Helllo, I am researching provenance for my ancient coins and would love some help. First off - I have traced a specific coin to CNG 72 lot 1327 June 14th 2006: L. Marcius Philippus. 57 BC. AR Denarius (3.88 g, 3h). Rome mint. Diademed head of Ancus Marcius right; lituus behind / Equestrian statue standing right on aqueduct; flower below horse. Crawford 425/1; Sydenham 919; Marcia 28. Good VF, deep gray and iridescent toning, minor porosity under tone. Wonderful portrait. From the Douglas O. Rosenberg Collection. I have using Newman Numismatic Portal found some information on Douglas O. Rosenberg: - Possibly Chicago-based - Active giving talks - Collected ancient coins and possibly sold it through CNG in the 2006-2007. My questions are the following: 1 Does anyone have a profile of the collector? 2 Can anyone help be trace the specific coin further back? 3 Was it indeed Rosenberg who sold this coin at CNG72 lot 1327 or were there sales before ending up at CNG 72? Thanks for any help with this Here is a photo of the coin from CNG 72
I might be wrong but I believe when they say ‘from’ a collection it means directly from that collection, while ‘ex’ means it was previously sold through other sales before this particular auction
The coin has been sold twice by CNG ; in 2006 for 200$ and probably later in their Web shop for 245$. Same description for the two sales : "From the Douglas O. Rosenberg Collection."
Thanks for looking up. Using acsearch, that’s as far as I got too Hope perhaps the catalog says some more about its provenance or the collector.
