[QUOTE="Steven Michael Gardner, post: 4658818, member: 97508"]Since I started collecting coins, I have learned so much, but not nearly enough... One process I have not mastered is where to start when one comes upon a coin with no ID, no idea who is represented on the coin, and a very general guess at where it comes from?? I turn coins over quite a bit and i always like to pass on more information about a coin than when I received it, most of the time coins have a general identification when purchased, however I always prefer to reference coins so that I know more about them, and know they are well documented with other coins of the same type. So instruct me where to start? Here is a coin with no ID, I feel is interesting and of nice quality, I will most likely pass it on by selling it, or give it to my grandson for his collection depending on what it is? Size 17.7mm Weight 2.8gm. [ATTACH=full]1149703[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
