<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 1986549, member: 57495&quot;]I wouldn&#039;t trust a random ebay attribution I found on Wildwinds either, but in this case, the contradictory entry I mentioned (for RIC 78) seems to have been provided by TimeLine Originals, which owns Wildwinds. </p><p><br /></p><p>I also did some searches on CNG, but unfortunately that didn&#039;t clear things up for me.&nbsp; For example, my coin #3 yielded these results on CNG:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.cngcoins.com/Search.aspx?PAGE_NUM=&amp;PAGE=1&amp;TABS_TYPE=1&amp;CONTAINER_TYPE_ID=2&amp;IS_ADVANCED=1&amp;ITEM_DESC=postumus+331a&amp;ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cngcoins.com/Search.aspx?PAGE_NUM=&amp;PAGE=1&amp;TABS_TYPE=1&amp;CONTAINER_TYPE_ID=2&amp;IS_ADVANCED=1&amp;ITEM_DESC=postumus+331a&amp;ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.cngcoins.com/Search.aspx?PAGE_NUM=&amp;PAGE=1&amp;TABS_TYPE=1&amp;CONTAINER_TYPE_ID=2&amp;IS_ADVANCED=1&amp;ITEM_DESC=postumus 331a&amp;ITEM_IS_SOLD=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_1=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_3=1&amp;SEARCH_IN_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID_2=1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>3 attributed to Cologne, 10 to Trier (which I believe CNG prefers over the Lyons assignation). Looking at the portrait of those coins, the attributions to the mints don&#039;t seem to conform uniformly to Wildwinds&#039;s guidance on the portrait styles.&nbsp; Unfortunately without Mairat, I&#039;m afraid I wouldn&#039;t know if they conform to any guidance if provided there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
