<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sulla80, post: 4986858, member: 99456&quot;]Nicely made video, a few additions on provenance hunting:</p><ul> <li>ACSearch does offer an image search which I&#039;ve found useful in finding both die matches and coin matches&nbsp; (in contrast to Ex-Nummis where several dozen searches later I have nothing to show for it)</li> <li>the other major source to explore are large online databases, auction catalogs, journal articles and reference plates, much like browsing in ACSearch except in paper or pdfs, surprising amounts of information now available electronically make this much easier than even a few years ago.</li> <li>the tags that come with your coins - these are sometimes mysterious and indecipherable but even the most cryptic can sometimes give you clues about the coin and previous owners e.g. older reference numbers can be an indication of when the tag was written.</li> </ul><p>I had a nice surprise finding an Alexander III drachm as a <a href="https://www.wildwinds.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.wildwinds.com/" rel="nofollow">wildwind</a>s reference coin.&nbsp; This gave my undocumented Ebay purchase an extra 10 years of provenance and a listing in a well used reference.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another example: <a href="https://www.sullacoins.com/post/ae-coin-from-ekkarra-achaea-phthiotis" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.sullacoins.com/post/ae-coin-from-ekkarra-achaea-phthiotis" rel="nofollow">here</a>. The <a href="https://www.sullacoins.com/post/ae-coin-from-ekkarra-achaea-phthiotis" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.sullacoins.com/post/ae-coin-from-ekkarra-achaea-phthiotis" rel="nofollow">story</a> of one coin from Ekkarra that turned out to be a plate coin in a publication that I was reading to learn more about the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your efforts to share experience and expertise with others.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
