The Numismatic Chronicle 1880

The Numismatic Chronicle 1880 is the annual London volume cited as NC 1880. This volume comes from a period of expanding museum cataloguing and increasingly comparative work on Greek mints, kingdoms, legends, and metrology. It combines formal papers with brief communications, discoveries, book notices, and society records that document the evidence available to scholars before the great late nineteenth-century corpora. Search the contents for hoard and find reports: even a short notice may preserve a findspot, composition, date of discovery, or dispersal history not repeated elsewhere. For a useful citation, record the article author, title, page range, and plate rather than citing only the year.

Because the volume predates modern excavation standards, comprehensive die databases, and many subsequent hoard publications, verify dates, mint and ruler assignments, readings, and reported provenances against current corpora and the present location of cited specimens.
