<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4899637, member: 19463"]Coin Talk has a separate Ancient section where you would be more likely to get help if you posted decent photos there. Some of the members there do not collect modern coins (say after 1500 or so) so do not read the World Coins section. </p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/forums/ancients/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/forums/ancients/">https://www.cointalk.com/forums/ancients/</a></p><p>There are a million variations on coins made between c.600 BC and c.1500 AD. No reference book has them all. Some are really rare as in one or two known. At my level, if I go a week without seeing something new to me just from postings on Coin Talk, I am probably not paying attention. Ancient fans tend to like that part of the hobby but people who insist on complete, certain and easy catalog referenced ID's often tire of the subject and leave. Still, 99% of the coins you will see are from the most common thousand or so types so the chance of getting help is pretty good IF you provide a good photo and all the information you can (size, weight etc.).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
