<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tall Paul, post: 24848625, member: 114635&quot;]I just read this thread and it is an amazing collection of additions to your collection. Many posters have already commented on the beauty of your photographs, and the scholarly write-ups of your presentation. The question that I wanted to ask has also been answered regarding the Turner trunk. I did participate in the Stack Bowers sale of coins from the Salton collection and I was able to procure the treasure shown below.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was extremely fortunate to pick the coin up for the price I paid. Two later offerings of similar coins went for twice what I paid.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for sharing your photos and scholarship.</p><p><br /></p><p>Credit for the photos and the description belong to Stack Bowers.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://images3-cdn.auctionmobility.com/is3/auctionmobility-static-cluster3/oZGx-1-11DHZ/3-UPO0U/5662cb47-b44b-40a2-8146-554cb36ce785?width=720&amp;height=720&amp;resizeinbox=true&amp;backgroundcolor=eeeeee" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="https://images3-cdn.auctionmobility.com/is3/auctionmobility-static-cluster3/04UR-1-11DHZ/3-UPO0W/81cf7048-c8bc-48a7-a653-1a495ec35ee6?width=720&amp;height=720&amp;resizeinbox=true&amp;backgroundcolor=eeeeee" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>LOT DESCRIPTION</p><p><b>ITALY.
