<p>[QUOTE=&quot;abc123, post: 4653290, member: 103687&quot;][USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER]&nbsp; This is conjecture on my part but I wonder if some of the coins in question with difficult to trace sources are actually eBay handles.&nbsp; I saw a couple others while searching for you that raised this possibility.&nbsp; The Plautius Plancus that you posted above looks like it came from &quot;OWEN48&quot; and the Acilius Glabrio from &quot;AVGVSTVS.&quot;&nbsp; Of course I could be completely wrong.&nbsp; As Andrew states above we will undoubtedly learn more with time.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>While the provenance information is a nice bonus, Richard Schaefer has done the hobby a huge service with this monumental effort (not to mention the ANS for digitizing and making it public).&nbsp; I highly encourage everyone to read Lucia Carbone and Liv Yarrow&#039;s <a href="https://brooklynsabbatical.files.wordpress.com/2019/09/yarrow-carbone-2019-opening_access_to_roman_republican_die_s.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://brooklynsabbatical.files.wordpress.com/2019/09/yarrow-carbone-2019-opening_access_to_roman_republican_die_s.pdf" rel="nofollow">ANS article</a> on how this work will be used and some insights already possible as well as watch Zachary Taylor&#039;s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF6aZdhc0wg&amp;t=1s" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF6aZdhc0wg&amp;t=1s" rel="nofollow">ANS talk</a> on his breakthroughs with computer-aided die studies.&nbsp; Together they bring the greater vision into focus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
