[QUOTE="Theodosius, post: 5475974, member: 77077"]As a variation on your idea [USER=33176]@Kentucky[/USER] I tried image searching using the Edge browser from Microsoft, which uses the Bing search engine. Look what it found: [ATTACH=full]1238627[/ATTACH] It found the CNG appearance of the coin, but not the Ira and Larry Goldberg auction. It also found two CoinTalk hits, the profile page of ancientnut, who bought this coin in the Ira and Larry auction, and a thread he started about it. Ancientnut laid out the provenance of the coin back to 1894: Purchased in Ira and Larry Goldberg Auction 96, 14 February 2017, lot 1535. From the Hanbery Collection. Purchased privately from Classical Numismatic Group, Inc. in 1991. Ex Munzen & Medaillen AG 43, 12 November 1970, lot 12. Ex Robert Carfrae (died 1900) Collection, Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge, 23 May 1894, lot 7. Pretty cool...another way to find old provenances: use CoinTalk.[/QUOTE]
