<p>[QUOTE=&quot;4to2centBC, post: 2331110, member: 76181&quot;]Interesting. I had a very detailed conversation with a few, now former, collectors about 9 years ago about this type of service. I believe the threads are probably still up on Forum. It was not to establish provenance, but rather to speed up attribution work. At the time, SW for image recognition was not advanced enough to work efficiently and effectively. As we have seen in recent threads, a photo is merely a representation of a moment in time, exposure, lighting and angle. Change any of these and photos can look different enough to make identification difficult. Perhaps these issues have now been resolved by advances in technology. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do know that google image recognition will get you nothing useful when used on ancient coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I may use this for the Mithrapata that I just bought. It is die matched to so many other known specimens.&nbsp; It has me wondering when the coin first surfaced. I&#039;m curious if it surfaced around the time of the Podalia hoard. This service may yield me an answer.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am intrigued.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
