<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7976563, member: 19463&quot;]Exactly!&nbsp; Wildwinds is a great help if your goal is understanding but the problem comes when it is used to &#039;farm&#039; catalog <i>numbers</i> rather than understanding.&nbsp; ANY resource that provides photographs and readings of legends is wonderful but anyone who accepts the ID&#039;s of even the best sources without critical reading is likely to make an error here and there.&nbsp; Wildwinds corrects errors when they can but using even the original references in hand requires some practice and problems increase whenever the numbers are copied and copied again. </p><p><br /></p><p>Long ago I posted a page on using RIC:</p><p><a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/idric.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/idric.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/idric.html</a></p><p>but it really only addressed using RIC VII and VIII.&nbsp; Using the other volumes would have required a different skill set. I do not expect the full set of RIC volumes ever to be revised and printed as books on paper.&nbsp; The future of some volumes really is better suited to the online form as used by Monnaies de l’Empire Romain / Roman Imperial Coinage AD 268-276 <a href="http://www.ric.mom.fr/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ric.mom.fr/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ric.mom.fr</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
