<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24836689, member: 26430&quot;]Nice coins from Turner coll, especially the Gratian (I think I may have watch listed that one at some point, or another of the same type). Quite an interesting collection history!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Nice group! Note that it was the prior collector (whose handwriting is on the front) who bought it in Istanbul 1946. It seems like Salton may have bought that person&#039;s entire collection (prob. 1950s-60s,&nbsp; when he bought full colls. regularly).</p><p><br /></p><p>A bunch of his Roman coins sold at the Künker sales were still in these peach-colored envelopes (dozens or 100s), many acq. by the collector in Istanbul (and a few other locations) c. late 1940s.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a few hypotheses, but haven&#039;t yet been able to figure out for sure who it was (I&#039;ll let you know when I do; I may need to see all his old FPLs).</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s Salton&#039;s distinctive neat handwriting in blue added to the back of the old envelope (also a common practice of his).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
