<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8179507, member: 110350&quot;]In some ways it&#039;s good that RCV V has more varieties, including what seems like a separate entry for each type for each mint. Much more comprehensive than some of the earlier volumes, and I find that I don&#039;t necessarily need photos if all the mint marks and abbreviations are clearly spelled out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I find that comprehensive reference works for ancients, like RSC, don&#039;t really concern themselves with the trivia of letter positions or legend breaks or the like. For example, the RSC chapter for Trajan categorizes each coin by, among other things, one of 15 different capital letters (A-O) for the 15 different obverse legends used, and one of 16 lower case letters or letter combinations for differences in the obverse portraits (left vs. right, barehead vs laureate, draped vs. draped on one shoulder vs. draped &amp; cuirassed vs. aegis, seen from front vs. rear, etc., etc.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
