Classical Numismatic Group Inc., Triton XV, Sessions 1 and 2 (3 January 2012). BCD Thessaly. 1000 individual and multiple lots total. Includes Prices Realized. Hardbound. (GR, RPC). (GR348).
These two sessions of CNG's Triton XV comprise the eighth and final auction of the BCD collection - one of the most comprehensive and impressive collections of the ancient coins of Greece ever assembled. Since the late 1950s, the collector meticulously scoured sale catalogs and dealer stocks, searching not only for choice specimens, but also the great rarities, which may only occur in well-worn specimens. For both its scope and depth, the collection as a whole is unsurpassed. It contained many new discoveries, as well as pedigreed coins from most of the major private collections, along with duplicates from many important museum collections. The resulting catalogs, through the scholarship of BCD, as well as the experts at those coin firms that conducted the respective sales, have become the new standard references for these regions, most of which have not been comprehensively surveyed for almost a century.
These catalogs, important as they are for the coins they contain, are invaluable for the collector's notes included in them. BCD's appreciation for the art of Greek numismatics, evident in the articles he has occasionally contributed to scholarly journals over the years, is particularly apparent in these notes, where he has free reign to express his opinions. They are, like BCD himself, disarmingly witty. Beneath that wit, however, is a wealth of important numismatic wisdom, gained through more than half a century of collecting, and offered in an unassuming fashion to anyone with an interest in deepening their knowledge of ancient Greek coins. Over the years, he has unselfishly made his collection available for researchers to use. Many of his coins are cited in their die studies and, as a result, the numismatic knowledge of one section of ancient Greek coinage has been greatly expanded by the generosity of this coin collector.
Since 2001, when the Corinthian section of his collection was sold by Numismatik Lanz, most of the major auction houses of Greek coinage have sold one of the regional sections of the BCD collection (see p. 5 of the catalog for a list of the previous BCD sales).
From A Note from the Collector (p. 7):
"When all is said and done, the time has come to say goodbye. [BCD Thessaly] is the 8th and last BCD auction and probably the one that represents him as a collector more than any of the past ones. It is hoped that the catalogue will be of help to dealers and collectors alike, also to the students and scholars who will decide to treat in depth some of the very interesting mints featured in these pages."

Handbook of Coins of Northern and Central Greece: Achaia Phthiotis, Ainis, Magnesia, Malis, Oita, Perrhaibia, Thessaly, Akarnania, Aitolia, Lokris, Phokis, Boiotia, Euboia, Attica, Megaris, and Corinthia, Sixth to First Centuries BC [The Handbook of Greek Coinage Series, Volume 4]. 2014. lxxviii and 563 numbered pp. Hardbound. (GR) (GR 333)
More than three decades have passed since David Sear published Greek Coins & Their Values, his revision of Gilbert Askew’s A Catalogue of Greek Coins published by B. A. Seaby in 1951. Since then, the field of ancient numismatics and the hobby of collecting ancient coins have changed so much that now Greek Coins & Their Values would require a complete revision to include all of the most current numismatic information available, list the many new types and varieties unknown to Sear, and determine an approximate sense of rarity for all of these issues. In order to encompass this new material and create a viable reference for the beginning and specialized collector, such a handbook would have to be more than the two volumes which Sear found necessary. As a result, Classical Numismatic Group is publishing The Handbook of Greek Coinage Series, written by Oliver D. Hoover, in a series of 13 volumes, each covering a specified area of Greek coinage with the first being The Handbook of Syrian Coins: Royal and Civic Issues, Fourth to First Centuries BC (Volume 9 in the series). This series is designed to aid the user in the quick, accurate, and relatively painless identification of Greek coins, while providing a cross-reference for each entry to a major work, which will allow the inquirer to pursue more in-depth research on the subject. The subject-matter of each volume is arranged chronologically for royal issues, and regionally for the civic issues; within each region, cities are listed directionally, depending on the region. For those rulers or cities that issued coins concurrently in all three metals, these issues will be arranged in the catalog with gold first, followed by silver, and then bronze; each metal is arranged by denomination, largest to smallest. Each entry will include a rarity rating based on the frequency with which they appear in publications, public and private collections, the market, and/or are estimated to exist in public or private hands. No valuations are listed, since such values are generally out of date by the time of publication. An online valuation guide at www.greekcoinvalues.com will allowing interested individuals the opportunity to gauge the market, and reduce the need for repeated updates of this series. Whether one purchases the entire set for their reference library, or the individual volume pertaining to one’s area of specialization, The Handbook of Greek Coinage Series should provide a useful staging-point from which collectors and interested scholars can pursue their research and interests.
The latest published volume in the series is Handbook of Coins of Northern and Central Greece: Achaia Phthiotis, Ainis, Magnesia, Malis, Oita, Perrhaibia, Thessaly, Akarnania, Aitolia, Lokris, Phokis, Boiotia, Euboia, Attica, Megaris, and Corinthia, Sixth to First Centuries BC (Volume 5 in the series). Beginning in central Thessaly with Achaia Phthiotis, this volume moves clockwise around that region, covering the various tribal issues, followed by the coins of the Thessalian League and the region's various cities. From Akarnania the catalog moves eastward along the Corinthian Gulf to the heart of Central Greece and the Isthmus of Corinth, ending with Tenea. The coinage within each region and city is arranged chronologically, beginning with the Archaic issues and continuing through the later civic issues in the name of Alexander. Coins are arranged in the catalog with gold first, followed by silver and bronze; each metal is arranged by denomination, largest to smallest.

The second published volume in the series is Handbook of Coins of the Southern Levant: Phoenicia, Southern Koile Syria (Including Judaea), and Arabia, Fifth to First Centuries BC (Volume 10 in the series). This volume is arranged geographically from north to south with each region’s city entries in alphabetical order. The coinage within each city is arranged chronologically and begins with the royal issues during the Persian Empire (as is the case with the cities of Phoenicia), through the issues of Alexander the Great (both lifetime issues and those later civic issues in his name). Where rulers or cities issued coins concurrently in all three metals, these issues will be arranged in the catalog with gold first, followed by silver, and then bronze; each metal is arranged by denomination, largest to smallest.

From the book's synopsis:
Published by CNG. Dealer inquiries invited.
Postage and handling rates shown on web generated orders do not apply. We will confirm postage and handling upon receipt of order and confirmation of shipping method.
"This comprehensive guide to the coinage of the Aegean Island of Thasos begins with an overview of the overview of the island's complex history, from its colonization in the early seventh century BCE through its incorporation into the Roman Empire in the first century CE.
The author then examines the coinage of Thasos – its history, coin types, weight standards, denominations, and rarity ratings. In addition to his own experience with the coinage, the author draws upon the latest research of renown experts Georges Le Rider, Olivier Picard, François de Callataÿ, Ilya Prokopov, and others – much of whose research was published in French and appeared in hard-to-find journals.
The author then presents a catalogue of 66 coin-types traditionally attributed to. Thasos – some previously unpublished – from their beginning circa 530 BCE until the end of coinage at Thasos under the Roman Emperor Caracalla in 217 CE. Using the latest research, 14 of these types are now revealed to belong to a common system of coinage, produced by multiple communities, and circulating in what the author calls the Thracian Monetary Zone. The remaining 52 types belong to Thasos.
All known varieties of each type are listed, including 200 from The Titan Collection – perhaps the most comprehensive collection of these coins, and supplemented by coins from museum collections and the private market, resulting in 410 distinct listed varieties.
A thorough bibliography of important references for the history and coinage of Thasos is included, as well as a guide to commonly seen forgeries.
This book will be an essential guide for any collector, dealer, or researcher who wishes to understand this scarce, complex, and fascinating series of coins."
