The low relief on Liberty nickels definitely looks more modern, but the design still has a human quality about it. You can see that the coins were...
I have an edition of Sear's Roman Coins and Their Values, I think from the 80's. It's fine as a general overview - sort of a Redbook of Roman...

Gorgeous coin, congratulations on its acquisition! Roma seated appears in copious permutations throughout the Imperial Coinage, and she...
