<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1967773, member: 26302&quot;]I would use the Kunker volumes over internet research. The problem with the internet, (and a lot of people do not get this), is lack of editorial oversight. There are no fact checkers on the internet, so every bit of information has to be weighed against the source. I have literally seen dozens of coins that just I am aware of being misattributed. It seems one dealer misattributes it, then this error is copied over and over by others. I saw this attribution all over the place, but I have the source book, and guess what? They were all wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>THis is why I like to use sources I know I can trust. A really good auction catalog from a reputable dealer would be one of these, as would reference books like you mention. Btw, there are only 3 volumes of the 14 currently published. I only own the 6th-10th century one, as my interest in European Medieval coins wanes after that timeframe except for Byzantine and close Byzantine types.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
