[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 8179571, member: 19463"]I most certainly admire such an organized presentation of 800 coins even if it is something in which I do not specialize (144 in my general collection). I certainly agree it would be nice to have the images available for viewing more readily but I would prefer the existing individual images to the tray pictures which are not nearly as good as the images on Tantalus. I would like to the the existing second column expanded to include the name of the moneyer perhaps below the family name making what is now 'Calpurnia' into 'C. Calpurnius Piso', for example. This could be the expanded name or even just the name as presented on that particular coin (e.g. C PISO LF FRV or whatever it is on that example). I wish my coins of Septimius Severus were that well laid out for reference. I see your general collection outnumbers your RR 800 and it is all nicely organized as well. Thanks for all the effort and sharing it with us. That leaves one obvious question: When you have 800 coins of a specialty it is likely that you would not mind having the ones that are missing. Of the RR coins that you do not have, is there one that stands out in your mind that you would really like to have or, even, perhaps one that you know to be common enough that you feel 'odd' that you do not have one? I envy you having a reference like Crawford that you consider complete enough that you can use is as a numerical guide to your collection. My Eastern Septimius/Domna assemblage has only RIC/BMCRE which have less coverage of the subject that the last few years of Coin Talk posts.
