One of the big US
auction houses has been auctioning off the Weise
collection for what looks like a couple months now, and many of the coins are very high condition, many are very
rare, etc. lots of
Roman imperial, some Hellenistic, etc.
In the specialty areas I collect, it has included coins I’ve never seen before, some uniques
not in ric or the big
museum collections, etc.
I
had not heard of this
collection before but based on what is posted in the sales it looks to have mostly been put together in the 2000-2005 timeframe.
The size and
quality of it would have cost a
king’s ransom to build in just 5 years with prices at that time.
Anyone know who Weise is or was? Was he/she a member here?
