[Boston MFA] Vermeule, Cornelius. “Monete greche acquisite alla collezione del “Museum of Fine Arts” di Boston dal 1953 al 1960,” Numismatica II/3 (Sep.-Dec.) 1961, 8 pages, including 2 plates. Original protective printed card covers, faded. Fold line through center of publication. Good.

A note from BCD: A little known and probably quite rare precursor to the “Boston Supplement” as it is known in numismatic circles. Cornelius Vermeule was keen to let the world know that Boston was still a strong buyer at international auctions. He therefore wrote this well illustrated article for the Italian “Rivista” to show off his latest Greek coin acquisitions. A far cry indeed from the attitude of today’s major museum curators…
