antwerpen2306 Pillar of the Community Belgium 1194 Posts	Posted 02/07/2015 3:39 pm I am collecting ancient coins since 1969 .I tried always to have the most complete documentation as possible .Now with the internet ,it is quite more easier to find .I am handling this way : first I see in what I have (RIC , Crawford , for Roman ,BMC , Svoronos for Greek ...),then I check on internet and at last I look for references of books and go to the university library .If interesting , I scan the book or the chapters I want.How do you do?My problem is that I want the most possible for a coin before making a file of it .What is your opinion and how do you do ?

Over the years I established a reasonable collection of references by either acquiring books or making photocopies of some. Now with a lot of documentation available online, I rather check there first and then confirm by written documentation. Report this Post to the Staff
