<p>[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 1817651, member: 31620"]I can only echo Doug's comments. Anyone interested in this series can try and start with RIC and BMC but both these are severely deficient in their treatment of this series though BMC is better than RIC. A study of this series would have to start with an analysis of RIC in BMC to determing their relative shortcomings. An attempt to fit in oddities (II COS, II C, II CO etc.) into the chronology would be beneficial. Referencing out to Arnold, Kelly and Bickford-Smith would greatly expand the coverage. Barry Murphy's website documents the coins that he had in his collection and is invaluable. There are then a few of us who specialise in these series who could flesh out the missing bits. It then depends on how detailed the analysis should get. RIC, RSC and BMCRE include the PERT, PERET and PERTE legend varieties for the IMP series. BMCRE covers several legend break variations too for both obverse and reverse. I did start a project some years back to try and collate as much of this together to put it on the web but the project ran out of steam.</p><p> </p><p>Martin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
