Hermes, Leon C. RARE COINS AND MEDALS OF IMPERIAL RUSSIA AND MODERN GREECE. Jamaica, New York, Spring 1978, Summer 1978 and February 1979. Three catalogues. 8vo, self-covered. 12 to 16 pages each; illustrated. Generally fine. Very rarely encountered. The final of the three issues present expands the title to Bulletin of Rare Coins and ... and includes as subtitle: "An illustrated catalogue of crowns, minors, patterns, medals and decorations with documentary research essays in the field of Russian and Greek numismatics to be published regularly." While modest in appearance, these lists (mostly focusing on Russian Imperial coins) are well-illustrated and include some impressive coins. Highlights include a 25 kopecks of 1901, the Alexander III memorial ruble of 1912, and a stunning set of four 5 kopeck pieces of Catherine II from the Hutton-Czapski collection.
