<p>[QUOTE="Voulgaroktonou, post: 8253763, member: 84047"]Dear CoinTalker Friends,</p><p> If anyone has an 1895 Sotheby's coin sale catalog, I would be most grateful to learn whether a coin in my collection is featured therein. The coin in question is a very worn sestertius of Nerva, whose redeeming feature is a silver eagle insert formerly indicating a Renaissance Este collection provenance, although recent scholarship leans towards the Gonzaga family. When I purchased the coin, it arrived with a late 19th (?) c. tag indicating: "Ex lot 134 United Services Institution Collection Sotheby Sale, 1895. Formerly in the Este Collection". By the phrase "Ex lot", I don't know whether my coin was one of several comprising lot 134, but I would be most grateful if someone who happens to own the catalog could supply me with a scan of the text and illustration of that lot, if there is one. Thank you!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1454766[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
