<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GinoLR, post: 8449707, member: 128351&quot;]The problem with the coins acquired through auctions or from dealers is that they have no provenance - I mean the place where they have been found is unknown, for metal detectorists and hoard finders never disclose this essential info (or lie). This kind of tiny bronze coins did not circulate very far from their mint place. The fact that specimens of RPC I 4874 are in the Rosenberger, the Sofaer and the Baramki collections could suggest they are from Ascalon, because these collections are mostly made of coins bought from dealers in the Levant (Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Palestinian territories, Jordan). But it remains hypothetical.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
