<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8278239, member: 110350&quot;]I think you&#039;re mistaken about the allegedly missing nick on the edge, examining the two photos again and taking the deficiencies of the earlier one into account. Both about its actually being missing and the implications if it were. At this point, standing on one&#039;s head to think of reasons it might not be the same coin brings Occam&#039;s Razor to mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>I never said that an old provenance is a guarantee of authenticity. It&#039;s just more likely the more expert eyes have evaluated a coin. I am happy to rely on the opinions of Georges Depeyrot and Barry Murphy, as well as M. Cougnard and M. Vinchon. The idea that I would ever find a better photo in an even earlier catalog is extremely improbable, and not something I would go out of my way to try to do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
