[QUOTE="Ed Snible, post: 3132022, member: 82322"]Click Search, in the left combo box select Denomination, in the right select Obl. Click Search. 58 obols pop up, from Price 3A (Amphipolis) to 4011 (uncertain mint). If you have the standard Zeus reverse you can select Zeus as a deity and click Refine Search to see examples of 50 types. Nearly all have pictures. At this point just scroll through them looking for one with symbols similar to yours. Often they have a lot of examples. The PELLA site often has more examples than Price. I have a Price 3389 tetradrachm of Arados. If I type 3389 in the search box in the upper right corner I get a list containing only Price 3389. If I click on that number it takes me to a page with two examples. This is how I learned my coin is an obverse die match to “British Museum: 1857,1218.8.” That was important to me because my this coin is in an odd, fat face style instead of the usual heroic style.
