<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1537677, member: 112&quot;]But how old is this provenance, how far back does it go ? I ask that because if it is older than 7 years then it might not really mean anything. You see, until I bought I bought my coin 7 years ago there was really only 1 confirmed example in the British Museum. So prior to 7 years ago, when there was only 1 confirmed example, it could have easily been assumed that your coin was but another variety. But in the years following when I discovered my coin several other examples have surfaced. And they are all the same, which indicates there is only 1 variety, not more than 1.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No, it&#039;s pretty hard to have specialist text on a coin that is all but unknown. There is probably more information about that coin in this thread than there is in all of the books combined. I have the auction records and pictures of 5 of the 7 known examples, so does Conrad. And all 5 were discovered in the last 7 years. Between Conrad and I, we probably know as much, and maybe more, about that coin than anyone else does. I&#039;m not claiming I&#039;m an expert, I am most definitely not. But when there is that little to know ...........</p><p><br /></p><p>As I said, before that the one in the British Museum was the only confirmed example in Delmote&#039;s book. It was rumored that another might exist but it could not be confirmed by Delmonte. Your coin may be the one that rumor referred to seeing as how you say there is a provenance for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
