<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2296006, member: 74282&quot;]I actually prefer dealers list as many references as possible because I own and refer to most of those references. With the Roman Republic, for instance, Crawford is the standard reference however Crawford doesn&#039;t always have historic information and things like that. For those you need Sydenham, BMC, RSC, etc. Crawford generally lists at least one other reference(Usually BMC) but it&#039;s nice to have the dealer list any they know as well because the first thing I&#039;m going to do when considering buying a coin is check the various references for information, look at the plate coins and go from there. When speaking with other collectors who focus on this series, the bronze especially, the references numbers are the best way to refer to specific coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, dealers quite frequently get Republican bronzes and the early Republican silver wrong, and that is pretty annoying when you&#039;re searching for examples of a specific series. I&#039;d much rather dealers not list references that they haven&#039;t actually verified.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
