[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 3162313, member: 41219"]In between the insanity of work and home, my son and I were able to sit down and work on another coin this afternoon. He knew exactly where to go and what to look for. It was awesome! I let him control the computer and navigate the site until he found what he was looking for. It only took him 15ish minutes to find the coin on tesorillo. We then went to wildwinds for further identification and that's where we had some issues. This being a city commemorative that was minted under several rulers, it was hard, nay impossible, to find. We looked high and low and he was about to give up. Then we googled it and boom - realized that wildwinds has it's own city commemoratives page. After that it was smooth sailing and he was able to find the coin in question. I present to you all, my son's latest identification :) Constantinopolis Commemorative AE follis 330-333 AD CONSTANTINOPOLIS, helmeted bust left No legend, Victory standing front, looking left, foot on prow, holding sceptre and resting left hand shield Mintmark BSIS [ATTACH=full]812056[/ATTACH] He has two more to ID before his game is over. He has had a blast so far and has learned so much.[/QUOTE]
