<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2628003, member: 19463&quot;]I have not seen the 2005 set but there are differences.&nbsp; Volume V is advertised as a revision and my old set of IV and V came in two books (plates bound separately) which is not mentioned for the reprints.&nbsp; The ad I saw said they made an effort to reproduce the plates with continuous tones.&nbsp; By my standards, the original colotype plates were nothing all that special.&nbsp; I would really like to know details about the revisions made to volume V.&nbsp; It was terribly out of date regarding the branch mints.&nbsp; Was that improved? RIC was worse, IMHO. 25 years ago, I was able to get a group of &#039;security photos&#039; showing the actual coins in the BM collection for my interest areas.&nbsp; They were not cheap and had to be special ordered from the BM but included coins they obtained since the books were published.&nbsp; In the case of Easter Severans, that was double the number of coins they had before.&nbsp; Perhaps one of our UK members knows if you can still get these.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
