A note from BCD: Undoubtedly Hoffmann’s “Magnum Opus”. The only complaint one can have of this catalogue is that not every coin has been photographed. In the Greek series, the real rarities should be defined by how well they stand the test of time. A coin that was considered very rare in the 1890’s could well be much less rare today. Here, the star pieces of mainland Greece not only have maintained their rarity but one could say that they have become even more legendary. The plates are surprisingly free of the usual foxing and the Byzantine collection, of which the auction never materialized, is also present.
