<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2548362, member: 76086&quot;]Part of the problem with misattribution is the internet itself.&nbsp; People have become lazy.&nbsp; They dont buy books anymore.&nbsp; They all want the information free and instantly accessible.&nbsp; When a misattribution gets into the system it becomes part of a database, one which will never go away and likely will never be corrected.&nbsp; I never trust any attribution for any coin.&nbsp; I always check it myself.&nbsp; Just yesterday I was working on a coin of Vespasian.&nbsp; The reference was of course wrong.&nbsp; How many people realize there are two versions of RIC Volume 2?&nbsp; The latest is a revised edition, but one still needs both volumes as they now cover a different spread of emperors.&nbsp; And many dealers are now making the same mistake.&nbsp; Why go to the bookshelf when one can just do a quick search of the various databases?&nbsp; Because those databases are frequently wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
