Materials vary in condition from good to fine, with most modern items being fine. A fascinating assortment of material, including a number of 19th-century counterfeit detectors and Coin Chart Manuals. While both bank note reporters and counterfeit detectors have grown more popular as collectables and as areas of study in recent years, there is still much to learn about them. They are bibliographically complex and it would seem that otherwise identical publications were frequently distributed under different titles and imprints. Present here are a number of items that would ordinarily be offered in separate lots, but we have tried to maintain Wayne Homren's ephemera binders in their original arrangement, making exceptions only on occasion. Ex Wayne Homren Library.
