<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Keith Twitchell, post: 7838689, member: 83799&quot;]I usually start with the metal, either as the word (bronze) or the symbol (ae).&nbsp; Usually it&#039;s pretty clear whether the coin is Greek or Roman, so I include that.&nbsp; Any discernible letters will narrow it down further, as will including some description of the image (i.e., &quot;horse standing right&quot;).&nbsp; Diameter and weight can help, but since especially in the case of Greek coins, these varied within the same coin type, I am cautious about using them.&nbsp; In that these are from various auction houses, it helps to have some familiarity with how the auctioneers typically describe coins.&nbsp; Obviously the more detail you can provide up front, the more focused the results will be.&nbsp; All that said, I do not always find the coin, and sometimes there is a certain amount of serendipity involved when I do find a match.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
