[QUOTE="Stork, post: 3977860, member: 71642"]I was watching this (now closed) auction and had a question. Reading the original French description (I can kind of sort of muddle my way through French) vs. the google translate version, I was wondering if the following is of significance. Auction in question: [URL]https://www.cgbfr.com/lucanie-velia-nomos-statere-ou-didrachme-ttb-,bgr_554805,a.html[/URL] Looking at the French I assumed the comment was referring to the provenance. [ATTACH=full]1047067[/ATTACH] Eventually I looked at the English and now it looks like the word translates to copy. [ATTACH=full]1047068[/ATTACH] I don't buy many ancients...but I like this design quite a bit. Wasn't ready to buy a raw one from an overseas auction just yet, and perhaps I'm happy. So, a copy or a translation mishap?[/QUOTE]
