Includes 1 phototype of a medallion of Washington, 3 steel engravings, 1 collotype portrait, 24 pages of Levytype half-tones. A number of editions of this book were produced. In this revised edition plates differ from the original, and 1 Gutekunst is replaced by a print from another firm, Wells and Hope Co. The important illustrations are the early Levytype half-tones of the coins. Like many early examples, these simple plates show uneven execution. -- Hanson collection catalog, p. 86.
