Please don't post so many "please ID" posts in one wave, it's pretty annoying and knocks out other active topics. You'd do better having a few each in a separate thread.
As a rule, I usually ask people to post coins separately, too, because it avoids confusion about which coin is up for discussion. However, I have to agree with @Mat because you have, effectively, bumped other active threads, and possibly, even some new ones off the "Recent Topics" list by posting 10 threads in a row. As it stands now, people who are not interested in "Ancients" must sort through every forum to see what they have missed. May I suggest that, in the future, you limit your new threads to a couple to give others a chance. Thanks! Chris
See thread #1 for how to look these up yourself. It is not too hard with a little practice. Then you don't have to rely on other people. Post the ones that have you stumped with your best guess and you will get respect from people.
I am sorry everyone. I misunderstood what everyone was originally telling me. I didn’t want to annoy anyone
I think if you posted one or two coins per day no one would mind. You should try to learn to find them yourself, it is fun and satisfying.
I have tried looking for them. I found 7 and posted the other 10 I couldn’t find. My problem is that I don’t always know what to type to find them because I am new to ancients
You can post a maximum of 10 photos. If you merge both sides to each coin that's 10 ID's per post. Not to worry, my friend. We all like IDing coins and it's no problem.
Here are some beginner tools you can use as you play numismatic Sherlock Holmes: Ancient Coin Search: https://www.acsearch.info/ https://cngcoins.com/Coins_sold.aspx Vcoins: https://www.vcoins.com/en/Default.aspx You can do keyword searches, such as "Greek bronze horse" on all three sites. Once you've narrowed it down to a few cities, you can go to Wildwinds-- http://www.wildwinds.com/ --where you can search by specific cities for Greek coins or emperor. These are just to get you started. There are many specialist web pages that will come up in a Google search. I'm sure other collectors can suggest other sites. BTW, everyone, I was one of the people who suggested that Charles1997 post his coins as individual threads. I figured he would get more help that way. So blame me, not Charles. (Poor newbies. Damned if you do . . .)
There is no need to post ten coins together or separately all at once. The coins can be identified as we go along. If there is a rush which makes it necessary it all be done today, we have not heard the reason. Some of us do recall IDing several coins shown us only to see them on eBay within the week. We are happy to help those who need help. We have been used in the past. Meanwhile some of those coins need better photos. I am 600 miles from my books so will not be of much use even with the ones with good detail.
