<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2158624, member: 19463"]To me, that is the point. There are so many, many things for us to know about our coins that are more important than some number that most of us can not understand (tell me the difference between a 123a and 123b, don't just copy the number). I would love to see RIC issued as a single volume with expanded chapter headings and summaries of the issues without the laundry list. I do feel I benefit from looking up the coins and trying to understand the reasons for the sequencing and I am glad I own the RIC volumes I do (I never bought I-III because I have BMC for those years). I recommend them to anyone who wants them bad enough to spend the money even though they are full of what I consider faults and strange decisions. What you should get out of any book is information, not numbers. </p><p><br /></p><p>Write a book on any segment of the coin hobby but don't include a numeric listing of types and I guarantee a poor seller.
