<p>[QUOTE="Voulgaroktonou, post: 3055066, member: 84047"]Wonderful reading above, from all posters. Establishing provenance when known is such a rewarding exercise. Attached is a photo of a well worn, but much loved sestertius of Nerva having the oldest provenance in my collection . Before I became its next caretaker, it was in Triskeles Auction 7, 12 Sept. 2013, lot 167. It has an old ticket stating "lot 134 United Services Institution Collection, Sotheby Sale 1895". In the left field is an inlaid small silver eagle, formerly thought to have been an ownership mark of the d'Este family, but now regarded as the badge of another Italian Renaissance family, the Gonzaga.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]765288[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]765289[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
