YEOMAN       Genuine 1947 First Edition A Guide Book of United States Coins also known as the “Red book”. In my opinion is to many the American Coin Bible. Presented here is the very first year in great condition. As can be seen in the pictures the gold foil printing is completly in tact on the cover. On the side foil is complete also yet a bit cloudy probably due to age. The book has been placed into a protective (Clear) book holder (Possibly many years ago) not by myself.                                                              ABOUT THE ACTUAL BOOKS HISTORY      The book still has the original tag in the front page from the Book Store that sold it. Aberdeen Book Company located in New York City. I checked the address to see if the company was still there and found an employment agency occupying the building.         The book came to me as a gift from a family member and long time Coin & Stamp Dealer\Collector.  As evidenced from one of the pictures provided displaying page 135 you can read the line toward the bottom  of the page.  "...Which probably accounts for the scarcity of 1903-O" This denotes a second printing.          I have kept the book wrapped up and protected for many years in a smoke free environment. The spine is in very good shape, no pages are torn, worn or loose. Only for the wear shown in the pictures the book is essentially as it was 50 years+.
