  1. This is an ugly but interesting coin. It was overstruck, but what's off is the iconography on the obverse. The cross between the two figures was used at Antioch. However, the globus cruciger was not a feature of that mint. Also, the figures don't seem to be seated and they are not even (the left is higher) neither of these things is unheard of but all in all it makes for an odd coin.

  2. L Forrer, Biographical Dictionary of Medallists (9 vols., 1904-1930, reprinted 1987)

    G Kienast, Goetz II: A Supplement to The Medals of Karl Goetz, Volume II

     

    I have four other copies of the Kienast book but they are tough to get a hold of so I grab them when I can.

     

    Both lots were won at the recent Charles Davis auction.

    What do you do with the extra copies?

  3. I just picked up some old books myself. Original editions of Roman Imperial Coins Vol.I and Vol.II as well as History of Jewish coins, printed in Leipzig in 1862. To round out my lof there's a more modern book, Grierson's Coins of Medieval Europe. I got this from the ANA library and had trouble shippig it back. For $80 it's an awesome book about that time period.
