that’s why my sets only went Bach to the 60’s. Without photos they are of marginal value. Barry murphy
I haven't either, and I have no idea why I have that catalog. Simon Monks is still in business as a coins and medals dealer (see http://www.simonmonks.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=61), and Brian Reeds was one of the listed authors of the annual Spink Standard Catalogue of British coins back in the 1990s and 2000s. As well as when it was published as the Seaby Catalogue, in 1986 and 1987 at least -- the only two years I have from the 1980s. Perhaps "S & B's" Coin & Medal Bulletin was his way of paying tribute to his former association with Seaby. Particularly given the fact that this Bulletin was first published in 1991, which you mentioned was the year that CNG acquired Seaby. See https://www.dnw.co.uk/auction-archive/past-catalogues/lot.php?auction_id=203&lot_uid=183795 for the following description of a portion of Lot 327 sold by Dix Noonan Webb in an auction in June 2010: "S & B’s Coin & Medal Bulletin [Amersham/Great Missenden/Bedford], Nos. 1-83 [November 1991-October/December 2005], complete, in 3 volumes." Coincidence? It might make an interesting case on the "likelihood of confusion."
Ressurecting an old thread to ask a favour - does anyone have the Numismatic Circular for September 1980? I'd like to see Ian Carradice's article on the plated denarii of Vespasian found in Spain. I have the supplementary article from the December 1984 issue but not the original article. Thanks
If anyone is looking for old catalogues or books, I have a couple thousand spares from my own library, some of which are listed on my site (rpcoins.co.uk), but not all are. Spink Circulars, Seaby's Bulletins, plus other FPLs and auction catalogues from around the world, but with an emphasis on British salerooms for obvious reasons. Ask if you can't find what you are looking for.
