<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8174369, member: 19463&quot;]Just an opinion: Those interested in this subject would be better advised to avoid those books and read Martin&#039;s posts on Coin Talk, Barry Murphy&#039;s old Septimius pages and, perhaps, the recently uploaded coins from the British Museum collection.&nbsp; I say &#039;perhaps&#039; because the BM chose to use a format that makes it very hard to use but they have some nice coins not as well presented as the other references mentioned.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding another controversial thread: There is a major difference between a &#039;serious&#039; resource and one that demands to be take too seriously.&nbsp; I am an amateur.&nbsp; That word means that I love my subject enough to do/study/post without considering whether I can make a buck on the process or whether the coins involved have a high enough market value to be worth my time.&nbsp; Read everyone; believe only after critical evaluation.&nbsp; For the Eastern Severans, the best paper resource is a stack of old sale catalogs and a thin pamphlet by Roger Bickford-Smith whose untimely death prevented what would have been quite some book had he been allowed to work these last 25 years. </p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone have an opinion on errors I made in my post here?&nbsp; </p><p><a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/mintalex.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/mintalex.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/mintalex.html</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Has anyone done anything remotely professional regarding relative issue dates or mint details of this series?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
