Classical Numismatics Books and References Discussion Forum / Re: Is Hoover Volume 2 Out of Print?

« Last post by DzikiZdeb on Today at 02:22:38 am »

Does anyone have any friends in CNG and could ask whether this useful series will be continued at all? 6 years have passed since the last volume was published, and when I asked CNG directly when the next ones would be published, they only replied that "they have no plans to publish them in the near future".

These are volumes 8 and 11 (and possibly 13 - no one has ever clearly defined whether the fact that the series is to consist of 13 volumes means 13 separate volumes, or that there are to be 12 volumes, including one double volume - the 3rd).

Denarek z Emesy wrócił po 22 latach i sprzedał się za 275$ (poprzednio 135$). Jak na ogólnie dobry stan monety i modę na różne tego typu nietypowości - bez szaleństwa.

Fake Coins and Notorious Fake Sellers / Confirming my suspicion about Trajan Dacian Trophy

« Last post by Paul B4 on Yesterday at 09:58:33 pm »

This coin was bought among my first coins from what I now know is a notorious seller of fakes.
The reverse looks especially "off" to my untrained eye.
Trajan

AR Denarius

With thanks.

You waited too long Virgil. The last copy I saw available (in an auction) sold for 160 USD at the end of 2023…

Sorry to revive this discussion, but am finally ready to get the book. The above link says not available. I cannot find it at any used book stores, either. Not on CNG book series page. Does it indeed exist? LOL.

Very nice! Also, the style seems official, and it's not a plated coin - with the wear it has, a bronze core would be visible.
