I love auction sale catalogs that emphasize collection themes (with prices realized). I hope some of you will learn to love them too. If a catalog has a theme you collect, you can learn a lot about what great coins in the area look like and what a collection might consist of. Seeing a collection is a lot different than a search of one type at a time on the web. I just added sale catalogs with the finest late Roman AE collection ever offered, the finest Roman gold collection ever offered, an outstanding Byzantine collection, an amazing collection of sestertii, an outstanding collection of Jewish and Holy Land provincial coins a run of Aksumite pieces. The Lanz "Leo Benz" collection of Roman imperial coins in two volumes. A collection of very large diameter Roman provincials. They are listed and described more completely on my page of ancient-coin literature. http://augustuscoins.com/numislit.html
