<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orielensis, post: 3776886, member: 96898&quot;]I very much understand this point and would like to second it. At the same time and on the notion of very costly reference books, which was rightfully pointed out above, I&#039;d like to mention that the wonderful ANS websites effectively constitute reliable online versions of some of the most expensive standard reference catalogues. In my opinion, the following websites can be used as a veritable and free alternative to the printed reference works when checking dealer attributions:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/" rel="nofollow">OCRE</a> (Roman Imperial) is basically an online RIC with images.</p><p><a href="http://numismatics.org/crro/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/crro/" rel="nofollow">CRRO</a> (Roman Republican) is an online Crawford/RRC, though the book contains a lot of valuable extra information and is thus still worth buying.</p><p><a href="http://numismatics.org/pella/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/pella/" rel="nofollow">Pella</a> (Macedonian kings) can be used as an online Price.</p><p><a href="http://numismatics.org/sco/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/sco/" rel="nofollow">SCO</a> (Seleucid) follows Houghton/Lorber/Hoover: <i>Seleucid Coins: A Comprehensive Catalogue</i> and can be used as a substitute for the book.</p><p><a href="http://numismatics.org/pco/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/pco/" rel="nofollow">PCO</a> (Ptolemaic) is still under construction but follows Lorber&#039;s yet unfinished <i>Coins of the Ptolemaic Empire</i> more or less parallel to the publication of the volumes of the printed catalogue.</p><p><br /></p><p>This does of course not cover all collecting areas – but at least some of the larger ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
