<p>[QUOTE=&quot;curtislclay, post: 8217012, member: 89514&quot;][USER=90981]@Shea19[/USER], here, from CoinArchives, is the provenance Leu supplied for your coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;From the S. Pozzi Collection, privately purchased from K. Alber on 15 July 1972 and previously acquired from E. Dietrich, Zurich.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think this is intentionally deceptive. Leu is stating the provenance in reverse chronological order, as is logical and customary: present owner of the coin is S. Pozzi, who bought it from K. Alber in 1972; before that it had belonged to E. Dietrich in Zurich.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, since S. Pozzi&#039;s collection of Greek coins is so famous, I think Leu might have added a note of clarification: that the S. Pozzi who owned your tetradrachm was a different person from the famous collector of Greek coins that Naville sold in their first sale (1921), and who had been assassinated by one of his patients in 1918.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
