<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orielensis, post: 4180004, member: 96898&quot;]About a year ago, I bought a small bracteate in hand from Allen Berman, a trusted dealer in medieval coins. It came with a small ticket printed on yellow-ish paper giving a detailed and correct attribution as well as an insanely inflated price. Allen had a larger number of generally very attractive coins with these tickets. He immediately told me that the prices on them were not what he was asking for. Yet, I didn&#039;t inquire about it and just assumed that they were his own tickets – although it kind of surprised me, since I didn&#039;t take Allen for someone who plays the unfortunately popular game of &quot;ask for three times what it&#039;s worth and see what happens&quot; at coin shows.</p><p><br /></p><p>Last week, my wins from FSR 111 arrived, including a nice Septimius Severus with a ticket in the same format and design. This leads me believe that these are neither Allen&#039;s nor Frank&#039;s but come from the stock of a third dealer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Below is a picture of the coins and the two tickets in question. Does anyone here maybe recognize them? Since I&#039;m always a bit obsessed with dealer provenances, I&#039;d be glad to know more.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1075214[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
