<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 1805215, member: 57463&quot;]Well, yes, I get the point, but actually, handy standard guides do exist.&nbsp; The David Sear books -<i> Greek Coins and their Values</i>,&nbsp; <i>Roman Coins and their Values</i>, and <i>Byzantine Coins and their Values</i> - are taken largely from the huge British Museum Catalog and similar sylloges.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also the Red Book, while always close at hand here at my desk, is just a beginner&#039;s guide, really.&nbsp; Serious collectors own the specialty books.&nbsp; I have five books on Bust Halves - and I do not collect Bust Halves.&nbsp; The Cherrypicker&#039;s Guides are probably the best known for the US generalist who likes to look through a magnifier.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Again, I get the point: a new Red Book every couple of years and you are good to go. Can&#039;t do that with ancients... Still and all, books of all kinds are always the foundation of serious collecting of anything, including books themselves.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
