<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7619254, member: 19463&quot;]From what I can see from the screened photos, I agree.&nbsp; Yesterday I was sorting through my attic collection of auction catalogs and came across the Ratto sale of the Cote collection in 1929.&nbsp; (Things like this make me wonder if I really want to dispose of them.) Cote 435 is the same specimen as Vlasto 1087.&nbsp; Cote 436 is the same coin with some variations (quelques variantes - this is my kind of cataloging, not too specific).&nbsp; This coin strikes me as a die match for the reverse of Vlasto 1085 which is my current best guess for mine.&nbsp; The Cote 436 was a very, very nice coin (it realized 100 s.fr ($19.24 in 1929) but the terrible, same size screened photo makes it hard to be certain.&nbsp; That is why I prefer what we have today:</p><p><a href="https://www.kuenker.de/en/archiv/stueck/290419" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.kuenker.de/en/archiv/stueck/290419" rel="nofollow">https://www.kuenker.de/en/archiv/stueck/290419</a></p><p>It sure would have been nice if all those old catalogs (the ones that will go in the recycle when I die) had been shot on a digital camera - even a lousy one - an saved as electronic files.&nbsp; I wonder if any of those files will still be readable in another century or will all those Cloud files go away without leaving a trace. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I believe the left magistrate is delta rather than lambda.&nbsp; Where did you get the names as expanded?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
