bobh Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 I've been looking for this book for a long time now. Several times I saw it advertised for $200 or more, but I am now glad that I waited! Haven't received it yet, but I am sure it will arrive soon: Link to eBay auction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 I have found similar numismatic literary works at a mere pittance on eBay, which is justice considering the prices charged on Vcoins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than $30 for an original Severin silver is an outstanding value. I think I probably paid more than that for my copy when I bought it about 25 years ago. I'm astonished that the seller was willing to sell at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gxseries Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Well done Bobh! I still haven't bothered to look for one but if it's for 200USD, that's absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgorS Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Anything less than $100 is a good deal for this book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timofei Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Anything less than $100 is a good deal for this book. Just to give anonther idea - a Russian dealer offered me in Moscow this complete cataloge for 400$ claiming it is a real rarity and the price is just reflecting the rarity of this book. The reprint translated into Russian (second edition of the reprint) - is sold in Moscow at about 20$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gxseries Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 You know, today I made a shocking discovery - my local library had a copy of it in their collection!!! ;) And I wasn't even thinking that they would have some kind of numismatic collection. I was proven extremely wrong! (well thank goodness they don't have any Krause there ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gxseries Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 I'm not in the US unfortunately. I'm at Australia, which makes decent Russian numismatics quite difficult to find here quite recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry, I did not know you are not in the U.S. This info may be useful to U.S. residents only members of ANA. Books are sent to U.S. address only. This is the biggest numizmatic library in the world! WCO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
