Handbook of United States Coins With Premium List, 1964, Twenty-First Edition

This item is a hardbound book titled "Handbook of United States Coins With Premium List". The cover is a dark, possibly navy, blue with gold-colored debossed typography and decorative elements. The title is prominently displayed within a rectangular border near the top, followed by the specific edition and author details at the bottom. Specifically, it is the '1964 TWENTY-FIRST EDITION' authored 'BY R. S. YEOMAN'. The book appears to be of standard small to medium book size, suitable for easy handling. Physical characteristics include a rigid cover, indicative of a hardcover binding. The surface shows some signs of wear, particularly visible as lighter scuffs and marks, suggesting general handling and age. There are no immediate signs of major damage like tears or spine separation visible on the cover; however, there is some dust accumulation or minor staining, especially noticeable in the middle section of the cover below the title box. The gold lettering is largely intact, maintaining good legibility. The overall quality suggests a mass-produced, utilitarian publication, likely intended as a reference guide for coin collectors. The specific year and edition make this a potentially valuable historical reference for numismatists.
