Familiarity with your field is also crucial and also develops with experience.</p><p>By all means, post photos of your puzzlers, but see if you can frame your questions in a way that you aren&#039;t just being supplied with a name, then plugging it into a data field.&nbsp; You will be doing that, of course, but see if you can&#039;t get some information about the processes folks are using - consciously or automatically - to narrow-down and ultimately (hopefully) attach a positive ID to a given coin among the multitude of genres, eras, countries, types, rulers, mints, etc. </p><p>Don&#039;t allow yourself to be discouraged if you&#039;re not getting &quot;everything&quot; on the first try. There is no shame in ID&#039;ing up to the limit of your skill at any one point in time - then periodically revisiting that process as your skills improve to check and refine your earlier work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
