GREEK. Seleucid Coins: A Comprehensive Catalogue, Part I: Seleucus I Through Antiochus III, Arthur Houghton and Catharine C. Lorber (with metrological tables by Brian Kritt), two-volume set published by the American Numismatic Society in association with Classical Numismatic Group (New York and Lancaster, 2002), commonly cited in scholarship as SC I, and regarded as the standard modern corpus for the early Seleucid series, described as the first comprehensive treatment of this phase of Seleucid coinage since Edward T. Newell?s 1938 mint studies. Volume I provides the introduction, maps, and main catalogue (xxxix, 488 pp.), while Volume II supplies the supporting appendices, detailed indices, and a substantial plate section (300 pp., 101 photographic plates), making it especially practical for attribution work, die-study reference, and consistent citation across collections and auctions. Exceptionally fresh for long-term collector ownership, with only light shelf handling, tight bindings, and very clean interiors. From the personal reference library of David Allen, a well known numismatist, formed over more than 50 years and used as a long term reference for research, attribution, and catalogue work.
