<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 8284254, member: 26430&quot;]BCD Peloponnesos 969.1 is the final auction record you&#039;ve linked. LHS 96 was the BCD Collection of Peloponnesos.</p><p><br /></p><p>So the other auctions were citing that listing (most or all of the 10 primary named sales of BCD are important catalogs treated as references in their own right; you can see a <a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=BCD%20Collection" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=BCD%20Collection" rel="nofollow">list on Numiswiki and links where available</a> and <a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/catalogs/BCD.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/catalogs/BCD.html" rel="nofollow">W.W.Esty has a valuable page annotating</a> even more of the important BCD catalogs).</p><p><br /></p><p>Whenever a BCD # has a decimal, then it was a group lot. For LHS 96 / BCD Pelo, ACSearch only showed the first coin not the whole lot (unlike NAC 55 = BCD lokris-phokis) but they&#039;re all illustrated in the print catalog. Unfortunately I think that&#039;s one of the expensive ones (an not available anywhere online as a pdf).</p><p><br /></p><p>In this case, there were six coins in the lot. Luckily the one you&#039;re interested in (969.1) is the one illustrated on ACSearch. </p><p><br /></p><p>The provenance notes say it was acquired from Lindgren in 1976, so it probably wouldn&#039;t have been in the Lindgren Collection books.</p><p><br /></p><p>All 6 of the BCD 969 coins (including your type, 969.1) reference <i>NCP</i>, which I believe would be Friedrich Imhoof-Blumer &amp; Percy Gardner, 1887, <i>Numismatic Commentary on Pausanias</i>. Chapters are reprinted from articles in <i>Journal of Hellenic Studies</i>, 1885-7.
