Buy a cheap copy a couple of years old, (like the KM catalogs). For 15th-20th century, KM should cover it. For earlier European coins, you have to get specific as to country. For countermarked coins, I believe the author if Bruck. Quarterman reprinted it, but unfortunately you just missed the clearance sale his son had.</p><p><br /></p><p>Greek and Roman? Those are whole other animals. For Roman imperial, I suggest the 88 edition of Sear &quot;roman coins and their values&quot;. Best single volume on the subject. After that, there is a whole world of books. Greeks are particularly hard. Put it this way, I have about 650 books in my library on coins, about 600 on ancient coins, and I am no where near complete in my eyes. </p><p><br /></p><p>For Greek and Roman we really need to know what you wish to collect. For Roman, is it Republican, Imperial, provincial, from a certain area? All of those areas have completely different literature needs. Sear will be a start. He also did a two volume Greek coins and their values. While outdated, and a very tiny part of greek coinage, its a start.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
