A great article from a giant of American numismatics!
I love the Florian/Tacitus side by side! I wonder if the family resemblance was that strong. You’d have to think these engravers became a bit...
I wish more houses would adopt adding videos. I found it very helpful in the last Kunker sale. I think CNG did videos once, I wonder why they stopped.
