tjaart:
That is a nice little library! Most of my books are still in storage as I have to finish my new bookshelves.
Victor:
there are 7 more shelves for Roman Imperial and the rest are for various histories and assorted numismatic topics like Byzantine or Sassanian coinage.
Roety:
About books, been using google to lookup coins from uncleaned lots and others I have purchased or I seen online. (using vcoins, ebay, ma-shops, coinarcives, wildwinds,etc)
I read there are official records on some like the RIC "Roman Imperial Coinage" books.
I see many say they don't use their books, so what's the best "search reference" for buying and pricing out there.
I fear that using vcoins and ma-shops as a pricing reference may not be accurate if basing it on listed not sold prices?
ebay looks to me to be a better place to buy than to sell, seen many silver denars selling for under $10.
On ebay a guy is selling the RIC on CD I think https://www.ebay.com/itm/132839390536?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack=true
is there a website with go search for RIC #s on it?
Followup or rather correcting myself, I saw the links page Victor put up, I just downloaded some RIC excel pages, will click around there for a few weeks
Thanks

In my first post I said "though I really don't use them very much." but note that I am talking about Roman provincial books in this topic. My main interest is Roman Imperial, which is why I started a Late Roman Bronze Coin forum.
I use Roman Imperial coin books almost every day. Below is a picture of the whole bookshelf...the provincial books are on the bottom, the rest are mainly Roman Imperial, with a few Roman Republic and Byzantine. One shelf above my computer is for the most used-- RIC.
