Frossard, Ed. [editor]. NUMISMA. Reprint. (Minneapolis): Ramm Communications, 1983. Small 4to, original green leather-grained cloth, gilt. 500 pages; occasional illustrations. Fine. Copy No. 43 of 71 copies bound in 1993 and distributed by Gold Leaf Press (The Money Tree), described by the firm as: "The Second Binding of the Limited Library Edition." John Adams page 68: "Frossard opened his own business in 1877 and initiated his own periodical, Numisma. This latter, undoubtedly the most lively publication of its kind, provides us with an intimate glimpse into the hobby as it and its personalities then existed." A decent reprint of this rare publication, originally issued from 1877 to 1891 by one of America's most colorful and outspoken early coin dealers. Ex Raymond Hale library.
