<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24668373, member: 26430&quot;]Very nice acquisition! I was planning on bidding, as I like these ex-Dattari coins, and don&#039;t have an Agathodaemon yet, but decided not to at the last moment, saving my strength for something else (on which I was outbid!).</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the pencil rubbing from Dattari Savio. It is 100% your coin. (I have a bunch of these and have checked many more.)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1573037[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Note exactly sure what RPC meant about DS12248, perhaps just that they have the same design. This photo may not be sharp enough, but here is the full plate, 12448 is down toward the lower r. (&quot;12448&quot; is penciled right above the plate no., 71).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1573039[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I have one that appears on the following Plate 72, DS 1588:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1573040[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>In the vast majority of cases (but not 100%) the same specimen is numbered identically in the 1999/2007 Dattari-Savio catalog as in the (mostly unillustrated) 1901 Dattari.</p><p><br /></p><p>That means any time you see Dattari 1531 referenced, they are most likely referring to your coin. Having researched the publication histories of my own Dattari&#039;s (especially the Hadrians), I was able to quickly find your coin cited in two more important early 20th century references on Alexandrian coins:</p><ul> <li>Milne, J.G., 1917, “<a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/42678442" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/42678442" rel="nofollow">The Alexandrian Coinage of the Early Years of Hadrian</a>,” <i>Numismatic Chronicle</i>: page 47, 32 (a), first example (&quot;D. 1531&quot;);</li> <li>Vogt II (1924), <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Die_alexandrinischen_M%C3%BCnzen/FWGJxgEACAAJ?hl=en" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Die_alexandrinischen_M%C3%BCnzen/FWGJxgEACAAJ?hl=en" rel="nofollow"><i><i>Alexandrinischen</i></i></a>: page 42 (<i>&quot;</i>D 1530, 1531...&quot;)</li> </ul><p><br /></p><p>(Some of mine are shown with provenance research on my <i>Provenance Coins, Part IV: Alexandria</i> webpage: <a href="https://conservatoricoins.com/provenance-coins/part-iv-alexandria/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://conservatoricoins.com/provenance-coins/part-iv-alexandria/" rel="nofollow">https://conservatoricoins.com/provenance-coins/part-iv-alexandria/</a> )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
