Hi y’all, Recently picked up some Spanish cobs and they are a bit worn and damaged. So, I could use some help getting a date range, a mint and if...
Right I was using that. Is that good for Greek coins too?
Thanks so much. I find it so difficult to sift the archives to figure out which is which. I was looking for an hour for the winged victory variety...
Can anyone provide a RIC number for these ? They haven’t been attributed.
Thanks for the resources. I often have trouble IDing properly. But I will certainly try these two sites out! I’m excited to have these in hand.
Hi y’all, So, I’ve been on this ancient kick. I got a nice lot of silver ancients coming in. Can you guys ID the exact type? And perhaps tell me...

Thanks. I will look into that resource. That’s very interesting. Perhaps it’s the same assayer. Amazing how they just left this info out....
Thanks once again, Robin for such a detailed and amazing response. My coin weighs 12.41grams. I was leaning toward assayer P. It really is too...
