<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2120691, member: 19463&quot;]I would have to ask him to show both sides of the coin.&nbsp; This painting is the cover illustration of <b>Numismatics an ancient science </b>by Elvira Eliza Clain-Stefanelli whom I was privileged to meet when I was new in the Washington DC area and she was at the Smithsonian.&nbsp;&nbsp; The 101 page booklet (including many pages of bibliography and indices) relates coin collecting in medieval and early modern times down to the middle of the 20th century.&nbsp; At the low price they sell for now (less than 10x the original issue price of $1), some of you would probably enjoy it but it is not a coin catalog and will teach you nothing about coins.&nbsp; You will meet a number of interesting people who formed the basis for the hobby as we know it today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
