The Numismatic Chronicle 1862 is the annual London volume cited as NC 1862. It belongs to the early new-series period, when longer regional and dynastic studies were appearing beside society proceedings, find notices, and reports on museum purchases. The volume is valuable for the transition from antiquarian description to more systematic classification by mint, ruler, and monetary standard. Reviews and notices of new books provide a contemporary map of the literature, often identifying offprints, catalogues, and foreign articles that are now difficult to locate through modern bibliographies. For a useful citation, record the article author, title, page range, and plate rather than citing only the year.

Because the volume predates modern excavation standards, comprehensive die databases, and many subsequent hoard publications, verify dates, mint and ruler assignments, readings, and reported provenances against current corpora and the present location of cited specimens.
