Also included is the sole volume of the ANS’s Numismatic Notes and Monographs Sculpture Series, on The Work of Mrs. Clare Sheridan, a rare volume. Condition varies, with some being ex library copies, others being worn, but most being very good to fine. A mostly complete set of this most important series of specialized monographs, written on a wide variety of numismatic topics. Only missing two numbers: Nos. 8 (Perez on the Philippine mint) and 35 (Bellinger on anonymous Byzantine bronze coins).

Particularly rich in works on ancient coins, the series also includes a number of titles on medieval and modern numismatics, American coins, orders and decorations, coin hoards, and other topics. Many if not most titles remain standard works in their respective fields. The series includes, for example: Newell’s Alexander Hoards; Newell’s Seleucid Coinages of Tyre: Vlasto’s Tarentine Numismatics; Gillingham’s works on orders and decorations; Milbank’s Coinage of Aegina; Noe’s Mende (Kaliandra) Hoard; Noe’s Coinage of Metapontum; Ravel’s Colts of Ambracia; Valentine’s United States Half Dimes; Bellinger’s series of publications on the Dura hoards; Noe’s Thurian Di-Staters; Newell’s Seleucid Coinages of Tyre; Bullowa’s Commemorative Coinage; Gillingham and Scott’s series on counterfeiting; Milne’s Kolophon and Its Coinage; Noe’s series on the coinages of Massachusetts; McKay’s Early American Currency; Miles’s Early Arabic Glass Weights; Grant’s Aspects of the Principate of Tiberius; Miles’s Rare Islamic Coins; Bedoukian’s Coinage of Cilician Armenia; Morrison & Grunthal’s Carolingian Coinage; etc. Grierson 19.
