[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 8155644, member: 110350"]I apologize for continuing to ask so many questions, but is there any written description of the coin? Now that I've had a chance to compare photos, I have no doubt whatsoever that No. 105 in the 1910 D. Sartiges book is the same coin as Lot 144 in the 1938 sale, which in turn is the same coin I recently purchased.
