Have you been wanting to buy coins, gold, or silver on the internet but aren't sure that it is safe? Your caution is justified, and that is why this book was written: To provide a glimpse into the deceptions and scams that are so prevalent not just on the internet but in the real world as well. Every fake coin that is sold undermines the integrity of our hobby as well as the values of un-graded coins on the open market. Are you able to identify a counterfeit silver dollar? Because of the high values of key date coins, forgeries are being made almost every day and peddled to unsuspecting victims who think they have the bargain of a lifetime. What about bullion? Are you able to tell a dishonest deal from a legitimate one? This guide will teach you how descriptions can be worded in such a way to mislead you into buying mere replicas and imitations with little or no real value. Unsearched coin lots; "Shotgun" rolled coins; "Estate" lots; "Miniature" gold coins and counterfeit tokens with little or no value; Altered coins; Graded vs. Ungraded coins; Gold Filled vs. Gold Plated; Choosing a refinery; Basic coin evaluation and grading; These are beginnings that open up lucrative opportunities for a sharp eye, yet to the untrained they become pitfalls: Wouldn't you like to be better prepared?

XIII. the Collection of the Society of Antiquaries Newcastle Upon Tyne
<p>A fully illustrated catalogue of over 1000 Greek coins in the collection of the Newcastle Society of Antiquaries, this publication offers within a single volume a remarkably full survey of the broad sweep of Greek coinage. The particularly rich collection held at Newcastle contains a number of important and rare coins, drawn from all areas of the Greek world, from Spain, Numidia and Carthage in the West to Greece, Asia Minor and the Levant in the East.</p><p>The Newcastle collection has its origins in the exceptional group of Greek coins presented to the Society in 1852 by Algernon, 4th Duke of Northumberland. The collection was further augmented in 1932 through the bequest of Mrs E. F. Streatfeild.</p><p>An important work of reference, this volume will be of interest to numismatists, coin collectors, and scholars and students of the archaeology and history of the Greek world.</p>

XII. the Hunterian Museum, University of Glasgow: Part II. Roman and Provincial Coins: Cyprus - Egyp
<p>This catalogue completes the publication of the great eighteenth-century collection of William Hunter in Glasgow University, an important stage in the British SNG project. It illustrates the remaining 2581 Roman provincial coins produced in the East from Cyprus to Egypt, about half of which were produced at Alexandria.</p><p>For over three hundred years the Roman Empire had no uniform standardized 'Euro'. In addition to the Roman Imperial coins, hundreds of provincial cities stamped symbols of their own cultural identity and civic pride on the coins they issued for local use. The coins published in this substantial volume offer a wealth of information about many aspects of local life in that period, including religion, architecture and administration.</p><p>Part I (978-0-19-726282-5&#x3b; 2004) published the coins issued in the West and Asia Minor.</p>

This is a most welcome addition to the SNG's cataloguing of the Ashmolean Museum's rich holdings, the first since Part IV appeared in 1981. It will be of interest to numismatists, coin collectors, and scholars and students of the archaeology and history of the Greek world.</p>
