Description

Coins Found at Corinth

Edwards, Katharine M. CORINTH. RESULTS OF EXCAVATIONS CONDUCTED BY THE AMERICAN SCHOOL OF CLASSICAL STUDIES AT ATHENS. VOLUME VI: COINS. 1896–1929. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1933. 4to, original crimson cloth, gilt. xii, 172 pages; 10 fine plates of ancient coins. Near fine. Very scarce. Daehn 544: “A catalogue of the coins found at Corinth. Includes ten silver coins and 286 bronze coins of Corinth, as well as many autonomous and provincial coins of other Greek cities. Also includes coins of Corinth as a Roman colony and Roman, Byzantine, and later coins. Most of the types found are illustrated in the plates. The coins now reside in the Numismatic Museum at Athens.” Grierson 49. A Note from the Collector: This book proved impossible to find in the market during the ‘80s and ‘90s. This collector let it be known that he was willing to pay a very high price for it but to no avail. Finally, one was found and since that time a couple more have surfaced. It is still considered a very rare book in this collector’s opinion.
