Message:: [QUOTE="Curtis, post: 24817438, member: 26430"]I will keep an eye out -- I feel like I see copies of III pretty regularly. I've got a duplicate of I, which is usually the harder one to find and more expensive. It's awesome that you've got signed copies of I and II! My copy of III is autographed (inscribed to a Mark Millman (?) in 1996 -- anyone recognize that name?). Wish my whole set was! At some point hopefully I'll have all 3. He actually had a Lindgren IV planned, and the coins assembled, but abandoned the project around the early 00s or late 90s. A lot of the coins sold through Antioch Associates were originally meant for the final book. I consider one and two the more important ones, but the full set makes a really wonderful & unique reference. There are a few other similar bronze Greek collections out there (like the Laffaille book) but usually much less comprehensive. Now that we have digital references these books are less essential, but I still love having them, and make sure to catalog all my coins to as many of the old references as possible. They're also great for figuring out the references from older literature or dealer listings & tags. Sometimes you'll see a coin that was cataloged to Lindgren because that's all that was available to the author (or dealer or catalog) in 1993 or whenever, and it can be useful to have these books for looking them up.[/QUOTE]
