I love the old toning on that and [USER=87179]@Chris B[/USER] &#039;s Bavarian Pfennig (I&#039;m totally unfamiliar with medieval German coins, but what an amazing facing bust on that obv!). Those are fantastic coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=13813]@CaptHenway[/USER] -- that would be wonderful if you get the chance. If you do speak, please let him know that the collection has been the source of a lot of excitement, and it will certainly be cherished for a long time! I&#039;m thrilled I was able to get a few, and that he&#039;d kept track of so many of the coins&#039; backstories for so long.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Donna, I love that you still have your first coin book -- and that it was purchased in Nassau! (I&#039;d forgotten reading that you collected British coins first.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve got a similar book. My first was Sear&#039;s Greek Coins &amp; Their Values, Vol. 1, my parents also purchased it for me while on vacation (in London, after visiting the British Museum). I was about the same age (7-9 years old). I still have it, including the 22.50 GBP price-tag. (That was A LOT c. 1986-8! Almost $90 in 2022 USD according to the internet, so we considered it quite an investment.) It&#039;s tattered, but I&#039;m actually surprised not more so after all the years of regular use.</p><p><br /></p><p>I may have some Bressett (or Bressett-edited) U.S. coin books in storage, but my only ancient one is the Zander Klawans volume that he edited / updated in 1994. (<i>Money of the Bible</i> is on my want-list, though.)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1463451[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
