<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2453771, member: 74282&quot;]I&#039;m always surprised how little provenance Agora lists. The listing for this quinarius for instance, mentioned only that it was Ex. RBW but RBW&#039;s envelope mentioned &quot;Malter XXX(Rindge), 6/7/85, lot 1473&quot;. After posting the coin here, [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER] was nice enough to send me scans of the catalog of Malter XXX which revealed that the Rindge collection was the collection of Frederick H. Rindge, who passed away in 1905. I&#039;m glad it wasn&#039;t noted though, it provided a few hours of fun research.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]512984[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Scans of the tags &amp; auction catalog for those interested:</p><p>[ATTACH]512985[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]512986[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]512987[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]512988[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I unfortunately never got to meet RBW.
