<p>[QUOTE="ancientcoinguru, post: 3055005, member: 75563"]Since provenance often helps sell the coin, if the dealer has the information, he would usually already have included it in the description. But that would not stop me from inquiring about a $650 purchase (also expensive for me). Last year I bought a cuneiform tablet, and after the purchase, asked the dealer if they could provide some guidance on how to transcribe the inscription. Turns out someone had already partially transcribed the tablet, and they had forgotten. So they called the person, and arranged for him to sent me the info. </p><p><br /></p><p>So it never hurts to ask.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
