  Nice buy. Calbeto is my favourite reference. One of the best die listings for War of Independence insurgent / provisional mints out there.

  I was patient and got a relatively good deal, they aren't cheap though! You know it's going to cost you when the books are out of print, the original printing was 1500 and each one is individually numbered (mine is 628). Overall they are in fair condition, plenty good for my needs.
  
  I just wish the plate coin photos were a bit larger, but such is life with older numismatic references.

  Your set looks better than most. For some reason, it's hard to find nice copies of these books.
