<p>[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 4609954, member: 44316"]I use the order of Sear's <i>Greek Coins and Their Values</i>, which is primarily geographic, left to right on a map, as far as possible. Of course, Sear is far from complete, but it always has something reasonably close to whatever Greek coin you have, so if a coin type is missing from Sear I just pick a place where it would go and add a suffix: 5565a is a coin that belongs after 5565. On my flip inserts at the top I put that number with the regular coin identification. Then any given coin is easy to find in my "Greek" coin box in the bank.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Doug is right. </p><p><br /></p><p>Eventually, you get to know the geographic order of the regions. This is the same order most firms use in their sales, so it is time-tested by professionals. If you specialize in some way that causes you to want to use some other order for filing Greek coins, go ahead. But, the geographic method has been found useful for over two hundred years. Sear's two-volume series gives the order and a sequence of numbers which are easy to use.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
