COLLECTING ANCIENT GREEK COINS
A Guided Tour Featuring 25 Significant Types
(From the November 2008 Whitman Review)
In Collecting Ancient Greek Coins, Dr. Paul Rynearson provides an engaging introduction to many diverse aspects of these fascinating relics. He offers an expert’s valuable guidance to what he calls the “highly personal” act of building your own collection.
In more than two dozen essays, Rynearson teaches important lessons in how to get started, how to evaluate quality and value, how to grade ancient coins, and how to catalog and photograph your collection.
He discusses forgeries in the marketplace, the risks of cleaning coins, and other concerns for the modern collector. He shares a longtime collector’s wealth of knowledge on coin types, denominations, classifications, and valuations; and a historian’s enthusiasm for coin hoards, famous collections and collectors of the past, symbolism and references on ancient coins, and favorite books for further study.
