<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7997880, member: 19463&quot;]I found 2,3,4 quite useful back when I had not yet got the corresponding BMC or RIC books.&nbsp; They still come in handy with their Cohen arrangement and concordance making it easier finding the coins in those books.&nbsp; I never owned 5 since there were so few coin in my price bracket that it covered. I kept both the 1967 and 1978 editions of volume 1 because the older book had excellent line drawings that I liked better than the later photos.&nbsp; Unfortunately the 1967 book did not give Crawford references (for the obvious reason, Crawford came out in 1974).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I find &quot;that outdated identification method&quot; using families as good as any other if you have the index of inscriptions on page 162 of the 1978 book.&nbsp; It strikes me as one of those things where people who already know the series are at a huge advantage over those just starting when it comes to finding new things.&nbsp; It takes a while before you are comfortable separating earlier from later designs so you can find them easily.&nbsp; My answer to that was to look at plates of a collection catalog like the Washington University book.&nbsp; Even if it lacks rarities, I still find it useful but some sellers ask too much for it now.</p><p><a href="https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?isbn=&amp;an=herbert%20kevin&amp;tn=john%20max%20wulfing%20collection&amp;n=100121501&amp;cm_sp=mbc-_-ats-_-new" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?isbn=&amp;an=herbert%20kevin&amp;tn=john%20max%20wulfing%20collection&amp;n=100121501&amp;cm_sp=mbc-_-ats-_-new" rel="nofollow">https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?isbn=&amp;an=herbert kevin&amp;tn=john max wulfing collection&amp;n=100121501&amp;cm_sp=mbc-_-ats-_-new</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
