<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8072142, member: 110350&quot;]Thank you!&nbsp; That 1960 pedigree for the Arcadius (for which the dealer, Dr. Busso Peus Nachf., kindly provided copies of the relevant pages of the original catalog) is actually my oldest documented provenance -- not counting coins purportedly from the 1887 East Harptree hoard and ex. Giovanni Dattari (his unpublished Roman Imperial collection sold by Jesus Vico), both of which are entirely plausible, but neither of which I could prove. (Not that I&#039;m likely ever to have to do so.) Someday, perhaps, there&#039;ll be a reasonably complete database of old catalogs for image searches, and a much more technologically advanced search engine that can reliably recognize different specimens of the same type or even the same dies, even from different photographs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
