<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2079477, member: 19463&quot;]Lets also realize that RIC was intended as a scholarly work and not a guide for collectors.&nbsp; Some issues even bridge the gap between volumes.&nbsp; Perhaps the worst examples are the Urbs Roma and Constantinopolis commemoratives which come from several mints both before and after the death of Constantine the Great which is the separation point between RIC volume VII and volume VIII.&nbsp; There are coins that are not obvious on first look even which volume might contain it.&nbsp; Perhaps we should expect someone using a set of books that costs $50 to $150 a volume to be willing to put a little effort into learning how they work. When quoting an RIC number, I often prefer to give the page number rather than the mint name but, in fact, I really should be giving the volume number along with either of those quotes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
