AUCTION CATALOGUES and FIXED PRICE LISTS . Parke-Bernet Galleries, Inc. New York, 16-17 October 1968. Coins of Ancient Greece and Rome and a Series of Early Italian Coins from the Collection of the Late Edward T. Newell of New York, sold by order of the Heir. 412 lots, 34 pages, 13 plates, prices realized list. (15x23.5cm), printed dark ochre card covers as issued. Near Fine. CS 1980
A note from BCD: The name of Edward T. Newell does not need an introduction to an ancient Greek coin savant but to own one of his coins would probably be a rather special privilege, quite unique in its own way. The illustrations suggest that Newell liked to work where possible from coins rather than casts or photos and as a result, and thanks to his wealth, he amassed large numbers of Alexander and Seleucid tetradrachms for his studies. It is some of these that are sold in this catalogue, the remaining went to the ANS.
Schätzung: EUR 5
