<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3649731, member: 19463&quot;]What do you expect from a small book listing the Greatest Hits of coins?&nbsp; If there were a comprehensive listing of all ancient coins, the book would weigh a ton.&nbsp; Coin Talk is honored to number among its contributors Raisel Suarez who published a huge book ERIC II which made an attempt to get most of the coins but illustrated few and missed some of my absolute favorite Roman Imperial coins.&nbsp; Sear made a big mistake listing any Alexandria Provincials opening himself up to criticism for not including them all.&nbsp; There is a more comprehensive listing available (Emmett) which could be turned into a great work with the addition of a few thousand photos aloowing it to be a great resource for those who want to spend over $1000 on a book.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sear, Suarez, Emmett and a hundred other books are great resources for what they are and what they cost.&nbsp; None is the be all end all reference for ancient coins.&nbsp; Not even Coin Talk is that (but we are trying). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
