    Here's one from W.C Prime 1864.

    Coins, Medals, and Seals, Ancient and Modern.
    Illustrated and Described with a Sketch of the
    History of Coins and Coinage, Instructions for
    Young Collectors, Tables of Comparative Rarity,
    Price Lists of English and American Coins, Medals
    and Tokens, & c.,

    Guess the typesetters drank a lot of coffee back
    in those days. :p
