[QUOTE="dltsrq, post: 5334020, member: 75482"]For Greek and Provincial, I love the "Catalogue of Greek Coins in the British Museum". All but 1 or 2 of 29(!) volumes are out of copyright and readily available to download online. For Byzantine, the standard reference is "Catalogue of the Byzantine Coins in the Dumbarton Oaks Collection and in the Whittemore Collection".

For Islamic, the standard reference is "Checklist of Islamic Coins" by Stephen Album. The current (3rd) edition is available as a free download at the author's website. For those who don't yet read Arabic, "Arabic Coins and How to Read Them'" by Richard Plant is very useful.
