[QUOTE="hoth2, post: 2878102, member: 74431"]Like Lacointessa said, sometimes attributing coins just requires a lot of patience. You know you've got a Constantine, and in the other thread you know you've got a Tetricus. I would go to their Wildwinds pages and browse Vcoins or Ebay and see if I can find a match. For me, this is half the fun of ancients (or a third, along with the hunt and the opening of the envelope), and every coin you research makes the next coin you research easier, since you've already looked at dozens or hundreds of coins while looking for the last one. I've had coins that I've held onto for more than a year without an ID. Sure I could've posted them here (and the people here are very obliging), but then I'd miss out on the thrill when I finally stumble across the coin while browsing auctions or when I finally come up with the search term that reveals the ID.[/QUOTE]
