[QUOTE="Cucumbor, post: 8038843, member: 4298"]I've shown that before, but think it belongs in here too :) From my secret Saturn last year I received, among others, the following antoninianus with a [I]very [/I]old provenance, considering it's a modest coin, where you usually expect pedigrees to be related to the rare and/or prestigious ones. Never have I encountered an obscure, modest and plebeian coin with a provenance going back as far as 1849 (at least) ! It's a Tetricus II antoninianus with its original holder, from the Netherlands National collections, stating it has been in the "old cabinet" (i.e. pre 1849, when the two main collections merged) since.
