Ruzicka Die Munzen von Serdica

Today this very exciting book arrived.  An original edition of Die Munzen von Serdica by Leon Ruzicka, published in 1915.   The inscription is why I had to have it.

Dear John and Board,

Whoa!  What an incredible find indeed!  And it is so nice to see someone who was able to write so neatly and proficiently by hand.  A dying art and life skill these days. 

Earlier this year, I was very fortunate (or unfortunate?) to have stumbled upon a mass of books, catalogs, and personal literature from the late Gregory Brunk's library, most of which were offered essentially unattributed by a certain numismatic firm.   I suspect I was motivated in the same way as you were in obtaining items of such a special and unique nature!


Best regards,

Mark Fox

Thank you Mark!  It's my new favorite book! It's like holding a piece of numismatic History!  My wife and daughter both complimented the author's penmanship.
