<p>[QUOTE="Clavdivs, post: 5262120, member: 93702"]A few years ago I won a contest here on CoinTalk created by our excellent member [USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER] - the prize was an older copy of "Roman Coins and Their Values" by David Sear.. this is the much older version from 1981. The book is hardcover (in very good shape) - about 400 pages and spans from The Republic to the fall of the Roman Empire. This volume has since been expanded in the early 2000's to (I think?) five much more in-depth volumes. I own three of these now and do not use this older copy at this point.</p><p>At the time I won the contest I had a few uncleaned coins that I was faithfully scrubbing and owned no books on the subject.

[QUOTE="Clavdivs, post: 5262120, member: 93702"]A few years ago I won a contest here on CoinTalk created by our excellent member [USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER] - the prize was an older copy of "Roman Coins and Their Values" by David Sear.. this is the much older version from 1981. The book is hardcover (in very good shape) - about 400 pages and spans from The Republic to the fall of the Roman Empire. This volume has since been expanded in the early 2000's to (I think?) five much more in-depth volumes. I own three of these now and do not use this older copy at this point. At the time I won the contest I had a few uncleaned coins that I was faithfully scrubbing and owned no books on the subject. This was my bible for quite awhile and really expanded my interest in the hobby. So - why let this gather dust on a shelf? Perhaps it can help someone? I messaged [USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER] and he is very much supportive of moving this volume on to someone who will use it. [ATTACH=full]1219907[/ATTACH] [B]So.. if you are interested please respond to this post explaining how you became interested in Ancient Coins, what excites you about the subject and touch on how a book like this would help you. ***ADDED BONUS: I will throw in a few LRBs for you to attribute***[/B] I will discuss any entries with [USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER], select a winner, and ship to you for free (worldwide). With Saturnalia and the holidays happening at the moment I will let this contest ride until January 16th .. then announce a winner. Just looking to pass on [USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER] 's generosity and help any new collector out there. Thank you - and good luck. New collectors should always feel welcome and appreciated! Cheers![/QUOTE]
