While there were only 500 copies of the book ever published, it is not nearly as hard to find as the numbers might suggest. If you watch ebay you...
Yes, I'm quite familiar with Braddick's collection ;)
It also depends a great deal on the individual dealer. In the minds of some dealers certain coins are not worth spit - regardless of what the Grey...
Howdy 100mon - Welcome to the Forum !! If you have an interest in Spanish colonial coinage I would suggest a book - The Milled Columnarios of...
