<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BenSi, post: 25828307, member: 95174&quot;]I need to add this to the thread. The new version came out last year and is updated.</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="4"><u>Die Münzen des Byzantinischen Reiches 491-1453: Mit einem Anhang: Die Münzen des Kaiserreichs von Trapezunt</u> Hardcover – 30 Nov. 2023 by <a href="https://www.amazon.de/-/en/s/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1?ie=UTF8&amp;field-author=Andreas+Urs+Sommer&amp;text=Andreas+Urs+Sommer&amp;sort=relevancerank&amp;search-alias=books-de" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.de/-/en/s/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1?ie=UTF8&amp;field-author=Andreas+Urs+Sommer&amp;text=Andreas+Urs+Sommer&amp;sort=relevancerank&amp;search-alias=books-de" rel="nofollow">Andreas Urs Sommer</a></font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">To start the book is not complete catalog but an excellent reference to the majority of Byzantine coins and current market values. The key points to mention on this new edition.</font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4"><b><u>200 pages have been added to the catalog from the 1st edition. </u></b></font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4"><b><u>According to the intro, 1000 coins have been added and prices have been updated, some lowered, some raised. </u></b></font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4"><b><u>It is the first Byzantine coinage catalog in decades, to be updated. </u></b></font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">I do not speak German but I can use Google translate on my phone with ease, it makes the book easily readable. I have not gone through the whole catalog but since my specialty in collecting in the 12th century Byzantine coinage, it was an easy comparison between editions.</font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">I hope this catalog continues in popularity, In Europe it is a go to book, I would hope it becomes supported in the USA as well insuring a 3rd edition.</font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">The photos are just ok but it remains affordable, I got my copy with shipping under 100 usd. </font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="6"><br /></font></p><p><font size="6"></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
