Why are some Van Arsdell Reference Numbers not given fully in the Celtic Coin Index?
There is no information available as to why some coins are fully catalogued by Van Arsdell number, and some have only the root number. would suggest you look at each specimen, and make your own judgment regarding whether there are difficulties with condition or viewability of vital design elements, or other issues at play. As the Celtic Coin Index Online is meant to encourage further inquiry and research, the data, including the cataloguing, should not be seen as final, but as part of the ongoing refinement of the study of the subject.
