Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XVI The Question of Condition considered More at Large-- How One most Forcibly Realises Its Importance and Value--Limited Survival of Ancient Coins in Fine State--Practical Tests at Home and Abroad --Lower Standard in Public Institutions and the Cause--Only Three Collectors on My Lines besides Myself--The Romance of the Shepherd Sale --Its Confirmation of My Views--Small Proportion of Genuine Amateurs in the Coin-Market-- Fastidious Buyers not very Serviceable to the Trade --An Anecdote by the Way--The Eye for State more Educated in England than Abroad--American Feeling and Culture--What will Rare Old Coins bring, when the Knowledge of Them is more developed?--The Ladies stop the Way--Continental Indifference to Condition -- Difficulties attendant on Ordering from Foreign Catalogues--Contrast between Them and Our Own--D'une Beauti Excessive--Condition a Relative Term--Its Dependence on Circumstances--Words of Counsel-- Final Conclusions--Do I regret having become a Collector ?--My Mistakes. Condition, with the majority of coin-collectors, does not rule at all. A man wants a particular piece for the sake of study or of possession; and so long as the type is there, he is satisfied. That is the general religion of amateurs. With a second section this quality becomes a merit; if the coin is a good one, so much the better, if it is not too dear. With halfa-dozen perchance in each generation, if with so many, the state is a postulate; the purchaser of the item depends on that above everything else; and the price is secondary. I have known very few persons in my time, who seemed thoroughly to understand what a fine coin was.

Twelve years ago, Richard Yancey answered a blind ad in the newspaper offering a salary higher than what he’d made over the three previous years combined. It turned out that the job was for the Internal Revenue Service -- the most hated and feared organization in the federal government. So Yancey became the man who got in his car, drove to your house, knocked on your door, and made you pay. Never mind that his car was littered with candy wrappers, his palms were sweaty, and he couldn’t remember where he stashed his own tax records. He was there on the authority of the United States government. With "a rich mix of humor, horror, and angst [and] better than most novels on the bestseller lists" (Boston Sunday Globe), Confessions of a Tax Collector contains an astonishing cast of too-strange-for-fiction characters. But the most intriguing character of all is Yancey himself who -- in detailing how the job changed him and how he managed to pull himself back from the brink of moral, ethical, and spiritual bankruptcy -- reveals what really lies beneath those dark suits and mirrored sunglasses. This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.
