2.0 out of 5 stars A mediocre successor to earlier editions, 2 April 2002
Having an interest in Roman Republic coins, I found this book a rather mediocre successor to it's predecessors "Roman Coins and their Values", 1988 edition, and the superb "Roman Silver Coins Vol.1" first published 1952, last updated 1978. Although listing many more coins than before, the listing is very unbalanced. For example hundreds of distinct varieties of early Republican silver are summarised in just a couple of pages with their prices rather uselessly indicated as "from ...". In contrast there are some 100 pages listing countless very rare varieties of the Republican struck copper series that most collectors will never see in a lifetime, together with spuriously accurate pricing for this notoriously illiquid series. It would have been better to have had a representative selection, including most common and a few rare coins, and to have reserved significantly more space in the book as a whole for illustrations, of which there are not enough. For the Imperatorial series this book has a quite complete listing but again not enough illustrations. I have given up referring to this book and instead look to my trusted old copy of Roman Silver Coins Vol.1, which illustrates and prices every variety in a far more compact form (the prices have to be adjusted up by some 50%, but that is easily calculated). I would recommend to collectors that they search for a copy of RSC1 on the second hand market rather than buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Roman Coins and Their Value II, 23 Nov 2002
By john m black (Watford, Herts United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Roman Coins and Their Values: Volume 2 (Hardcover)
As a new come collector to Roman coins, I found this second volume of David Sear's collection very usefull indeed.
The desciptions of the coins is concise and the many pictures aid identifying the coins.
The cost, at present, may seem alot, bt for the price of a fine coin you get a book that will allow you to place exactly the coins you have in your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars well written, informative., 5 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Roman Coins and Their Values (Hardcover)
A well written, comprehensive guide to those beginning a collection of roman coins. Includes a lot of useful background information and makes identification through reverse types and through obverse legends an easy task. Two drawbacks, though: a. of many types there are no foto's. b. collectors of greek imperial and byzantine coins will have to make do with other publications.
