This is the first book on this fascinating subject since Albert Frey wrote The Dated European Coinage Prior to 1501 in 1915. Levinson approaches the subject both differently and more thoroughly than Frey. The book focuses on the eight distinct regions in which coins were issued: Germany Southern Netherlands Northern Netherlands Habsburg lands Switzerland Scandinavia Italy France and organizes the known pre-1501 Anno Domini dated coins chronologically within each region. For the first time, there is for each of the nearly 1200 coins listed (twice as many as in the Frey work), the full legends, descriptions, ruler names, references, weights and rarity. There are nearly 1000 photographs and line drawings, an extraordinary undertaking given the extreme rarity of the majority of the coins. The book is in four parts: the first is a lengthy history of early dated coinage, including discussions of the types, metallurgy, classifications, etc. The second part is the 173 page catalogue of coinage, divided into the eight regions. The third part is a listing, again by region, of all the states issuing early dated coinage, with a history of each states coinage and a cross-reference to all the coins listed in the catalogue. The fourth part contains eight appendices with alphabetical listings, translations of legends, a photographic glossary of coin types, a listing of early dated coinage using Islamic script, and other useful information. Along with the book, at no additional charge, is a loose-leaf price guide. Large (A4) format, hard bound 284 pages
Second Edition By Neil S. Berman & Silvano DiGenova, Numismatists Statistical Research by Dr. Jason Perry, Financial Economist Boston Federal Reserve Bank
The first edition of this book was revolutionary in its approach to the buying and selling of rare coins. Collectors and investors were told that if they followed empirical models of price performance and investment return, not only would they profit handsomely, but their coin purchases would also outperform traditional investment vehicles. For this new edition, the well-known professional numismatist Silvano DiGenova and Dr. Jason Perry, Financial Economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, have joined the books original author, Neil S. Berman to fully update the contents, taking into account the steady acceleration in rare coin prices, changes in trading practices, the revolution in grading standards, and external factors affecting the buying and selling of coins. The result is a no-holds-barred look at todays evolving market that is indispensible to experienced collectors and investors as well as neophytes. Included is an extensive price history of all United States coins from 1955 to date, with notable auction results and listings of key dates. The numerous charts of data and illustrative graphs interspersed throughout will be useful to dealers and collectors alike in forming strategies to take advantage of what will be one of the great growth areas of the 21st century.
