<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cicero12, post: 4942088, member: 114838&quot;]On this particular piece, I happened to luck out as I was perusing Acsearch and stumbled across the image.&nbsp; However, I have had success with a number of other pieces as well (posts to follow in due course), and collecting Roman gold with &quot;lost provenances&quot; has become a focus. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think the most important step I took was compiling a database of as many freely available PDF catalogs as I could find.&nbsp; The BNF, Newman Numismatic Portal, and University of Heidelberg all have great collections of scanned catalogs (many of them annotated).&nbsp; Of course, I have tried to compile a large physical library as well, but that can get very expensive very quickly, and I have had just as much if not more luck with the PDFs</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Absolutely stunning coin with a great pedigree!&nbsp; By the way, in case you did not know, this coin was published in 1938, and again in 1942!</p><p>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
