| 070706974001 | August, 2007 | NEW! MONEDAS DE COLOMBIA, 1619-2006, 2nd edition, by Jorge Emilio Restrepo (2007). This is a compilation of all the author's previous works, including cobs, milled colonial, and Republican issues to the present, and as such it is an invaluable tool for anyone with an interest in coins made in Colombia. The information is accurate and up-to-date, with tables of values for all the post-cob issues, and photos of coins of each type—in short, a marvel of organization and clarity for a series that defies both! Spiral bound, limited printing (200 copies), 299 pages. Autographed by the author. | $85 each |
| 120605160001 | November, 2006 | 8 REALES COBS OF POTOSI, by Emilio Paoletti (2006). Beautifully hardbound with dust jacket, 402 pages, with tons of great photos, this is the much-anticipated English-language edition of Paoletti's esteemed work on Potosí cob 8 reales of all periods. Truly there is no more accurate reference on the subject today! A Spanish translation is also provided at the end (text only). Autographed by the author. | $95 each |
| 100608181001 | October, 2006 | THE MACUQUINA CODE, by Agustín García-Barneche (2006). A Spanish-to-English, English-to-Spanish glossary of over 1500 terms relating to cobs (macuquinas in Spanish) and treasure, a very useful guide (for even native speakers of Spanish often struggle with some of the terminology!). Not huge (92 pages, soft cover), but priced accordingly. Autographed by the author. | $10 each |
