<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rich Beale, post: 7263504, member: 77960&quot;]I already answered you in the previous thread, perhaps you didn’t see, or perhaps you’re enjoying stirring the pot.</p><p><br /></p><p>copied below:</p><p><br /></p><p>Firstly, if you’re trying to suggest that these coins had any connection to Lanz, well they didn’t - go bark up another tree. Munich is one of the oldest numismatic hubs in Europe, and anyone with even a passing knowledge of the trade there will have some understanding of just how many old collections reside there. </p><p><br /></p><p>Secondly, since the coins from that collection are incontrovertibly authentic I don’t see what point you’re trying to make. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thirdly, your implication that the coins lack provenance is a dull refrain. A good many old collections come to us completely lacking in provenance, simply because the owner bought from dealers not auctions, did not keep records or tickets, or because intermediaries discarded the information. See, for example the Eucharius Collection, the Mkaelay-Tigray Collection (only later discovered to be that of a well-known numismatist), the Vitangelo Collection, the Z.P. Collection. The list goes on. In fact the first collection I ever handled, acquired via a well known German auction house, contained 1200 coins including a magnificent jugate portrait denarius of Postumus - all 1200 with no provenance information preserved.
