<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Snible, post: 4847266, member: 82322&quot;]I have a coin with the same provenance but mine has a provenance problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1170280[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin comes from the same auction, Baldwin 98, and was lot 551.&nbsp; The provenance was Vecchi, Etruscan Coinage, Part I 52.126 (1219) (O20, this coin), yet the picture doesn&#039;t match mine nor does the weight.&nbsp; This upset me greatly so I cross-referenced Baldwin&#039;s catalog 20-As pieces with Vecchi and several had that problem.&nbsp; I wrote to the Baldwin&#039;s cataloger.&nbsp; He thinks his catalog is the correct one.&nbsp; Vecchi seemed uncertain which catalog was correct.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mine also came out of Kreisberg &amp; Schulman, New York, 25-26 January 1957 (&quot;Adolphe Menjou collection&quot;) and was lot 2765/6 (part).&nbsp; The group lot unphotographed and unweighed.&nbsp; Although the catalog is called &quot;Adolphe Menjou collection&quot; it is believed the US coins were Menjou&#039;s, and the ancients were not.&nbsp; Menjou was a character actor and &quot;the best-dressed man in America&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you look carefully you can see that mine is a partial brockage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
