<p>[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 5342933, member: 74968"]Sear is almost useless for the Flavians. It is a fun volume but it leaves out too many types to be useful to anyone who specializes in this area. The volumes give a decent overview and they are very interesting to read. For me there are 3 that are my go to references. The most important one and the most up to date is RIC (2007). There re m ny coins in this volume that do not occur in any other reference. This is very helpful for identifying rarities. It does not give value but having this in a printed reference is not very helpful to me anyway since by the time of publication some prices would have changed. I greatly enjoy BMCRE and find it quite useful. I find that there are numerous cataloguing choices that differ from the authors of RIC. I also use RSC but find this somewhat less useful than BMCRE. I have all of my attributions cross referenced with these 3 sources and it works fairly well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
