Sear, David R. ROMAN COINS AND THEIR VALUES - MILLENNIUM EDITION VOLUME ONE. Spink and Son Ltd, London. 2000. 8vo. 532 pages. Original blue cloth, gilt, jacket. Inscribed by the author. b&w plated and line drawings throughout. Fine. This book is a catalog and guide to Roman coins. The catalogue entries have been expanded to include a virtually complete listing of the entire Roman Republican series, as well as more comprehensive coverage of the much larger and more complex Imperial series. Greater emphasis is now placed on the precise chronology and place of mintage of each type and extensive coverage is given to the important series of billon and bronze coins struck at Alexandria over a period of more than 300 years. The valuations have been exhaustively researched from recent auction records and fixed price catalogues and many professional numismatists have contributed their valuable opinions on specific series. Prices (both in British pounds and US dollars) are now expressed in either two or three grades of preservation for each entry, usually 'VF' and 'EF' for precious metal issues, and 'F', 'VF' and 'EF' for Imperial bronzes. Perhaps most importantly, the number of photographic illustrations in the text has been increased, and their quality improved. The latest editions of this standard reference. Lot weight: 2 lbs 4oz. Subject(s): Ancient Coinage.
