<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1730187, member: 19463&quot;]The catalogs were intended to sell coins not to serve as easy references over twenty years later.&nbsp; As a result it can be hard to find coins that match your holdings even if they were in the collection.&nbsp; However, there were so many types that many coins we see might not have been included so it would be nice to own the standard references like Dattari and Milne which I have never seen.&nbsp; I have always resisted buying books that cost as much as the total of the coins I own that they cover.&nbsp; This may not be a good plan.&nbsp; I see there is a used Milne online for $858. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll tack on a few of my Alexandrian coins which most of you have seen before.&nbsp; I failed to find them in a quick scan of the two catalogs here.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH]270078.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]270079.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]270080.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]270081.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]270082.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Of them, I find interesting the Antoninus Pius / modius obol which is struck with the reverse on the tapered side of the flan while most of these coins used the flat side for the reverse.&nbsp; I have not studied that enought to know if it is unusual or just a sign of my not paying attention.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
