books. I've included the URL for them which
are pretty long and also the tinyurl.

This is J. R. Snowden's book on the medals of the U. S. mint. It was
referenced heavily by Breen in his coin encyclopedia.

And this is "The Illustrated History of the United States Mint." published
by George Greenleaf Evans

Both are fairly interesting books.

Thanks!. I hadn't thought about the Google project as it applies to
numismatic books. There ought to be some good pickings there as they expand
their library.

There are in fact quite a few numismatic books (at least one hundred)
on Google or Internet Archive. The trick is in picking the right
combination of words used for searching.
