Ancient Coin Collecting VI: Non-Classical Cultures

This book is a handy useful guide to know the items in Alabic. I think it is difficult to discriminate Isramic coins always. There are good guide books, however, they are old and heavy. So this series is very good to keep, for the biginners, especially.

Excellent collection for the neophyte coin collector.

Excellent

This set is great. I bought these for the history, and these books are geared to that aspect. If you are looking for a price guide for a collection this is not it. However they have about as much information as you can try to absorb. Author did great on these I even have one signed. I wish more authors would offer that. I have about 50 autographed history books in my collection and would buy more books if authors would do that.

I have bought and read almost all of the books in this series and definitely this is the one that satisfied me the least. In trying to squeeze too many cultures living in too broad of a time frame in just one regular sized book, the reader is just confused on the relation between the choices of cultures displayed. Most of the individual sections are just too short to show the coinage and much less the history of these peoples. One should approach this book as a long, long magazine article that presents some non classical cultures and just that. It is not even a book, as the others in the series are, that entices you to look deeper into the bibliography and that at least gives you the 'big picture'. This book only succeeds in confusing and making the coinage of those already almost unknown cultures a little bit more obscure.

an outstanding resource guide to collectors. a must read.
