Corpus Nummorum Italicorum. Primo Tentativo Di Un Catalogo Generale Delle Monete Medievali E Moderne Coniate In Italia O Da Italiani In Altri Paesi. Vols. I-XX complete. (Undated copies of 1969 Forni reprints of 1910-1943 originals. All bound in matching blue leatherette, gilt). Over 11,000 pages and 679 plates. This set is either a bound, nicely photocopied set or a print on demand set. The size has been reduced by about 15% from the originals and the quality of the plates is not great, but even as such this is still a useful set. The bindings alone has to close $30-50 each as some of these are quite thick. A nice set for someone who want to really use a set, without having to buy an original set for $7500 or a Forni Reprint set for $2500. Very Fine condition.
