eAuction #51 - Literature sale III, Lot 144. Estimate: CHF 15.00

Numismatic Fine Arts, Inc. New York, 2 December 1985. Auction XVI. Ancient Coins. 611 lots, 60 plates, several of which depict enlargements. Estimates sheet and prices realized list. Glossy bordeaux illustrated card covers, rubbed with some bends at edges. Interior Very Good.

A note from BCD: One very clever fake has unfortunately crept in amongst the many fine and rare Greek and Roman coins in this catalogue: lot 180 is now listed as a forgery in “Les monnaies d’argent de Syros” by Helene Nicolet-Pierre and Michel Amandry in “Florilegium Numismaticum, Studia in Honorem U. Westermark Edita”. It can be found on p. 304 as D (text) and h (photo). Ironically enough, these “Syros” coins have recently been convincingly re-attributed to Pergamon. See “The Closed Currency System of the Attalid Kingdom” by Andrew Meadows in: Peter Thonemann, Editor, “Attalid Asia Minor”, pp. 184-186.
