IMPORTANT AUCTION CATALOGS OFFERING ARCHAIC AND CLASSICAL GREEK COINS

When visiting Doug Saville this week he let me know of an important 
article in a recent issue of The Celator. E-Sylum subscriber Dan 
Koppersmith of Tiki Island, Texas authored an article titled "Important 
Auction Catalogs Offering Archaic and Classical Greek Coins". Dan 
reviewed the catalogs of forty auction houses worldwide; his concise 
article identifies the auction houses and individual catalogs he feels 
best address the topic. He was assisted in his endeavor by Basil 
Demetriadi of Athens, Greece, who offered access to his essentially 
complete library of auction catalogs covering all ancient coins. 
Also of great assistance were George Kolbe and Doug Saville. In 
the introduction Dan writes: 

"There are literally thousands of auction catalogs offering Archaic 
and Classical Greek Coins, but there is no guide to inform the 
numismatic scholar or collector as to which of these catalogs would 
be a worthwhile addition to an excellent working library. This article 
is an attempt to rectify this situation, but only as far as Archaic 
and Classical Greek Coins are concerned, that is, Greek Coins from 
their origins down to the accession of Alexander the Great in 336 B.C."
