Great books, Steve. To complete the detour (and get back to Ancient coins), here's an early book on Ancient coins (edition from 1727): [ATTACH]...
I know this is the Ancient forum, but I usually post here because other forums lack the passion and knowledge found in this one. Anyway, not to...

Ancient Doug: Thank you for your insight into the study. As technology improves, I imagine that there will develop an improved non-destructive...
