<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1923241, member: 19463&quot;]Script languages to include Arabic, Nagari and cursive English vary a lot from hand to hand.&nbsp; Add to the mix the fact that some are not just legends but artwork loosely based on some concept of the legends and you may really have a problem.&nbsp; I certainly agree that the best answer is the drawing supported by a dozen examples of real coins selected to show not just the best but what one can expect to find in the market.&nbsp; Especially when dealing with issues that reproduce less than half of the die on any individual coin, there may not be a correct answer unless we are willing to turn a book like Mr. Tye&#039;s into a multi volume, multi $K set.&nbsp;&nbsp; I do find that looking at a drawing makes it easier for me to orient (define &#039;up&#039;) some coins with more accuracy than many photos.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
