But if you expand it to world and ancient coins, it will rapidly become a very difficult quest. </p><p><br /></p><p>When I come upon a citation I don&#039;t recognize for an ancient or medieval coin, I check here: <a href="http://www.cngcoins.com/Bibliography.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cngcoins.com/Bibliography.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.cngcoins.com/Bibliography.aspx</a> Just enter the &quot;code&quot; in the search toolbar and fire away.

If the code is the author&#039;s name, you can usually figure it out using this tool. <a href="http://data.numismatics.org/cgi-bin/libsearch" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://data.numismatics.org/cgi-bin/libsearch" rel="nofollow">http://data.numismatics.org/cgi-bin/libsearch</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
