[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2545383, member: 24314"]Thanks, saved me some time as I was going to try to find it. :D What I do with a piece like this (now that we are in the Internet era) is to type out the legend, country, date, etc if they can be seen. This does not work with Arabic coins. :happy: I've suggested to NGC that they form a data base where anyone can scan a photo of a coin, send it in, and a computer would match it up and ID it. They could even charge for the service. Anyway, I'll bet that idea will be a reality one day someplace. And it will work for all foreign coins including ancients made with any style of letters including Cyrillic and Indic. ;)[/QUOTE]
