<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2280501, member: 74282&quot;]I highly recommend checking out CNG&#039;s archives. You can find their old catalogs here: <a href="http://issuu.com/cngcoins/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://issuu.com/cngcoins/" rel="nofollow">http://issuu.com/cngcoins/</a> .&nbsp; I recently purchased a bronze sextans from the Andrew McCabe collection. I contacted him and he mentioned that he bought it from RBW in 2009 but had no further provenance. Checking my old CNG catalogs, I found that it was from the Goodman collection(a.k.a. Richard Schaefer) sold at CNG 45 in 1996. Have not found anything older, but that was a nice find since it means that it passed through 3 amazing Republican bronze collections over the years. If you ever have a chance to get a bunch of pre-Internet catalogs for free or cheap, jump all over that. They are very helpful for finding old provenance sometimes, although plenty of coins have been off the market for 40 or 50 years and never photographed until some dealer or auctioneer puts them online.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
