[QUOTE="Bing, post: 2015925, member: 44132"]It finally arrived today. My newest Vespasian. It has a pedigree that's nearly as neat as the coin itself and, truth be told, is the strongest reason I went after this coin. Doug presented a coin (I can't remember which, sorry Doug) with a similar provenance. This is a Vespasian Dupondius - sold as very fine. This is from lot 785 of the [COLOR=#0080ff]John Quincy Adams[/COLOR] sale of the Massachusetts Historical Society (Stacks, 1971) purchased by Christian Blom. C. Blom sold it to Mendel Peterson of the Smithsonian Institution who sold it to Gene Brandenberg, Trojan Antiques. I should mention that Doug was able to check the results of Stacks 1971 and provided this: So, without further ado, here is my newest addition which was either in the hands of JQ Adams himself or one of his immediate descendants: [ATTACH=full]363882[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]363883[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]363884[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]363885[/ATTACH] VESPASIAN Æ Dupondius OBVERSE: IMP CAES VESP AVG P M T P COS V CENS, radiate head left REVERSE: FELICITAS PVBLICA S-C, Felicitas standing facing, head left, holding caduceus & cornucopiae Struck at Rome, 74AD 10.2g, 28mm RIC 716, (RIC [1962] 555), Cohen 152, BMC 698 Ex: J.Q.
