Ex Lewis L. Egnew Collection (Superior, 30 May 1995), lot 7462. Your first step in researching a pedigree should be to search for recent...
I bet you could chase down a pedigree before 2008, if you had access to the old catalogues. It had to have gone somewhere between Eliasberg and...
Way to go! The pound sign before the sale number is unnecessary, though. Good job.
Despite it's youthful, mirror like surfaces and plastic coffin, that's still a nice coin. ;) Care to describe the sale pedigree?
A few months ago, I posted a thread about how to describe a pedigree. Did anyone actually start using those guidelines? If so, or if you want to...
Woops, completely missed that. I thought you were calling the tamgha on the reverse some kind of cross. How certain is it that these are...

I use saved searches. I'm automatically notified on my phone whenever anything is listed in the coin section with the words "Wooster," "Kilwa,"...
Oh, indeed. Just yesterday I cataloged a contemporary counterfeit of a straited type electrum hemihekte. Coinage hadn't even existed for fifty...
Seriously, the fakes are so bad today! Whatever shall we do?...
I knew I recognized that particular arrangement of banker's marks: http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=233276 Looks like the seller lost...
The color is a bit odd, but that appears to be the result of the photography. The wear and banker's marks are what most strongly suggest authenticity.
I don't see anything suspicious about it.
But the low weight is precisely the reason why these were countermarked. Only asses (or perhaps dupondii as well) received this countermark.
That is much too large for a quadrans. It is an as, probably a moneyer as of Augustus, on which this countermark was usually applied.
