SNG Newcastle

New Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum Volume: The Collection of the Society of Antiquaries Newcastle Upon Tyne. The authors are Andrew Meadows and Roderick Williams.

110 pages, 48 b/w plates, "over 1000 coins".

The contents are searchable at http://www.sylloge-nummorum-graecorum.org/ along with many of the other British SNGs. This is the first SNG with results appearing in color on the web site.

Some of the coins appear quite worn. I will be curious to see the level of photography in the paper version of the catalog.
