[QUOTE="Suarez, post: 3720205, member: 99239"]Yeah, I'd rather pull my hair out thank you! (but glad there are enough people dedicated to decoding this for the benefit of others) User friendliness in numismatic catalogs seems to be an aspect that's downright frowned upon. Like you're not worthy if you don't break out a sweat. I remember when I first picked up a copy of LRBC I thought that Carson actively hated collectors and deliberately obfuscated so only the True Anointed could partake of his wisdom! I think in many ways Cohen back in the 19th century was the first to make a concerted effort in making Roman coins accessible to the general public. He was a visionary ahead of his time in this respect. Rasiel[/QUOTE]
