Just commenting again to add... Another way to think of it: No one else on Earth will ever have that combination unless you sell the book (since,...
Oh, my, that is a truly fantastic combination! The holy grail of provenance collecting (at least for this provenance collector) is to have (a)...
Yes, that's the one given by Forum and in the other thread here on Etenna (linked from my comment above), but is there any source for it? I...
It's described as "very rare" on your coin's listing and the two others that are easy to find on ACSearch:...

I was planning to sit out today's CNG e-Auction but couldn't pass this up. Don't mind admitting I got it for less than half my max bid. CNG & the...

Nice one! I'm sure I either watch-listed or bid on that one too. Is that the 1977 book? I don't have the 2007 revised volume by the son yet, but...
Yes, I remember at least one such thread, and I recall being satisfied with the answer, but I can no longer remember where or what... Several...
Very interesting writeup, thanks for sharing! Salm ibn Ziyad seems to have been lucky not to suffer the usual fate of rulers who lost medieval...
Phew, that's a tough one! So far RPC only has 51 types from Docimeum & only a total of 266 specimens. (Roughly 160 records on ACSearch.) That...
