They address different types of information. If you just want a coin ID number, you can get along without Sear or RIC because you can find ID numbers in many places on the web. If you want to <b>understand</b> the development of Roman or Greek coinage, or understand Roman provincial coinage, you cannot do better than buy the books by Burnett (<i>Coinage in the Roman World</i>), Carradice and Price (<i>Coinage in the Greek World</i>), and Butcher (<i>Roman Provincial Coins</i>). They explain coinage in a way that web sites do not attempt. By the way, vcoins often has them for less than Amazon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
