[QUOTE="Herberto, post: 2174363, member: 74222"]I wanted a couple (or many) of Byzantines coins from different periods. Also the last centuries. So in order to do that I managed to find two byzantine coins from last centuries: one Theodore Lascaris and one Michael Viii Paleologus. It is a sear 2062 and 2290 according to my receipt. That sounds pretty correct as I can also see that at wildwinds.com – No problem so far. BUT for some few days ago I managed to find David Sear’s “Byzantine coins and their values” at the library. I could find or confirm my Anastasius, Justinian, Maurice or Manuel, but I can’t find that Theodore or Michael viii in that book. In that book Sear 2062 is a “St. Demetrius”. That is a clearly contradiction as in wildwinds it is a “Theodore”. In that book Sear 2290 doesn’t exist as it ends with a Sear 2260 which is an extremely rare coin of the last emperor during the fall of Constantinople. What have I done wrong? That Sear book I have borrowed from the library is dated 1974. Is it outdated as there is some newer?[/QUOTE]
