A note from BCD: A "General" collection of Greek coins, in the old-fashioned sense of the word. The charm of it lies in the variety and balance of the coin types offered, something completely lacking in the so called "Collections" appearing today in the auctions. However, in only one of his collecting areas, this writer was able to spot four Christodoulos forgeries which are now residing in his Black Cabinet. Old fakes, nicely toned, can be very dangerous, especially if a hurried cataloguer does not check his coins for authenticity.
Schätzung: EUR 15
