<p>[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 4912205, member: 83845"]I enjoy knowing something about the people who collected the coins from my collection before me. It’s fun to share a connection with someone from far away or long ago based on a common interest. This coin is fun because I can trace it to two past collectors who shared my enthusiasm for ancient coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1184910[/ATTACH]</p><p><font size="3">Roman Empire</font></p><p><font size="3">Maximinus II Daia As Caesar</font></p><p><font size="3">Æ Follis, Alexandria mint, 5th officina.

So sometime between 1901 and when he founded a numismatic society in 1914 he moved to live on Naegelistrasse in Zurich which was presumable named after him. Since the above tag indicates that Dr. Naegeli lived in Zurich when Stoeklin purchased it we know the coin entered the Stoeklin Collection between 1901 and 1951 (when Dr. Naegeli died).
