<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1297285, member: 26302"]Matt, I would just suggest there is immense pleasure at going over and grabbing something like Roman Coins, (World of Numismatics), and reading the documentation of coinage in Rome, looking at all of the beautifully photographed coins. Or grabbing Sears Byzantine coins and their values and rereading coin types produced, and flipping through and finding a type you have never seen. My Antinous I bought from a junk box was because I recognized it from a book, my Ostrogoth same story. I am eyeing a couple of coins on Ebay right now I am not sure how many people appreciate how rare they are, all because of my books. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Books used just for attribution are kind of boring, (yet necessary at times). Even RIC has some really great information in them, besides their use as an attribution tool.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
