[QUOTE="Paul M., post: 2430010, member: 73165"]I get a lot of mileage out of Wildwinds for checking attributions. So far, every coin I've bought has been (correctly!) attributed by the seller, but I'm waiting for the time when I can snap up a rare but misattributed coin for peanuts. :) I know your review of it isn't uniformly positive, but I bought ERIC II partially for the coin pictures and the relative rarity/eBay price index. I think it's a substantial piece of work (in more ways than one! it must weigh 20 pounds!), and well worth the tradeoff of not buying another coin or two to get it, even though it was somewhat pricey. OTOH, this is also why I'm not rushing out to find the volumes of RIC that cover the period I'm interested in. Most of the info is easily available online for free. Meh, the hardest part about "coin Latin" is remembering the abbreviations. :)[/QUOTE]
