Being relatively new to 'Ancients', my initial reaction was "If the moneyer didn't put it there, get it off.", but as time has gone by I have...
I never heard of 'Trigas'. (I checked and I don't have one, either.) Thanks R.S. (Another coin to be on the lookout for.)
Go with what I have, and save myself some work. Thank-you all, very much, (all who proffered an opinion). (Magic pencil?)
Dilemma. I have a few coins with sandy deposits on them and I am in two minds as to whether I should 'clean' them (distilled water and toothbrush...
Good idea. 400 Pixels x 400 Pixels is best, (as was pointed out to me by another member). Yes, smaller photos aren't "in your face" as much....

Thank-you, Ken. Although I do not have Varbanov, your input gives me a lot to work with, Thank-you.
No joy under 'Caracalla' either.
Sorry. Even with your help, my luck is no better. ' Ae coiled serpent' got me one Greek coin and two Roman coins (none with a coiled serpent on it)
@> TIF - I haven't had much luck using CNG before, so I have 'shied' away from it, but with your advice I shall give it another go. Thank-you TIF...
I am having difficulty attributing this coin. I believe that it is a Provincial of Caracalla, but I am finding it hard to locate a reference to...
