"In the E-Sylum issue Vol 10, No. 29 of July 22, 2007, Karl Moulton discussed his new book "Henry Voigt and Others Involved in America's Early Coinage". After providing a description and details on how to order the book (blue cloth, dust jacket), he finished with "As a treat for the dedicated bibliophile, plans are in the works for a deluxe leatherbound, large paper, and extra illustrated version to be ready later this year. Stay tuned."

I cannot find any further mention of this deluxe version, nor any later ads or marketing materials. Nor can I quickly find an appearance of this version in numismatic literature auctions. Is anyone aware of any such marketing materials or ads?"

I'm not aware of a deluxe version. I reached out to Karl's friend and book collaborator Steve Tompkins. -Editor

"I am not 100% sure, but I believe Karl never followed through with this, as the book did not meet his expectations. There is still great information in the book, but it was not put together in the best way.

"I do remember that I threatened Karl that one day I would redo the book and make it bigger & better...He scoffed at that, as we had recently finished working on his John J. Ford and the Franklin Hoard book (2 rewrites, 5 years and a thousand page behemoth!!!).

"After his recent death, I was able to acquire his entire library, auction catalog inventory, research notes, correspondence and remaining copies of his books, both John J. Ford and the Franklin Hoard and Henry Voigt and Others involved with America's Early Coinage. The books are listed on my website if anyone desires a copy.

"If someone wants a leatherbound of the Voigt book, you could certainly cut the covers off of the hardbound edition and have one made, as there are no unbound signatures in what I acquired. Same goes for the Ford book."

Thanks. I'm glad to know the books are still available. -Editor
