Ancient
Gold, Silver and Bronze and Select U.S. Rarities
This month we are
offering a small but select group of Roman Gold and Bronze coins
along with a quality selection of United States rarities. We
ask that long-time visitors to the site be patient as we are in the
process of updating our inventory as well as the site itself.
NOTE: Items from
the Ford, Globus and certain other collections are asterisked (*) in
their descriptions. Text and images of these items are © Copyright

While browsing our
rare coin galleries, please feel free to request high-res
digital photos of any items of interest, since scanning rarely does
justice to the subtle toning and patina of the surfaces.
Our
Roman Gold Gallery has several
extremely fine first and second century aureii, while
Roman Silver contains a
nice run of Republican, Imperatorial and early Imperial denarii. Finally, there are several nice
Greek tetradrachms being offered,
along with a scattering of miscellaneous other items of interest.

By the way,
if you're a collector, you'll enjoy this book

The Mercy of the Puddles is a witty, fast-paced satire of
smuggled antiquities and the New York art world. The story
centers on a beautiful run of fifth century Sicilian
tetradrachms and some ancient pottery shards bearing graffiti.
A recently downsized computer expert, Fred Munson, learns there
is similar graffiti on the foot of the Met's fabled Nikias Vase.
His discovery leads to a relentless search for the lost works of
Euripides, a pursuit which takes him on a wild journey through a
fleabag hooker hotel, a late-night talk show, the Soho loft of a
beautiful Russian curator and the back offices of the
Metropolitan Museum.

| Incidentally,
in
our more than forty years of buying and selling rare coins, we’ve found
that knowledgeable collectors invariably possess seven key traits.
We like to call them the Seven Cardinal Rules of forming a
collection.
If
you'd like to see which of these traits apply to you, click The
Big 7 button on the left of the page.
One thing is certain: if
you're still reading this, there's no question about it -- you
clearly have the makings of a truly gifted collector.
Focused.
Alert.
Intent on learning.
Congratulations.
You have a rare gift, one you share
with Norweb, Hazeltine, Gulbenkian and a mere handful of other
distinguished collectors. We’ll get along well together.
Enough said. Time to
see some rare coins.
When you return, please do take a moment to
consider our Seven Cardinal Rules of
collecting.
Even if you find nothing of interest in our
gallery, the time you’ve spent with us will not have been in
vain.
