Yes!
I have all four volumes now and I really like them. I spent the holidays updating my Taras
collection, at least as far as dating which is now
much more specific. The attention to fractionals is unprecedented in my knowledge, and the diobols are looked into quite deeply, both from a numismatic point of view as well as the economic role this series
had on the entire region.
I found a few errors, but nothing major. One description was of the wrong plate, etc. One interesting entry showed the plate coin as being gleaned from an
auction in 2019 but which has been in my
collection since 2013ish.
Giving up the
Vlasto priority was a huge jump for me, but I'm happier now that the chronology is sorted. Now I
still need to rewrite all those descriptions.
Being retired means
new coins will be fewer and much further between, but the upside is I can finally get caught up on all my
gallery homework. (if I could
still read. When did they start using smaller, fuzzier
type?)
