Hello everyone, I am the new and happy owner of CNG auction 595 lot 291 [ MOESIA INFERIOR, Marcianopolis. Macrinus, with Diadumenian as Caesar. ] I am currently adding it to my collection database and would like to know if a well-informed collector can tell me more about DWBG Collection, from which CNG indicate it originates. I have of course contacted CNG, but have received no response so far. Thank you all in advance François HerMer coll.
I think they use initials because some collectors do not want it known that they are selling their coins. So it is unlikely that anyone would know unless is a famous and well known collector. For example there is BCD who to this day I have no idea who that is - and don’t care to know since he or she doesn’t obviously wants it to remain private and I can respect that - and the effort that went into putting together these magnificent collections. I have three catalogs from BCD and all are very useful.
