Dealer Frank S. Robinson, of Albany, NY, will sell his personal collection of Vietnamese cash coins in an auction closing March 17. The collection, assembled over nearly half acentury, comprises 383 different coins, including many rare and choice pieces. They will be offered individually, with an option to bid for the entire collection.

Vietnamese square-holed cash coinage began in the Tenth Century and ended in the 1926-45 reign of Emperor Bao Dai - the world's last cast cash coinage.

The sale, with every coin photographed, will be found at www.fsrcoin.com/Vietnamcash.html. The website (which will remain accessible after the sale ends) should also serve as auseful catalog of Vietnam cash coins. It cross references several other published works (Schjöth, Toda, Barker, Novak, Craig/Krause, and Miura Gosen).

Hard copies are also available from Robinson at Box 8600, Albany, NY 12208, phone 518-482-2639; e-mail frank@fsrcoin.com.
