Appendices, bibliography, index. Description: Published by Bowers and Merena Galleries. Many black and white illustrations plus one section of color plates. From the preface: ''In 1982 the United States Gold Coin Collection, a cabinet of coins formed by Louis Eliasberg during the 1930s and 1940s, was consigned for unreserved public sale to Bowers and Ruddy Galleries, the predecessor of Bowers and Merena Galleries. An auction catalogue was prepared. The group of coins, unprecedented in its scope, contained each and every date and mintmark from the first year of gold coin issuance in 1795 to the last, 1933. The auction, held in New York in November 1982, realized $12.4 million. Within the chapters that follow are descriptions and illustrations of such pieces as the 1861 Dahlonega Mint gold dollar issued when the federal coining facility was captured by southern forces during the Civil War; the sparkling cameo-like 1841 quarter eagle, a coin affectionately called 'The Little Princess' by cataloguers over the years; the curious, historical, and rare $4 gold stellas of 1879 and 1880; and much much more.'' Originally published in 1982, this is a later printing.
