<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 8053103, member: 82549&quot;]I have a few volumes of SNG, mostly of obscure collections. SNG is definitely the gold standard for Greek coin catalogs. But as [USER=73385]@tibor[/USER] wrote, there are over 100 volumes, so the price for the whole series is pretty daunting. Also, the SNGs are catalogs of different collections, so there is a lot of duplication, and it can be difficult to track down a specific coin if you don&#039;t know which collections to look in.</p><p><br /></p><p>The HGC series, on the other hand, is designed to identify coins, not illustrate collections, so it is easier to use. It&#039;s pretty complete, but of course with ancient Greek coins there are new discoveries made all the time. My guess is that once they get the last volume published it will be time to start working on new editions of the first ones published.</p><p><br /></p><p>At $65/volume ($130 for both parts of vol.3), it is cheaper than RIC. I&#039;ve been building my up collection of this series, one or two volumes at a time.</p><p><br /></p><p>My only gripe is that I wish they&#039;ve publish vol.8, since I have a lot of coins from southern Asia Minor that I can&#039;t find listed elsewhere.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
