<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 943128, member: 26302"]Like others have said, RIC stands for Roman Imperial Coinage. It was started in the 1920's and was not finished until the 1980's I believe. Since much of it is so old, they are systematically redoing the volumes. Of the original ten, Volume one has already been revamped, (about 1983 I believe), and the first part of volume 2, (labelled 2.1) was printed last year. The reason I mention this is to be aware if you buy the old volume 1 it is NOT the RIC number that people will refer to now.</p><p> </p><p>To look up a coin, you would have to know the RIC volume that deals with that Emperor, then look for the number listed.</p><p> </p><p>As for cost, they can range from a low of $75 to a high of $210 per volume. Sometimes you can get a little better used price than that. A complete set used would go for about $1400 as a pretty good price. Right now a "complete" set would include the second edition of Volume one, but not volume 2.1 unless stated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

To look up a coin, you would have to know the RIC volume that deals with that Emperor, then look for the number listed. As for cost, they can range from a low of $75 to a high of $210 per volume.
