<p>[QUOTE="Andrew McCabe, post: 3785920, member: 90666"]Well done but your sleuthing is far from over. Have a brief rest and then get onto pursuing the information that modern Schulman provided you </p><p>- one coin was bought by "Basel" ie Monnaies et Medailles Basel (later known as Muezen und Medaillen Basel) who issued over 500 illustrated fixed priced lists and nearly 100 auctions; available to consult at some major numismatic libraries but anyway M&M probably illistrated your coin for sale some time in following years. Pin it down. And the other coin "Ratto" ie in 1950s Mario Ratto who ran some major auctions and also had a FPL run in 1960s onwards. Likewise. More information can be found. Also, if you go to the Schulman sale(s) where your coin(s) appeared in 1950s, you may find either information about a collector or you may find general hints about where coins in the sales often came from, by looking at sample provenances quoted. So you can look back as well as forward in time. Its especially nice to get an early provenance confirmed but thats a start point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
