"In these time, when the science of numismatics stands in danger of losing its status as an engaging hobby because of intensified speculative elements which have been injected into it, the study and collecting of ancient coins can be a rewarding occupation... Even the casual reader of ancient history will know that Athens, during the fifth century B.C, was the shrine of knowledge, the most remarkable arena in all history, past or present, for the demonstration of human capabilities. And Greek coins are a part of this culture.". Fine with No Dust Jacket as issued .
