<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3302095, member: 19463"]I guess what I find objectionable is copyright laws. Each time someone writes a book they feel the need to create a new numbering system because books that don't simply do not sell well. Just once I'd like to see someone use the old numbers from a previous standard reference but I assume that would bring a lawsuit from the person who first applied that number to that coin. Seaby's Roman Silver Coins did this with Cohen numbers. I would have been happy if RIC had ordered their coins as they did by mints but shown the prime number for a coin according to Cohen and added a suffix that defined the series and mint information that Cohen ignored. Of course this has problems when it comes to correcting errors and adding new finds but I'm not convinced it would have been worse than what we have. </p><p><br /></p><p>Neck beards: I worked for 20 years for an operation that required shaving. I left them over 30 years ago and have not shaved since about this time in 1989. Laugh if you wish. I have a neck beard but it is hiding behind the rest of the hair. I try not to judge people by their hair. I'm sure Gallienus was as fashionable in his day as the Beatles were in theirs. I wonder if they would have starved to death if they had neck beards rather than mop tops? </p><p><br /></p><p>This guy looks pretty stupid, right?</p><p><img src="https://kellyepperson.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/albert-einstein-quotes-technology-940.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
