[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3000882, member: 56859"]Thanks for the compliment, Mike, but perhaps I come across as someone who knows more than she really does :D (hence the disclaimer under my avatar). When it comes to Celtic coins I know very little and can't imagine how the majority of Celtic coins could be authenticated from a picture, simply because of the nature of their designs-- cartoonish imitations of other coins. It must take a lifetime of studying Celtic coins to have any kind of accuracy with vetting a coin's authenticity from images (exceptions for obvious casts, wrong metal, etc). The name I hear most often when it comes to Celtic coins is [URL='http://www.celticcoins.com/']Chris Rudd[/URL], so that website might be a good resource.[/QUOTE]
