<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carausius, post: 3911598, member: 76440&quot;]You would only use it to reference provenance if you owned one of the actual coins in the catalogue, or perhaps as proof that a coin is from the same dies as one in the Hartwig catalogue.&nbsp; For a provenance,&nbsp; I would cite &quot;Ex Hartwig Collection [P&amp;P Santamaria (7 March 1910) Lot xx]&quot;.&nbsp; &nbsp; For dies,&nbsp; I would cite &quot;See, P&amp;P Santamaria (7 March 1910) Lot xx (dies)&quot;.&nbsp; Some auction sales of huge/important collections used to be cited like books, e.g. Haeberlin or Pozzi, but those days are largely past. BCD Collection catalogues are a notable exception today because of their completeness - they are widely cited.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
