    Hello!

    I’d appreciate any help CT members can provide with this provenance puzzle.

    I’m writing to ask if any CT member can point me in the right direction to identify the Munzen & Medaillen AG sale from which the following Constantius II siliqua came.

    RIC 66, RSC 342-3i


    Although this coin is common and quite undistinguished, I can track provenance to Alex Malloy’s sale 51 (lot 546 in December 1998). The coin came with this tag from Munzen & Medaillen AG, which has a “9” written on the front. The “546” sticker came from Malloy.

    I know its unlikely after all of these years, but can anyone suggest how I might trace from which MMAG sale this tag and my coin came?

    Thanks for your consideration.
