[ca. 1985?] Monete della Zecca di Milano, 255 numbers, 29 pages including 14 plates; with Anno III, N. 8 (April 1991), Monete e Medaglie per Collezione, 267 numbers, 43 pages including 1 colour and 22 b&w plates; with Anno III, N. 10 (September 1991), Libri e Cataloghi di Numismatica, 30 pages; with Anno IV, N. 14 (November 1992), Monete e Medaglie per Collezione, 110 numbers, 16 pages, including 9 plates. (17x24cm) Printed glossy white card covers as issued, slight shelf wear. Near Very Good.
A note from BCD: Massimo Rossi is probably better known to most for his Aretusa and AstArte auction series and of course for the important sale of his numismatic library. Nevertheless, these scarce early lists already reveal a young man with deeper understanding than most in anything connected with numismatic books and especially auction catalogues. There are a total of eight plates of ancient coin photos in these lists, the majority of them Roman. Reading his auction catalogue offerings and the way he prices them in his literature list is also quite revealing.
