Watch List notes:

Ancient Coins, A large collection of late 19th/early 20th Century electrotypes of ancient Greek and Roman gold, silver and copper coins, most comprise separate obverses and reverses and are placed side-by-side in a deep front, stacking Lincoln mahogany cabinet (handles missing), with some complete coins, and a number of signed 'Robert Ready' electrotypes, all in 'as made' condition and attractively toned, cabinet included (692)
This superb set of electrotypes contains nearly 700 separate pieces, most of which bear the obverse and reverse designs of exceptional specimens from the British Museum and other institutions. Almost every significant coin from the ancient Greek series appears here, including copies of decadrachms from Syracuse, Akragas, Carthage and of Alexander the Great, as well as gold pieces from Ptolemaic Egypt and the Hellenistic World. A substantial number of Roman Republican denarii are also represented, as well as important gold aureii. The silver plated specimens have toned magnificently in the mahogany cabinet. This encyclopaedia of the most exceptional ancient coins, in electrotype form, is a marvel to behold and will surely attract much attention.
Please note this item is for collection only.
