ORDER OF SALE:






 

Dear Collectors and Friends,

 

 

Welcome to our first specialized book sale since 1994. We have produced 11 Auction sales catalogs and were have been very busy doing coins. Thus, we are happy to have found the time to put together this fine offering of rare out-of-print and antiquarian tomes. Generally they fall under the broad rubric of Russian numismatics, including Russian language books on Ancient Coins and other topics. The Polish and Russian numismatic sections is likewise strong and important, highlighted
by Hutten-Czapski’s personal copy of his Russian work.

 

The books have been somewhat arbitrarily categorized with no cross-referencing, so I suggest that you study carefully all the sections. Enjoy and happy reading.

 

 

Dmitry Markov
