<p>[QUOTE="rrdenarius, post: 7939891, member: 75525"][USER=125206]@JJ Walker[/USER] - welcome. Your second set of pictures is much better. You can do some of the attribution work with a few books (you can find a dozen or more good Greek & Roman books on V-Coins for less than $20), or some database searching online. I like acsearch. </p><p>I bought an inexpensive bronze coin at the Pasadena (TX) Coin Club meeting last month. It was the first ancient coin from a club meeting in a long time. The coin was not attributed and was not one I recognized. The coin is not in my collecting area so I do not have a book that would have the coin. I could read a couple of letters on the coin (GOR) and saw what looked like a Bull & lion on the reverse. I searched for "gordian bull lion" and picked out a coin similar to mine - </p><p>[ATTACH]1374065[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1374066[/ATTACH] </p><p>mine</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1374067[/ATTACH] </p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1372441" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1372441" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1372441</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with this thinking.
