[QUOTE="scarborough, post: 8316007, member: 93146"]CT Colleagues 1. I write to ask if anyone can assist with this provenance puzzle. I'm hoping that someone can recognize the dealer who wrote the envelope and label. 2. I purchased the following Roman Republican didrachm [ATTACH=full]1472417[/ATTACH] Roman Republic, Southern Italy (?) mint, 225 - 214 BC, 21mm, 6.22g obv: laureate head of Janus rev: ROMA incuse in raised tablet. Jupiter in quadriga, hurling thunderbolt and holding sceptre Cr 30/1, Syd 64b, BMCRR R-Camp 94ff 3. ... which came with the following old tag and label: [ATTACH=full]1472418[/ATTACH] Partially erased is "VF / Choice VF 32.50" 4. I know the coin isn't rare, and let's leave aside the original seller's grading ideas (!), but does anyone recognize the dealer's documentation or writing? 5. It would be nice to see if someone could at least identify the dealer. 6. My guess is that a price of 32.50 (dollars?) would place the envelope sometime in the 1970s. Any help or suggestions are welcome. Thanks for your consideration. D[/QUOTE]
