Encyclopedia Small Silver Coins

Softcover book - The latest incarnation of Brother Can You Spare A Dime? - Modern Dime Size Silver Coins of the World with Footnotes to History has been published in a Third Edition.

This work, a many year project to study these coins as miniature engravings of Art and History, was first published in 1997.

Several years later a CD-rom was produced as the Second Edition.

The author won a Numismatic Literary Guild Award for this Edition.

The Third Edition, a 600 page book with over a thousand enlarged scans of the coins from the mid 1800's to 1970 show coins from around the world - Afghanistan to Yemen.

These coins were the money of the people at the time; one would represent a days work, purchase a meal or a night's entertainment.

Kings, Queens and Statesmen are portrayed on dozens, with little biographies of many.

More than a numismatic book, this anthology is a fine way to develop a better understanding of money in use during the previous two centuries.

A great addition to your numismatic library.
