A note from BCD: Comparing the contents of this collection to any collection of Roman coins formed during our time can be quite interesting. The accent here is on unusual and rare reverses, mostly on bronzes, with condition being not so important. A vivid example of how collecting trends can change in just over half a century. There are a couple of coins marked as false by the previous owner of this catalogue.
