I've found a few provenance matches from line drawings. That's easier of course as the strike and shape help, as well as the die design.
Eaglen is a superb book, one of the best about ancient coins I've bought in ancient years. Well evidenced text, marvelous illustrations, coherent...
ANA in Philadelphia all this week. Bought just one coin so far. Who else is there that collects ancients?
no surprise to me. I would expect courts to defer to the executive on matters of defining what can be imported and on agreements with foreign...

was gonna reply with suggestions but they've all been nicked by the first posters. Caesar esp elephant. Tony's legions. Cleo. Anything with a face...
422/1a with this different legend arrangement but (usually) no scorpion, is far scarcer than 422/1b with scorpion and the other legend layout....
It's often it's a coded warning for a coin with corroded surfaces. If there's anything actually positive to say about a coin, such as "worn but...
