<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3786650, member: 19463"]I got a lot of good out of the Sear Greek books but you need to realize one thing about the books. The author attempted to list a few coins from as many places as possible but only did multiples from the really major cities/periods/varieties so you are not always going to find exactly matching coins to the ones you have. Overall, Sear has a lot of information that will help you understand the coins but it is not a catalog of great depth in any one specialty. I can not imagine a better use of so few pages when trying to cover the whole subject. If you just want information on Greek coins as a whole without catalog numbers and prices, I also like Rynearson</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Collecting-Ancient-Greek-Coins-Rynearson/dp/0794825567/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=Greek+coins&qid=1571394607&sr=8-10" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.com/Collecting-Ancient-Greek-Coins-Rynearson/dp/0794825567/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=Greek+coins&qid=1571394607&sr=8-10" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Collecting-Ancient-Greek-Coins-Rynearson/dp/0794825567/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=Greek+coins&qid=1571394607&sr=8-10</a></p><p><br /></p><p>and Sayles volume II</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Coin-Collecting-II-Numismatic/dp/0896895165/ref=sr_1_42?keywords=Greek+coins&qid=1571394661&sr=8-42" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Coin-Collecting-II-Numismatic/dp/0896895165/ref=sr_1_42?keywords=Greek+coins&qid=1571394661&sr=8-42" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Coin-Collecting-II-Numismatic/dp/0896895165/ref=sr_1_42?keywords=Greek+coins&qid=1571394661&sr=8-42</a></p><p><br /></p><p>There are also a couple of books by Jenkins.
