A Monograph of the Silver Dollar

A Monograph of the Silver Dollar: Good and Bad is a book written by John Leonard Riddell in 1845. The book is a detailed study of the silver dollar, which was a widely used currency in the United States during the 19th century. The author provides a comprehensive analysis of the design, history, and value of the silver dollar, including both genuine and counterfeit coins. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which focuses on the genuine silver dollar, while the second part examines the counterfeit coins that were in circulation during that time. Riddell's work is considered to be an important contribution to the study of American numismatics, and it remains a valuable resource for collectors and historians today. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both experts and lay readers. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American currency and the art of coin collecting.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
