Kolbe & Fanning Numismatic Booksellers will be holding a Web Sale of selections from the extraordinary BCD Library on Thursday, July 31 at 12:00 noon Eastern Time. Our Web Sales generally focus on useful but lower-price books, catalogues and other numismatic publications, and this initial offering in this format of material from the BCD Library includes publications on a wide variety of topics, mostly pertaining to antiquity, all of which are listed with a starting price of only $10. The online catalogue can be accessed at
bid.numislit.com. There is no printed catalogue.
Along with more commonly available references, a number of rarities and other delicacies are included. Some highlights of this first Web Sale include:
