<p>[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3256604, member: 56859"]An alternative to the above steps would be to plug a few terms into ACsearch since it is a larger database than Wildwinds. For example, with your coin I'd go to ACsearch and try "marcus aurelius horse cornucopia", because you can see all of those things on the coin (with Marcus Aurelius as a guess). If I found a reverse match under Marcus Aurelius, and if I wasn't sure about the obverse legend, I'd next search for Lucius Verius + the city and horse, and the same for Commodus.</p><p><br /></p><p>You will need to be able to discern a few letter of obverse legend to definitively nail down this particular coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
