Richie, I forgot to salute Overlord for his help. As I had mentioned in one of my earlier posts, I have really learnt a lot from following the discussions on the forum and the senior members have been a great source of inspiration. I used to collect coins - actually hoard them. I tried to get help from so called local experts in Ahmedabad as well as Delhi and Mumbai and all that I could get is the identification of the coin - Name of king or ruler and mint. Even this was with great difficulty. In fact I suceeded only with my Mughal coins (and that too, I am not sure whether the identification is accurate). But no one was there to teach how to read the coins. On this forum I have seen knowledge being imparted liberaly. In fact this has increased my interest in the hobby manyfold. I hope and pray that may the tribe of the teachers on this forum increase. It will benifit many like me who are interested in the hobby but are not able to proceed due to lack of knowledge and guidance.
