<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 2605345, member: 75525&quot;][USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER]&nbsp; Missed this post, no comment only because I did not see the post. The half-life of posts on CoinTalk is about like Sodium-24, half a day.&nbsp; </p><p>I have the first one, 63 - 49 BC, and have quoted it here at times. I read over half of the book straight through. I skimmed the rest and read the chapter on coins I buy in that period. Most of the time, I see no new info, but the read is interesting.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did not realize the second book covered a different time period. I bought the second book today. </p><p><br /></p><p>My bookshelf includes about 20 books. Crawford is at the top of the list, but is not the only book I use. My favorite is Grueber, BMCRR. </p><p><br /></p><p>I collection in a spreadsheet. I sort it by Crawford&#039;s date / number. The spreadsheet uses the &quot;best guess&quot; data for most coins. The biggest change being due to the Mesagne Hoard which re-dated several coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>My current collecting focus is cast RR Central Italy, or much older. There are fewer books covering this period. Dating for these is also much less precise. The books I do not have are expensive, or in another language (or both).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
