<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2042566, member: 19463&quot;]Rehman is a PhD thesis with a long section on coins.&nbsp; If reading the whole thing is beyond your interest, the pdf pages 207-232 (different from the index pages in the table of contents) can be printed out and read more easily for those of us who prefer paper in hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sorry you chose to take my comment as an attack.&nbsp; I can not see how the statement &#039;not use Mitchiner any more&#039; is in any way appropriate.&nbsp; Faulting the one page in Mitchiner for not being &#039;Tye&#039; quality is faulting apples for not being oranges.&nbsp; Mitchiner is a catalog of very general nature and not the specialized work that Tye attempted.&nbsp; I stand by my comparison with Sear.&nbsp; Mitchiner is a general overview of ten thousand specialties not an obsolete work not to be used &#039;any more&#039;.&nbsp; Covered in Rehman level text with appropriate added plates, Mitchiner would be several thousand volumes rather than three.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I stand corrected on Tye&#039;s drawing not being individual coins but&nbsp; I will have trouble accepting these drawings without having seen photos of the coins on which they were based.&nbsp; What part is &#039;idealization&#039; and what part is actually there?&nbsp; I assumed these idealizations were assumptions based on other coins.&nbsp; I would love to see photos of the jital examples Tye shows in his book <b>Early World Coins</b>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
