Probably because they've been dispersing the coins from Dattari-Savio for a decade now
-
He is unfortunately deceased (as of about two weeks before the kunker sale) and so is Museler who almost certainly would have been able to help and had published the collection before =(

I think the image embed failed, but congrats!

Ancient Gold Coins of Alexander the Great Found in Crete
Hesiod replied to Broucheion's topic in Greek
You won that one? I think I bid on it, though it's been a bit so I can't recall. I did win the next lot so I guess we're auction buddies in a way 😀 -
I'm curious what the coin is and what provenances it had?

Report of Rare Coins and Treasures Discovered at Greece’s Ancient City of Tenea
Hesiod replied to Broucheion's topic in Greek
Three of those coins are quite rare (6 - Stymphalos, 7 - Argolis, and 20 - Thebes) but the others look fairly common for the area -
I'm personally excited to see what you won!
-
Nomos sent out an email saying they'd provide a FPL. In general (though I haven't gone personally), some of the auction houses have inventory not listed online as well –– I've had friends who've gone sent me pictures of coins from Gorny and one of the nordic auction houses (I want to say Bruun, but i can't recall).

Best way is to build or have access to a photo file. Your method is looking for pedigrees others have found and then forgotten which is on the rare side for better firms as they'll look for prior listings of a coin on the search engines

Some interesting auction houses bidding at other auction houses
Hesiod replied to kirispupis's topic in General
Roma's handle at Nomos used to be Nibelung. I haven't kept track recently. -
Fakes- what's the reporting etiquette when you spot them here (or elsewhere)?
Hesiod replied to Deinomenid's topic in General
I don't usually bother with private collectors, but nowadays I mostly only see them on reddit as I've been not reading as much other media. For auctions, I'll send them an email with the reasoning and call it a day (and whine to people who I might have discussed the coin with if it's ignored) -
Naumann is more of a high secret minimum then shill bid to maximum house, imo. I've been underbidder for coins that have gotten relisted on several occasions
-
When two whales want a coin really badly... I have the same reaction about the kroton stater (https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&sid=7084&lot=1033) going for 13k
-
They did, though rare: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4382464 https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?p=lot&sid=7115&lot=407

Out of curiosity, does this apply to the same statement but European instead of Swiss?
-
(And no, I did not provide the savoca linkage myself)
-
Can we ask what you consigned with them? I've mentioned it on the other leu thread, bunch of random stuff – Phaistos Stater, other random Greek, bunch of Roman Provincials, bunch of tiny kyzikene fractions. Any specific coins you'd be asking about? An example of a cheap coin they found a provenance for (which isn't that easy since Savoca doesn't provide any text in their blue auction listings) : https://www.numisbids.com/n.php?lot=989&p=lot&sid=6942
-
This is the date of the work which is used to attribute the coin. It is unrelated to the coin in question. https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=10548540 This is the listing where it sold in Bucephalus, 5 months prior. I have no idea what you're looking at for the other coin. Unless you think the coin was consigned by the consignor to bucephalus and bought back and then sent to Leu. Seems highly unlikely to me (there's a hoard of these and this seems to be one of them. Also who is consigning to Bucephalus?)
-
No proof was provided, merely the allegation from Ken (in the second post). Not sure where the specific coin list is from
-
When I consigned with them they certainly went out of their way to find any and all sales history for the coins I provided
-
They have listings with no provenance claimed whatsoever (just empty on the section), and 2005 is a claim specific which is unlike "the property of a gentlemen" or "the collection of a Romanophile". The problem with the baron dominique claim was that is also specific and (apparently?) verifiable
