<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 3006896, member: 43872"]I would like to see similar technology used in a slightly different way. I collect, among other things, ancients, but my budget is very limited and I have a few low quality coins, especially late Roman Empire, that can't be identified because there is too little lettering and the various late emperors' coins were so similar. But just as a fingerprint can often be identified from a partial print, so each die, being individually made, should be identifiable by a partial face. Many of you do this for really rare coins just from years of experience. (I am amazed many times by how someone will id a coin and even die variety that I would barely recognize as a coin.) I would like to see someone build a database of ancient coins such that, for a very small fee, it would match these "orphans" to their time and origins. These small coins are not worth submitting to a TGP or other expert because, even with an ID they would be worth almost nothing. It would be time-consuming and expensive to build, but an online, submit-a-photo, automatic computer match, once established, would cost next to nothing to use and could charge only a little and still make good money. Such a system could also id known counterfeits, again something not really doable through the TGPs if the genuine coin would only be worth less than the fee.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
