<p>[QUOTE="Keith Twitchell, post: 3649596, member: 83799"]I do think it is fair to say that, given the number of mints and engravers and the number of different coins minted, that Sear is an excellent but not comprehensive resource, and that virtually no resource can be comprehensive. As just one example, I enjoy Alexandrian coins, and I frequently find coins that Sear lists but not for the regnal year indicated on the coin. I agree with the preceding comments that knowing a variety of sources, checking and cross-checking them, and applying your own knowledge and observations is a good recipe for success.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
