Does anyone have a copy of any of the 7 books (or brochures) from the Tyrant Collection? 0

[Zebo]

If so, what do you think of them? $10 for each of the seven books. Pick and choose?

He just disclosed his identity, right ?  His claim to fame is lots of high-end coins I believe.

Go for it....I have a small number of Auction Catalogs.

Reminds me of the 100 greatest books, a lot of eye candy with a small amount of information. Nice to have all of them handy to compare in one book, I guess.

Outside of Roger Burdette's Saints book, for current information on Saints the best thing out there is the auction archived over at HA which basically is a compendium of all the auction catalogs of recent vintage.

Still like reading Bower's book on DE's and Akers/Ambio on Gold Coins, but those are both dated.

I have the Seven Pillars of Wisdom but not the Seven Books of Tyrant.

Also, have this book, and to be honest, it's a pretty interesting one. I try to read books of different genres as often as I can because reading is good for self-development. Also, it is important for me to have good writing skills, and reading is one of the keys to success. Not long ago, I needed to get the help of https://paperell.net/scholarship-essay-writing-service because I faced writing troubles, and using the scholarship essay writing service I thought would be the best idea. But still, I can't use such help each time, so that I read a lot, practice a lot, and I'm sure I'll improve my skills.

In this case, saying only that his claim to fame is “lots of high-end coins” is still a gross understatement of the nature of his collection and the care he has taken with it.

Owner of the collection has apparently been a faithful custodian of the coins, and has also shared some of the visual excitement of the coins with collectors. Those actions are to be commended.

Not the one for world coinage.  It's a bizarre list with a lot of undistinguished coins in it.  I don't own it but have seen the list online.

How are the images - high quality? About how large are the images? I’m mainly interested in the THE TYRANTS OF THE THAMES booklet and maybe the US Type book.

thanks

Maybe you should check it out and stop selling it short.

...difficult to actually compare those collections...their goals were/are not the same...the simpson collection is replete with known rarities etc, while the tyrant collection is predicated on the finest known aspects of collecting...having viewed both, my observation is that if a novice collector or even a non-collector would view both collections they would be more impressed with the tyrant collection for its attempts to capture numismatic perfection, viewing the coins is overwhelming...when viewing coins from the simpson collection the viewer almost has to have some knowledge or appreciation of the rarity of specific coins to fully grasp the significance of the scope of the collection...both r immensely impressive in their accomplishments...further, one has to consider that the simpson collection was heavily promoted as it was/is being sold whereas the tyrant collection is not on the market...as for the media, they wouldnt know a significant coin collection if they saw one n couldnt accurately describe it if they did....

Thanks for the links.....I never "sold it short".....I just haven't seen as much media focus as on other high-end collections and/or purchases.

Tyrant collection is a lot more comprehensive because it includes a large number of non-US coins.  Of those I know, it's the most equivalent to prominent collections from the past though not as broad.

I have been trying to find someone who has them or knows where they can be found, but so far I am unsuccessful. If you know where they are please let me know. Thank you! I would also like to suggest you to visit link where you will be able to find the real reviews about resume writers for help in your resume.
