<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3204247, member: 19463&quot;]The reason I see is that either you would have to confirm that the coin was in fact the Dattari specimen meaning you spent the time to look it up or you would be taking the word of the submitter which may or may not be accurate.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The similar situation comes up when you accept something of the Sallent Collection suggesting to the target audience (who tend to be less informed?) that there is some special situation associated with that name but the only thing special is that Sallent bought it and sold it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I know you stated that you will not answer specifics but how do you decide if a coin was ex (a collection name) or just sold by a dealer?&nbsp; How many exes would this coin qualify for?&nbsp; It still appears on both of our web pages.&nbsp; I suspect these days there would be a market for multiple provenances beyond what would fit in the space. </p><p><a href="http://bpmurphy.ancients.info/severan/ssemesa1.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://bpmurphy.ancients.info/severan/ssemesa1.htm" rel="nofollow">http://bpmurphy.ancients.info/severan/ssemesa1.htm</a></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/f02.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/f02.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/f02.html</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]830015[/ATTACH] </p><p>I really wish I had bought more of those coins when they were available.&nbsp; There were some real winners included.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
