I came across this 82' TNA auction book at a used book store and I really like it. But, I don't know much about Numismatic literature.
Hi Phil. Funny coincidence, as I'd just mentioned a few posts above that I acquired copies of TNA sales 1-3 recently. They were lavishly produced catalogues. TNA was an
auction venture by Tradart, who continues to produce lavish
auction catalogues from time to time. Funny thing is I 'd never heard of TNA before I bought my lot, and suddenly they're everywhere! Yesterday, a certain numismatic book dealer
had an
auction in which TNA 1-3, all hardcovers, were sold as a group lot. Today, you post your chance find at a
bookstore. I imagine that the hardcover TNA sales must have a
good survival rate, as people are less likely to toss "books" in the dust bin vs. typical, softcover
auction catalogues.
EDIT: For those interested in the number of
Roman Republican coins in these TNA
auction sales: Sale 1 has the most - about 4 plates; Sale 2 about 2 plates; and sale 3 only 1 plate.
