So do you think this CNG Catalog will become a reference like the BCD Pelopnessos I? Or are most of the types repeats?

Most of the types are repeats in lesser quality but a few are not! 921 lots is a huge number for this region of Greece. The Peloponnesos I catalog had 1775 lots. Although many of those lots featured multiple coins 921 more lots makes this a must-have companion to the first. The new auction features some rare pieces, like the only example of this facing Kallisto of Mantinea in private hands.
