<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3873478, member: 19463"]This book is not intended to be a complete listing of all Greek coins (that would take 10,000 pages at least) but to show a sampling of what there is. Some lesser cities get only one type while major ones are shown only with the <u>most common or popular ones</u>. Color, larger format etc. would just make the book more expensive and place it outside the target audience. New discoveries would fall outside the intent unless that discovery was so common in the market that it would be the coin most likely to be seen by the beginner. This was my first book on Greek coins and amazed me at how often the coin I had from a city was the one the author put in the book. </p><p><br /></p><p>We should mention there is a volume one covering Western Greek coins.
