<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carausius, post: 2746480, member: 76440&quot;]Milne has separate entries for coins of different weight and size because his book is a collection catalogue, not a series catalogue.&nbsp; He needed to list every coin in the collection, or it would merely be a &quot;collection summary.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; BMC catalogues do the same thing for the same reasons.&nbsp; I actually consider this of some benefit.&nbsp; Often when authenticating a coin, we ask &quot;what&#039;s the range of weight and size for this type&quot;?&nbsp; These days we can go to acsearch or coinarchives for such information.&nbsp; Internet wasn&#039;t an option when Milne and the BMC catalogues&nbsp; were issued![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
