<p>[QUOTE=&quot;joecoincollect, post: 4870522, member: 71338&quot;]Hello. I started less than a year ago with Roman Imperials, and haven&#039;t had too much difficulty identifying my coins (except really worn ones!). I&#039;ve obtained some Greek/Roman Provincials and cannot discern much about them. For instance, it&#039;s intimidating dealing with Greek legends, and many letters/numerals (?) are worn so I&#039;m left browsing page after page on wildwinds trying to locate the coins via thumbnail pics and it&#039;s no use. For instance, I have (I&#039;ll try and upload a pic later) a 19mm coin, female head on front with no legend, back has a crescent moon with star inside. Legend on reverse is unintelligible to me. The female may be Artemis, Selene, Luna--I have no idea. When I googled moon images, other coins with similar reverses come up but not mine. Not sure why wildwinds primarily searches Greek coins by City/region since I have no idea where any come from. I found another website I think on ANS but it seems to be down, so I can&#039;t search by figure, etc. Sorry for the long explanation, but I don&#039;t have anyone to ask besides here. One last question, how do I know if it&#039;s Roman Provincial or just a ancient Greek coin pre-dating Rome&#039;s empire? I&#039;m guessing the coin aforementioned is just Greek, since it doesn&#039;t have a Roman emperor, but I&#039;m thinking this may be wishful thinking. I got many volumes of Sayle&#039;s books, but haven&#039;t read the Greek one yet. Thanks if you read this far.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
