I realize this is an old thread, but none of the links I tried worked, specifically to the British Museum PDF files. The individual words link to the Forvm sales for coins or Numiswiki links, but I couldn't get to any PDF files. I didn't try them all.

Thanks,
Virgil

The "links" you tried probably are not links. The BMC PDFs and other titles in the Library of Ancient Coinage are in NumisWiki. Click the blue text Library of Ancient Coinage to find the links.

The plates in the BMC pdf files are mostly quite bad.

For some BMC catalogs you can find better scans of the plates, made by Ulrich Werz, on academia.edu
