[QUOTE="Sulla80, post: 5334499, member: 99456"][I][B]Q: Can the BMCRE volumes available on the Internet Archive be downloaded?[/B][/I] Yes, archive.org offers a lot of download options: [ATTACH=full]1225705[/ATTACH] [I][B]Q: Is the coin database on the British Museum website, which I believe can be searched by BMCRE number, any different from what's in the BMCRE volumes in terms of the information available?[/B][/I] There is a lot of text in BMCRE that is not available on the British Museum site. Searching on the British Museum Collection site seems to have greatly improved recently (this year?) e.g. using my coin example from above Crawford 440/1 and searching for "[URL='https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/search?keyword=Sicinius']Sicinius[/URL]" now finds [URL='https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/C_2002-0102-4394']beautiful coin photos[/URL] of my target coin and others. However, searching by "BMCRR 3947", "3947", "3947 denarius", or "Crawford 440/1" doesn't do what I want to it do.[/QUOTE]
