Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 10/22/2014 03:51 am There are a few CDs/DVDs listed on ebay containing PDFs of coin identification books, including BMC and RIC. Does anyone have one of those? And if yes, which one and how good is it? Report this Post to the Staff

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 10/22/2014 05:09 am I have RIC. Series of PDFs they are not searchable so you have to trawl through them. Have some others, also PDFs usually written in the 1800s and hard to read. Report this Post to the Staff

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 10/22/2014 09:50 am I thought my copy was really old. I have just had a look and it is 1984. Oops. Report this Post to the Staff
chuy1530 Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 10/22/2014 1:56 pm I bought one of the sets that had a bunch of old out of copyright books (I think some were late 1800s and most were pre 1930) which are sort of cool to look through but not particularly useful for identification. A few were searchable though which was nice. It was from "treasure hunters" or something. You can get ERIC from their website legally. I think you can get the old edition for free and the new one for money. Report this Post to the Staff

It's the same as fake coin listings...Ebay is not aware until you notify them. I have done this several times, they will investigate and end the auction if they agree it is a violation. The person then just starts a new auction and the cycle repeats...Ebay might even eventually ban them but then they just start a new account. Report this Post to the Staff
Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 10/22/2014 6:22 pm Thanks for all the feedback. 'chuy1530' is that (the) one which has dozens of old books including BMC? And how many of those are 'searchable'? Report this Post to the Staff
Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 10/22/2014 9:10 pm Everyone was telling me to buy some 'reference books' so I bought . . . Greek Coins and their Identification by Richard plant, and I bought THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ROMAN IMPERIAL COINS - By Rasiel Suarez, and Coins, Medals Numismatics Tokens Collecting Guide Manuals, and ROMAN SILVER COINS by H.A.SEABY ( VOL 1 + VOL 2 + VOL 3 + VOL4 + VOL5), and I bought ROMAN COINS AND THEIR VALUES by DAVID R.SEAR - (VOL1 + VOL2 + VOL3), and BYZANTINE COINS AND THEIR VALUES by DAVID R.SEAR and, Coins of British Oceania by Robert L. Clarke, and, Model T Ford + The History of Cars Motor Cycles (Ooooops!) And now I am told that a number of them might be in violation of copyright, and those that aren't are hard to read without trolling through the whole thing? Bah! Humbug! I think I'll go and buy another car. Edited by Topcat7 10/23/2014 12:29 am Report this Post to the Staff
