Message:: [QUOTE="Curtis, post: 8228844, member: 26430"]That's a great find [USER=83175]@akeady[/USER] ! Very few of the C-S coins were sold with prior provenance. I happened to find one that was published in her 1987 "Fractionals" article, and noticed others were sold by Naville (maybe NAC too) with the collection noted but without noting that they appeared in the article.[ATTACH]1446400[/ATTACH] Here's another RRC with some interesting headgear -- the same interesting headgear on both sides in fact: Roman Republic. L. Thorius Balbus, c. 105 BC. AR Denarius (19 mm,  3.87 g, 12 h). Obv: I•S•M•R Head of Juno Sospita to right, wearing goat-skin headdress. Rev. Incuse of obverse. Refs: Cf. Babelon (Thoria) 1, Crawford 316/1, RBW 1168 and Sydenham 598.Prov: Ex- ANE-Calicó (15 Dec 1981), Lot 508 [Schaefer Binder #22, p. 2]; Aureo 89 (4 Mar 1998), Lot 1345 [Schaefer Binder #22, p. 2]; Colleción Alba Longa (J. F. Molina), vol. II, Aureo y Calicó 339 (14 Nov2019), Lot 1398. Images of this coin included twice in ANS RRDP "Schaefer Binders" (first two sales above).
