<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24866413, member: 26430&quot;]German-language, published in Vienna, Austria. The article was written by Wendelin Kellner. I think he may have recently died (10 Jan 1931-13 May 2023; <a href="https://trauer.schwaebische.de/MEDIASERVER/content/LH88/obi_new/2023_8/wendelin-kellner-traueranzeige-f5c3298f-af63-4fa8-8a97-73c1bb529ef7.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://trauer.schwaebische.de/MEDIASERVER/content/LH88/obi_new/2023_8/wendelin-kellner-traueranzeige-f5c3298f-af63-4fa8-8a97-73c1bb529ef7.jpg" rel="nofollow">that looks like him</a>).</p><p><br /></p><p>Glad you posted that, because I&#039;d forgotten about that column. He published it in many parts, chronologically (e.g., Teil 16 &amp; 17 were Constantinian; Teil 31 begins with a coin of Marcian). Used to be you could read all the MoneyTrend archives free on their website, but now paywalled. A few can be found on Yumpu, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kellner published a similar series for Alexandrian coins in MoneyTrend in at least 30-something parts, which were then collected for his 2009 book, <i>Münzstätte die Alexandria in Ägypten</i>. (I have about half a dozen of those coins.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder if he had a similar book for these coins? I can&#039;t find such a title in my usual bibliographies &amp; library catalogs, but it looks like that&#039;s what he was aiming for.</p><p><br /></p><p>I need to check for one of my coins. I have at least one Imperial Denarius (a scarce &amp; unusual Severus Alexander) from the &quot;AK Collection,&quot; which is the collection that Kellner published in all his articles/book(s), so I think there&#039;s a good chance mine is in the Severan article.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1595242[/ATTACH]</p><blockquote><p><br /></p><p><i><b>EDIT</b>: Found it! (The article -- but sadly not my coin.) Surprisingly, although Liberalitas Denarii were emphasized, he seems to have had at least one of other of this same type (Antioch mint Liberalitas), and published it (them) instead. (And some other weird ones!)</i></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1595243[/ATTACH]</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>(Incidentally, I&#039;ve been impressed with the discipline with which no one has revealed the identity of the &quot;AK Collector.&quot; I don&#039;t know for sure, and wouldn&#039;t try to identify them in public, certainly not my place to do it first, but I have my theories of course, and am curious to see if it happens, since I think there&#039;s value in knowing as much as possible about the modern &quot;biographies&quot; of antiquities/ancient coins...)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
