Description
18th Century Scale Quartet. Very Good to Fine. An important offering of 18th century European coin scales. An iron and brass scale and three weights are housed in a rectangular wooden box with rounded ends, measuring 6.7 x 2.3 x 0.9 inches, with a decorative lid marred by residue at the left end. The clasps on this box are broken. An early 18th century scale is housed in a wooden box measuring 4.1 x 2.3 x 0.7 inches. This interesting scale has one round pan and one triangular pan, and has six accompanying coin weights, three with images. The third scale in this quartet is iron and brass, with nine accompanying coin weights. A chart inside the lid is faded and water stained, with a translation in Eric P. Newman's hand. The fourth scale is French, with a soiled orange leather covering and plush interior, housing a brass scale, three Louis d'or weights, and two ducat weights, suggesting a late 18th century-production.Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
