<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GerardV, post: 2897866, member: 76329&quot;]By the time I post a coin here with an attribution I&#039;ve probably had it wrong at least once. Although [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] is dead on in saying it gets easier. Not that I&#039;m making a hugely profound statement by pointing that out. That said, I&#039;ve only seen a very small number of coins. So some limited sub-groups are easy for me to identify, and others coins are still like looking at an ancient coin for the first time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have the coins broken down into &quot;types&quot; by appearance, and purposely jump between groups so I don&#039;t allow the findings from one group to influence the others. Then there is the time spent on Vcoins, Augustuscoins.com, wildwinds, Doug Smith&#039;s site and several others (I don&#039;t want to miss a good site and insult someone here) just scrolling through coin after coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Asking questions is sometimes cheating in my opinion. Not that I haven&#039;t resorted to it at times. But, digging out the information on your own is the only way to truly learn, at least that&#039;s how I see it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin with the temple on the reverse that I posted to the architecture thread is a perfect example.&nbsp; My post points out that I think it&#039;s Phillip II on the obverse, and thankfully, nobody confirmed or denied it. I&#039;m going to figure it out and then post the findings here ( or at a new thread).</p><p><br /></p><p>As for using this thread for the Bag o Romans attributions, I&#039;m open to whatever makes it easy for everyone. My original plan was to keep it in one place as a running history of the event, going back to the actual give-away.</p><p><br /></p><p>And as a final thought to this way too wordy post, I can&#039;t thank everyone here enough for the continued support. I try to be mindful of everyone&#039;s time by not using PMs at the drop of a hat. My guess is, even if I did, the core group here would be too nice to set me straight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
