<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 8450181, member: 26430&quot;]Yes, very likely the provenance is out there to be found. Often takes me a long time to discover new provenances for a coin like this if it doesn&#039;t immediately pop up in one of the easy sources. I look for all mine at once by just steadily flipping through the plates of every old catalog I can find (it works!). (There are at least 1,000s of pre-2000 [i.e., pre-ACSearch] catalogs online if not 10,000s.)</p><p><br /></p><p>As [USER=93146]@scarborough[/USER] suggested, my first stop for Sicilian / Italian is rNumis&#039; &quot;<a href="https://www.rnumis.com/greek_coins_top.php?geo0=All&amp;geo1=All&amp;curpage=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.rnumis.com/greek_coins_top.php?geo0=All&amp;geo1=All&amp;curpage=1" rel="nofollow">The Provenance Project - Italy &amp; Sicily</a>&quot; (a tremendous service that Steve Moulding seems to have basically donated -- I hope it stays that way!). The nice thing about it is the coins are listed by weight (you can also check by mint, yours would be under Sicily / Siculo-Punic, I believe).</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, worth checking Jenkins. If you don&#039;t have his book, the articles are online: I think this would be in 1971. <a href="https://www.academia.edu/42605409/JENKINS_G_K_Coins_of_Punic_Sicily_Part_I" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.academia.edu/42605409/JENKINS_G_K_Coins_of_Punic_Sicily_Part_I" rel="nofollow">Coins of Punic Sicily, Part I</a>. <i>Schweizerische numismatische Rundschau</i>. (There are three other parts.) In a quick glance at the plates I didn&#039;t notice yours, but there are others described, not plated, and yours might be among them if you find which dies are yours. You can track down many of the auctions listed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have started to collect 1990s FPLs &amp; sale catalogs but don&#039;t seem to have any World Wide Treasure Bureau... this is a coin they&#039;d surely want to have put in their print catalogs. I&#039;ve seen some for sale at Forvm.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
