<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 11633365, member: 10461&quot;]Sometimes you have to play with your keywords a bit to get the right search results.&nbsp; Oftentimes you&#039;ll end up with something close, but not quite right.&nbsp; But if you put country/denomination/date (or as much as you know) into the search bar, along with &quot;Numista&quot; or &quot;NGC&quot;, you&#039;ll often get pretty close.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or if you don&#039;t know the country or denomination, you can put part of the legends in there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Case in point: this Netherlands jeton I got last year.&nbsp; When I first got it, I only had a few clues about it.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/netherlands-copper-jeton-80-years-war-beheading-scene-1596-dordrecht-mint.401133/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/netherlands-copper-jeton-80-years-war-beheading-scene-1596-dordrecht-mint.401133/"><font face="Georgia"><font size="5"><b>Netherlands: copper jeton; 80 Years War, beheading scene, 1596, Dordrecht mint</b></font></font></a></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/01-frame-png.1522120/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>But by taking the Latin legend off one side, SIMVLATA PAX EXITIVM PARIT, and searching that in Google, one comes up with its Numista page as the sixth result (note that this is without even putting &quot;Numista&quot; in the search phrase).</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a rather esoteric piece that only just happened to have a Numista page at all- a lot of stuff like this won&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if you do the same search, my own writeups and forum postings about it will be the top search results in Google.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
