<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3128059, member: 19463&quot;]I am 100% in favor of this idea and love the title &quot;You Should Know&quot;.&nbsp; I really liked Berk&#039;s book and that is why I posted my pages showing my favorite coins.</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favs.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favs.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favs.html</a></p><p>It&#039;s big fault is that all are my coins and my coins do not include most of the really &quot;Should Know&quot; coins because they are not in my price bracket or don&#039;t fit my very prejudiced specialty interests.&nbsp; Berk introduced and I adopted the concept of calling certain groups of coins a single coin.&nbsp; Therefore, of the 200, only one slot would go to Alexander tetradrachms or Athenian owls.&nbsp; There would be one South Italian incuse reverse coin and only one coin of any major category.&nbsp; Would it be the most spectacular and noteworthy coin of that category or would it be the common one available to everyone?&nbsp;&nbsp; I doubt we could agree on a list of 200 &quot;Should Know&quot; coins but it might be interesting to see what our various members would see as necessary.&nbsp; Ancients?&nbsp; Do we limit it to mainstream Greek and Roman or include&nbsp; Provincials, &quot;Non Classical&quot; Eastern coins or Byzantine?&nbsp; This book is getting big!&nbsp; It would be fun.&nbsp; Would it sell?&nbsp; At what price point?&nbsp; Should it be a single volume or split into obvious categories as is Sayles?&nbsp; I&#039;m starting to understand why this book does not exist.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
