I reduced prices on the coins on my page of Greek coins for sale: http://augustuscoins.com/Greek.html There are some very nice silver pieces and some excellent AE as well. The rest of this post is about your reference library and some books that would improve it. I am selling seldom-offered major SNG's for about half of their prices elsewhere. Many are very tall folio SNG's. When CNG sells books, they get far more than I am asking. I don't have their audience and they deserve to get higher prices than I can ask. But, if you were, or know, the underbidder at their spring book auction you will see that every one of these is priced very low and should be snapped up. I want about 55% of what any major firm gets (and I have the web site links to prove it). Some collectors collect coins and have few books. Others collect books in addition to coins and I think they benefit from the books. Plus, the books make a beautiful collection too! If you are interested, write me at the email address on the site. I ship only to the US. They are listed below and at my site: http://augustuscoins.com/numislit.html which has many more books as well. Sylloge Nummorem Graecorum (almost all are folio, that is, very tall, about 15", but not thick): SNG ANS part 1: Etruria-Calabria (cardcover) Very good condition. No marks. [$95 SOLD] SNG ANS part 2: Lucania (cardcover) [$85] both together [$165] not much more than half the most recent price elsewhere I could find. CNG had parts 1 and 2 for $255+fees. https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=104502 Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum: The Collection of the American Numismatic Society: Part 3: Sicily I. Abacaenum-Erex. Folio! Huge paperback. 1975. 38 plates. Very good interior. Nice cover but spine sunned. $1092(!) on Amazon [$85 + $7 shipping.

SNG IV Fitzwilliam Museum, Leake and General Collections, part VIII, Syria-Nabathaea. Folio. 1971. Covers very thick. Plates 117-136. Excellent plates.

[$39 + $7 shipping] SNG (Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum) ANS (American Numismatic Society) VI, Palestine-South Arabia. Hardcover. Folio. 1615 coins photographed, covering the Holy Land very well. It should be a $100 book, but they printed too many for the market. Supply and demand have balanced. Hard to pack it is so big (not thick, but folio! You need a tall shelf!) [$25 including S&H in the US (US only) media-mail. It is tricky to ship because it is so large, but I'll absorb the cost.] A great reference work. I use mine a lot. [SNG Evelpidis].

Kroh p. 13 (four stars). https://cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=385203 My set is in better condition from the looks of the bindings (CNG's were far from "very fine"). Their set went for $1900 + fees in summer 2019. If you know who the underbidder was, let him or her know of this set which is better and much less expensive.
