EARLY MEDIEVAL AND ISLAMIC. Guide to Biblical Coins, 4th Edition. David Hendin (Nyack, New York, Amphora, 2001). The expanded fourth edition of the most widely used practical reference for ancient Biblical and Jewish coinage, produced to serve both beginning and advanced collectors while preserving the familiar Hendin numbering system used in earlier editions. This edition is the most complete at the time of publication, listing more than 550 different coins with substantially enlarged text and significant new material, and it is especially strong as a hands-on attribution tool thanks to 38 pages of photographic plates illustrating more than 500 coins and weights. Long valued in the trade and by collectors as an everyday desk reference, it compiles decades of Hendin?s field experience and research, with valuations evaluated by the professional numismatist Herbert Kreindler, and remains one of the key gateways into the coinage of the Holy Land for collectors who want both clear identification and reliable context. Paper cover with light wear and shelf dust, original book cover is in great condition, overall VG from many years of use. 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.
