    Here's my most recent Faustina Sr., a Sestertius that came in a CNG group lot a few months back.

    Faustina Sestertius ex WRG Collection CNG.jpg

    From the WRG Collection.

    There's probably nothing publicly available -- beyond which lots have been sold in which auctions (c. 705 of them) -- but does anyone happen to anything about WRG? All I know is that it was a large collection or accumulation of Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and modern world coinage, sold by CNG beginning in 2018.
