<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2369739, member: 26302"]I agree. I find all of the internet search listings having multiple failings. I go to Wildwinds and find misattributions fairly commonly. The only reason I happen to find them is if I own the book they are attributing from. There is a LOT to be said of editorial control, and that is what the internet lacks. If a dealer sells a certain coin as BMC 126, then it doesn't appear that anyone looks up BMC 126 and make sure the dealer was correct. This fact, plus what Valentinian talked about, is why I like books. Many/most were written by serious numismatists, men and women I would trust their word over most dealers. Then, this writing went through an editorial control process, and was usually also read by other noted numismatists, so most errors were caught before publication. Therefor, I simply TRUST this information more than most information on the web.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
