<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 8250239, member: 26430&quot;]Thank you [USER=134416]@nerosmyfavorite68[/USER] &amp; [USER=84744]@Severus Alexander[/USER] for IDing that tag! Unfortunately I missed the Spahr coins at Naville (though I&#039;ll watch for any stragglers!), but I&#039;ve added it to my own modest database of collector tag images/names... Believe it or not, I&#039;ve already found (or at least suggested) a few lost provenances using it (though mostly to other people&#039;s coins -- which I&#039;m happy with!).</p><p><br /></p><p>For anyone who may come across and find this info useful, here&#039;s my entry to go along with that collector tag image:</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><font size="4">Rodolfo Spahr (1894-1981), author of important book on Byzantine coins of Sicily (among others):&nbsp; <i>Le Monete Siciliane, dai Bizantini a Carlo I d&#039; Angio (582 - 1282).</i> (Graz, 1976).</font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">Primarily dispersed at Naville Auction 37 (27 Jan 2019), and a few group lots (possibly unsold) in Auction 41 (23 June 2018).</font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><blockquote><p><font size="4"><a href="https://coinsweekly.com/naville-numismatics-ltd-27/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coinsweekly.com/naville-numismatics-ltd-27/" rel="nofollow">https://coinsweekly.com/naville-numismatics-ltd-27/</a> <a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=spahr" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=spahr" rel="nofollow">https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=spahr</a></font></p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=inauthor:%22Rodolfo+Spahr%22&amp;tbm=bks" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=inauthor:%22Rodolfo+Spahr%22&amp;tbm=bks" rel="nofollow"><font size="4">https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=inauthor:%22Rodolfo+Spahr%22&amp;tbm=bks</font></a></p></blockquote></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>(That&#039;s always the most desirable kind of provenance, when the coin is from a scholar&#039;s area of specialty; if it were me, [USER=134416]@nerosmyfavorite68[/USER] , I&#039;d check his books and any articles he may have written to see if he described or illustrated your example.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
