Gilbert, E., and Thomas L. Elder. THE VARIETIES OF THE UNITED STATES CENTS OF 1796. New York, 1909. 4to, later brown cloth, gilt. (16) pages (last leaf blank); 2 fine photographic plates of cents. Three supplement sheets, describing varieties 22–40, bound in. Fine. A nice copy, with all supplementary sheets, though in a later binding. Only 300 copies printed. Gilbert appears to have loaned the manuscript to Elder, who assumed co-authorship and published the work without consulting Gilbert. Seldom found with all three supplements, which nearly double the 21 varieties identified in the original work.
