Daehn 1917: "The collection is highly regarded for its fine, artistic specimens and broad scope. Also notable is the large group of Cyzicene electrum coins." Grierson 54–55. Kroh 10: "It publishes 2,348 coins ... all very high quality with many of the extreme rarities in the Greek series. Some of these coins were sold by Numismatic Fine Arts in 1980 ... and so one or two may now reside in your collection."
