MICKLEY'S DATES OF US COINS AND THEIR DEGREES OF RARITY
Last week Craig Sholley asked for an electronic copy of Joseph Mickley's rare monograph Dates of US Coins and Their Degrees of
Rarity. -Editor
David Sundman of Littleton Coin co. writes: This is from a little display I have on exhibit at our offices in Littleton, New Hampshire. This shows the front page of the monograph. 
Craig Sholley writes: Mark Borckardt sent me a scan of his copy of Mickley's "Dates of United States Coins and Their Degrees of Rarity." It would seem that there is more than one issue of this pamphlet as there are many notations in the numismatic record showing the date of publication as June 1858. However, this copy has Snowden's May 21,1859 offer to trade for Washingtonia, thus establishing that this copy was published after that date. Likewise, Mickley could not possibly have listed the rarity of 1858 coinage in June 1858. Saul Teichman writes: I checked the Charles Davis literature book and it also uses the 1858 date but mentions the 1859 letter on the cover. If there is only one version, then it is an 1859 product. Do any other E-sylumites know anything about the Mickley pamphlet?
Here are a couple images from Mark's scan. -Editor
