Dear Board,
After a long lapse, I am finally back to give some
RPC updates. I was recently corresponding with Andrew
Burnett and he
had this to say about the latest scheduling saga:
"The current plan is to try and get the Asia part of V online (V.2) for the Warsaw conference next year; and the rest of VI also sometime in 2022. In terms of printed volumes, next year should see VII.2 (the rest of VII) and after that IV.4 (which is only Alexandria – enormous enough for a volume on its own). So we’re gradually getting there...!"In a followup to this, he added:
"Maybe add that [
RPC]
VIII in print will be next after the others."
The time, therefore, is
still not overripe for submitting
new coins for possible inclusion in probably any of the
RPC volumes mentioned above. I know I have a lot of unpublished material waiting to be properly cataloged and submitted. But none of the coins have to be new discoveries in terms of
type or variety. Even known ones that are
rare or special in some way are more than welcome!
It is a humbling, but nice feeling that some of the world's leading numismatists care and are truly interested in what we collectors and independent researchers collect and study. Let's reciprocate by caring what they do and take a
part in their historic
work!
Best regards,
