Here is one spectacular book bought from Charles Davis (of vcoins).</p><p><i>Portraits:&nbsp; 500 years of Roman Coin Portraits</i>, by Anderas Pangerl (second edition)</p><p><br /></p><p>It is a massive book (10&quot; x 11 1/2&quot; x 1 5/8&quot;) which begins with 247 pages of large pictures of obverses of splendid ancient coins, arranged in chronological order (see the first three photos below), then 21 pages of spectacular reverses, then thirteen articles (picture 4. e.g. &quot;From Nero to the Flavians&quot; [in German], only the one on Septimius Severus is in English) on 166 pages with very many photos, 7 pages of English abstracts, and finally 1 1/4&#039; photos of the reverses (photo 5) if they have not already be included earlier.</p><p><br /></p><p>All I can say is &quot;Wow!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]865491[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]865492[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]865493[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]865495[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]865496[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The second edition differs from the first in important ways. The first didn&#039;t have the reverse images and did not have English abstracts, which are included in the second by popular demand.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is an amazing book.</p><p><br /></p><p>Did anyone else get a coin book?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
