SPINK FIXED PRICE LIST
Hadrien Rambach of Spink writes: "As in every issue of the
Numismatic Circular, the oldest fixed-price list in the numismatic
world, founded in 1892, and now published every two months,
the April issue of Spink's Circular will offer many rare and
out-of-print numismatic books. There are almost 250 items in
this interesting issue, on many different aspects of the subject
from Ancient Greek coins (with for example 3 scarce titles by
T.S. Bayer, 1734-1738), the Royal Mint (the important work
by G.F. Ansell, 1870), also books on Cufic coins (the two
volume catalogue of the Borgia collection, 1782-1795), and
other Islamic coins (including an extremely rare 1794 publication
of O.G. Tychsen), - The section including books on Islamic
coinages is larger than usual. As always there are a few books
with interesting provenances (the Farouk catalogue with a letter
from Douglas Liddell, a 1st edition of Historia Numorum with
letters from E.S.G. Robinson, C. Seltman and G.F. Hill, etc.).
However the ¾ morocco-bound copy of E. Babelon's almost
complete Traité des monnaies grecques et romaines (1901-
1933), and a nice copy of Adam Berg's New Munzbuech
(1604, the most attractive 'coin-book' of the 16th and 17th
centuries) undoubtedly are the most notable. A large selection
of coins is, as usual, also included."- 2004-03-28
