<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Snible, post: 3786932, member: 82322&quot;]I counted the number of types in Rutter&#039;s <i>Historia Numorum: Italy</i> and compared it with <i>Sear Greek Coins and Their Values</i> for Italy.&nbsp; Sear had only 18% as many types listed as Rutter.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can tell you are a visual guy who likes impressive things.&nbsp; There are no impressive coin catalogs in color.&nbsp; The impressive catalogs you want are the folio-sized SNGs.&nbsp; (I encourage everyone who has no folio-sized SNGs to purchase at least one.&nbsp; <i>SNG ANS VI: Palestine-South Arabia</i> is cheap.)</p><p><br /></p><p>You will feel great going to your shelves and pulling down a giant book full of Greek coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The plates on the original paperback SNG folios have the best pictures.&nbsp; If you can afford them you should get them.&nbsp; High quality plates do not tire the eyes the way reprint SNG plates do.</p><p><br /></p><p>The easy Folio-sized SNGs to get are SNG ANS Palestine, SNG Copenhagen reprint, and SNG von Aulock reprint.&nbsp; With a little work you can get SNG ANS for Italy and Sicily and SNG ANS Burton Berry.&nbsp; The original SNGs for Copenhagen and von Aulock are better but you have to wait for a book auction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
