More on Bookseller David Edmunds
Peter Preston-Morley of Dix Noonan Webb writes:

David Edmunds of John Drury Booksellers "I did know David Edmunds quite well, not as well obviously as Douglas Saville, but our paths crossed frequently enough back in the 1970s when his catalogues of numismatic literature were issued quite frequently and I was an occasional purchaser from them. I still have a few early issues. I think our paths first crossed when the late Robert Thompson put me in touch with him a year or two after he published what is still the definitive article on the 19th century token issuer John Berkeley Monck, proprietor of one of only two private gold tokens in the British series. David was very interested in tokens and token literature, though whether he had his own collection or not I don't know. His short-lived association with Seaby Rare Books and the late Peter Jones coincided with, as Douglas mentioned, a downturn in the market."

David Edmunds book stamp Mike Knight writes:

"I was sad to hear of the passing of David Edmunds, a pioneer of the numismatic book trade in the UK, who had a fondness for British token literature. It may interest readers to know that he used an ink stamp with his initials to mark books from his personal library. I bought one, Waters 1906 work on Middlesex tokens, without knowing whose initials DRDE were. I was delighted to find out from Harold Welch that they were David's."

Thanks, everyone. I never had the opportunity to meet him, but he was a giant in the field of numismatic literature. -Editor

More on the 1922 High Relief Peace Dollars

A reader who watched Doug Ward's presentation on the high relief 1922 Peace dollars recommends reviewing Roger Burdette's Renaissance of American Coinage 1916-1921 for discussion and analysis of the differences in design between 1921, 1922 HR, 1922 MR and how they left the Philadelphia Mint. -Editor
