<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 3946564, member: 97383&quot;]Michael, Congratulations on your acquisition &amp; discovery <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! It&#039;s always rewarding when you can trace a provenance as far back as possible; it gives the coin greater importance <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I&#039;ve been lucky enough to experience the same thing on several occasions. The coin pictured below I bought from Harlan Berk many years ago &amp; discovered it was pictured in David Sear&#039;s book <b>ROMAN COINS AND THEIR VALUES IV</b>, Copyright 2011, page 111 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! I did write to David asking where he got the coin to photograph &amp; it was too far back for him to remember <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Harlan Berk couldn&#039;t trace it back either <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Oddly the Sear # 12821 is a palindrome (like the word <b>RADAR</b>) &amp; some people say palindromes are an auspicious sign <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Maybe I&#039;m looking too deep into this <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />..... </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1040012[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1040013[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1040014[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1040015[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
