<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 8252833, member: 26430&quot;]I love it! I collect interesting provenances wherever possible, so I can hardly forgive myself for striking out on all the [<i>edit in italics</i>, forgot one:] &quot;Four Socks, <i>an Italian banker</i>, a War Hero, and a Czech Musician Collection&quot; coins! Perhaps I&#039;ll get lucky and some will return to the market (perhaps with additional ex-CT Member provenance) or there were a few unpaid.</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t received this one yet, [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] but I was thinking of your cupids-gif when bidding! (Bit of a funny nose on my Mars though!) It&#039;s from the recently dispersed &quot;Scipio Collection&quot; (Part III, 458). (Very nice collection &gt;1,000 denarii, both RRC and RIC, mostly much more expensive than mine, acquired mostly 1990s-2000s I think, dispersed by Soler y Llach).</p><p><br /></p><p>It was previously from the Leo Benz (1906-1996) Collection, Lanz 88 (23 Nov 1998), Lot 407. And Kircheldorf 29 (3 Mar 1975), Lot 249 before that. Interestingly, both of those sales are illustrated in the Richard Schaefer Binders of the ANS-RRDP, but <b><i>under different control marks (!)</i></b>: once under &quot;K (inverted)&quot; [Krich 29] and once under &quot;●K (inverted)&quot; [Benz]. (I just realized I haven&#039;t sent an email to let them know yet.)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]1454420[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1454427[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1454431[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p><font size="4"><b>Auction description, S&amp;L (23 Feb 2022), Colleción Scipio (P.
