<p>[QUOTE="Carausius, post: 3054891, member: 76440"]Provenancing coins is practically my second hobby. I've gradually built-up a library of old auction catalogues for this activity, largely focused on Roman Republic. The library is also useful for matching dies, styles etc. For those interested in this pursuit, I highly recommend John Spring's <i>Ancient Coin Auction Catalogues 1880-1980</i> book which lists catalogues with plate counts broken down by Greek, Roman Republic, Imperial and Byzantine (and some other specialist counts like Aes Grave and Great Migration). These counts help you focus on buying old catalogues most useful to your specialty.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
