  3. Numisforums- Great start and heading in the right direction.  Excellent.

    Cointalk- Devolving thanks to a lack of leadership/morals.

    FB- Stay off the home page and go to your favorite groups.

    Forvm-  Good help for ID'ing problem coins. I also use the Gallery.

    https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/3/648

    It also states this type as helmeted but I have not seen an example that looks definitive.
