I'm selling off some books from areas that are outside of my current focus. They are also currently listed on eBay, and links are included to the eBay listings, where there are additional images. The prices listed here are the prices I have them for on eBay, but I am open to offers by PM. Also, if you buy here outside of eBay and save me the 10% eBay fee, I'll pass the 10% onto you! Shipping cost by Media Mail will depend on weight (USA only).

Ducatoni, Piastre, Scudi, Talleri e Loro Multipli - I Romani Pontefici
by Girolamo Spaziani Testa
$32.95
http://www.ebay.com/itm/201577348045
This hardcover book provides a listing, with descriptions and line drawings, of the large silver coins issued by the popes. This is the second book in a set (the first volume, not included here, covered coins of the House of Savoy). Published in 1952, it is still a useful reference for anyone interested in these exquisite artistic masterpieces. The binding is cracked, though all pages are still tightly bound. As shown in the images, there is wear to the covers and the interior pages are yellowed with age. At the end of the book, tucked into a pocket, is a brief valuation and rarity guide.

by Juan R. Cayon
$295.00

Three volume complete set of "Los Sestercios del Imperio Romano" by Juan R. Cayon. These books list the large bronze sestertius coins issued under the Roman Empire through the reign of Caracalla. There are a huge number of coin images throughout the volumes, oftentimes with multiple coins illustrating one listing. After each emperor there is a concordance to RIC, BMC, and Cohen. The text is in Spanish. The books are all in great, like new, condition with clean interiors and tight bindings. Dennis Kroh gave this set three and a half stars and noted that they "feature the most beautiful bindings of any numismatic work."
