[QUOTE="David Atherton, post: 6519315, member: 82616"]Yes, but just barely! My major qualm about the volume is that it is not a very practical catalogue for attributing coins. There are no coin descriptions or any index, just plates of rubbings which are sometimes impossible to read. On top of all that, many times the coin rubbings are unlabelled and lack a date or number. Luckily, I have a PDF copy of the original 1901 catalogue, but that is only of help with the coins originally cited in that volume. The majority of the rubbings in this 1999 edition were added by Savio and have no corresponding descriptions. Needless to say, it is a most vexing book![/QUOTE]
