Whenever I use Wildwinds.com I feel as though I don't know where to start in it's vast collection. What are your best tips and tricks when using wildwinds, and how do you filter down the results to your coin? Help appreciated, Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

captainyesterday555 Valued Member United States 129 Posts	Posted 06/12/2016 10:07 pm It depends on how much you already know about the coins you have. If you can identify the Emperor, or at least narrow it down to a few rulers based on the legends or images on the obverse or reverse, you can use the thumb nail images to give you a quick visual check. What kinds of coins are you collecting? There might be other resources that could help you as well (tesorillo, catbikes, or even a google image search can also be very useful when you're stuck) Report this Post to the Staff
