Nic Pillar of the Community Philippines 1156 Posts	Posted 09/22/2013 05:09 am Hi, perhaps someone can recommend best reference book to buy specifically for ancient Greek & Roman coins with prices? and another book name for world ancients? the only reference books I am using now is Kraus, from year 1600 all the way to 2000 so when it's about ancients I am assuredly close to zero book recommendation please - Thank you!

Regarding prices, books are out of date by the time of print. Your best bet is to search for recent sales prices on ebay, cngcoins.com (use the "Research" tab), acsearch.info, etc. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 09/22/2013 07:07 am There is no Krause-like book for "world ancients". You need to buy specific books for each coin series: Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Axumite, Chinese and so forth. The Sear catalogues are the only published price listings for Greek, Roman and Byzantine coins that I am aware of. They cost about $100 per volume, and you'll need to buy two Greeks, one Byzantine and five Roman books to complete the set (though the fifth Roman one hasn't quite been published yet). The Sear Greek Imperial book is rather useless for trying to value specific coin types, so I wouldn't recommend it. Quite a hefty bill for Roman catalogues, if you don't really need to know prices. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Also, helvetica's RIC lists which have every single known permutation in designs for later roman coins. If you arent sure of designs and legends, you should start off using Tesorillo. All these are linked on the resources thread. Report this Post to the Staff
