BONNEVILLE, Alphonse. Nouvelle encyclopedie monetaire ou traite des monnaies d’or et d’argent des divers peuples du monde. (Nouvelle edition du precedent ouvrage.) Paris, 1882, 1 vol. in-fol. De XVI et 220 pages, 200 planches.
I need one copy of the above Bonneville work. I have the earlier edition but need the 1882 edition to check a few items. The book is very scarce although there is no demand for it so hard to say what the price should be. If anyone has a copy please offer it to me. If you don’t want to sell it or if I can’t afford it I would ask the favor of having four or five pages photocopied for me. I would pay quite liberally for photocopies if they are necessary.

I also need many of the various editions of the standard coin catalogues issued by J. W. Scott and company from about 1850 through 1915. There are several different versions. I do not need any of the editions that include only copper and base metal coinage unless they are in excellent condition and really, really cheap.

I always want to buy books about Ecuadorian numismatics. I need almost anything if the price is fair. Right now I definitely need at least a couple of copies of La Moneda Ecuatoriana by Melvin Hoyos Galarza. Too many titles to put here but just about anything is of interest to me. The latest edition of Republic of Mexico: Decimal coinage 1868-1905 by Russell Goodyear is also on my list. Well I could go on and on but the list would never finish.
