<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andrew McCabe, post: 4306117, member: 90666&quot;]Hiya all</p><p><br /></p><p>Am looking for help on the following German ticket for a rare Autronia denarius with three (!!) pre world war one dates on it:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1095576[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>What I can read</p><p><br /></p><p>Autronia B.1 (that&#039;s the Babelon number of the coin type)</p><p>Dioskurenm ROMA (the reverse type)</p><p>XXXXXXX AVTR (something I can&#039;t read then AVTR which is the monogram)</p><p>24-X-1901 (believe the date is 1901 from the writer&#039;s habit of dotting his 1&#039;s)</p><p>Babelon 80 fr (that&#039;s the catalogue value in Babelon, so another catalogue ref)</p><p>Merzb[acher] 1908 or 1900, 40 marks (pretty sure it&#039;s Merzbacher, fits perfectly, not sure if the date is 1900 or 1908). So the problem with either date is that the only Merzbacher sales on Heidelberg from those dates are modern coins (see second pic below)</p><p>Then ( xxxxxxxxx II-XI-1914 ) - what is the word before the third date? the letter in the middle looks rather like the first D in Dioskuren</p><p><br /></p><p>So hoping someone with familiarity reading German hand writing will be able to help on the two words marked as XXXXX above. These may of course all be retail sales. The second date (1900 or 1908) may very likely only be a value comparator from a sale and may not be this coin. But the two full dates 24-X-1901 and II-XI-1914 must be buy or sale dates?</p><p><br /></p><p>Any guesses welcome</p><p><br /></p><p>thanks</p><p>Andrew</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1095577[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
