<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 5173312, member: 19463"]When Victor Failmezger published his book on late Roman coins, I agreed to do the photos if he would include a CDR of the plates which was done for the first rtun but most people saw no need for the things. Today, I believe the best answer is a book with no photos but a link to online photos. If someone wanted to do the work, I believe it would be great to have a website showing coins arranged by Emmett numbers drawn from as many sources as possible. A book with 5000 coin photos would be cost prohibitive but searchable (by number, ruler and reverse), enlargeable photos would be no problem if the coins could be found. The great advantage of that system is it is always possible to add new finds so the plates would never go out of date. Of course such a project would require cooperation of many people and that is never easy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
