[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 5347789, member: 85693"]Great looking coin jamesicus. A real beauty. As for OCRE, I find it very, very helpful. It is also sometimes very frustrating - the more I use it, the more errors I find - basic stuff, because I am not an expert by any means, but I find myself getting confused. Some of the search functions are great, but sometimes they don't work. For instance, if I don't know the denomination of, say, a Hadrian bronze, it will not always pull up what I need if I limit the search to "material" - I am not sure why this is, but it seems especially bad with Hadrian. RIC did a huge upgrade/revision for Hadrian and although it is overall a good thing, the search function is pretty spotty unless you know what you are looking for. There are basic typo-type stuff as well. And some of the examples used from museums are just wrong - they don't match the description. Here is a recent post I made where an OCRE error baffled me. In this instance the deity was incorrect in OCRE (and a big thank you to [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/members/ambr0zie.80952/']ambr0zie[/URL] for helping me out) [URL]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/commodus-dupondius-annona-standing-attribution-help.370159/#post-5134698[/URL] But I don't want to complain too much - OCRE is very useful most of the time and it is free.[/QUOTE]
