<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 7976461, member: 118780&quot;]Obviously any citation using only ACSearch needs to be through consistent hits.

I often pick up coins for which there&#039;s really only one or two references - and those references specialize in that particular area. However, I only need one or two coins in those references. If I picked up every catalog for my coins, I would have spent nearly the same amount as on the coins themselves, and I&#039;d have a small library of books I&#039;d rarely consult.</p><p><br /></p><p>Similarly, for those collecting one of every roman emperor - does it really make sense to pick up RIC? IMHO that&#039;s only necessary if one specializes to all the coins from a specific emperor or some other way in which a single book will inform you on which coins you need to target.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
