<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 3451691, member: 31620&quot;]I thought it might be interesting to set an exercise for people in describing and attributing a coin. As part of the exercise I would prefer it is people don&#039;t look at references (paper or online resources) but simply use their ability to read a coin image to describe a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Start with denomination and emperor</p><p>then Obverse legend and obverse description</p><p>then Reverse legend and reverse description</p><p>if you think that you can attribute to a mint and date then go for it</p><p><br /></p><p>I am providing two images for the exercise. These are double die matches and there are issues on each coin that might prevent a full description without the other image so you might have to cross check between the images to finish. I bought the second example of this coin to allow such an exercise to be performed.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] - I would prefer if you sat this exercise out as I am absolutely sure that you know the full answer within a fraction of a second.</p><p><br /></p><p>I must admit that this might be a bit trivial for most members but thought it worth a try.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]917349[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]917350[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Martin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
