Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 08/11/2022 7:34 pm Searching VCoins can be helpful. But there are many other sites, some really extensive, that are probably more useful. Perhaps the most important thing is knowing how to search, what terms to use for the coin you have.

Wstalcup New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 08/14/2022 1:16 pm Thanks all! problem is the letters on the coins.. are really in the English alphabet.. so I dont know how to type them in, to search on them.. plus there might be a guy on the coin.. but since I don't know who he is in the first place.. I don't know to search on him. But then again.. its adds to the fun! like solving a mystery.. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 08/14/2022 1:29 pm Yes the letters are Greek of course on this coin. I was more thinking that knowing to use the search term THUNDERBOLT is most important.

JohnConduitt Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 725 Posts	Posted 08/14/2022 6:29 pm If you are completely at a loss, just try a few searches on Google images for what you can see + "coin", and scroll through to see anything that comes close. The details of that coin will then give you some terms to try, like the ruler or the city, and an idea of which more specialist site to search. Report this Post to the Staff
