<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2631462, member: 76086&quot;]I never did buy the Cohen set.&nbsp; I know, as a dealer I should (perhaps).&nbsp; When I first got started one could buy the set very cheaply. RIC was the new standard and few saw the use in obtaining outdated references in a language few could read.&nbsp; The advantages?&nbsp; Some volumes of Cohen were updated and published after RIC so they will include some very rare and interesting coins.&nbsp; I probably should have bought a set when they were cheap, but I see no need now.&nbsp; I have always been one to dispose of outdated references when an updated and better one was published, especially so when they cross reference to earlier works.&nbsp; Emmett&#039;s work on Alexandrian coinage is a good example. Do you need Milne, Dattari, ANS, BMC, etc when they are cross referenced?&nbsp; Only if they contain information which is not in that inclusive work.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, I am also a Bibliophile.&nbsp; I love books (uh, that&#039;s redundant), and for those which I see a use I buy them and use them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
