BCD Ticket Question - Who is Seller "Thr.S. Jan 1997" ?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hi All,

I'm tracking down  a provenance for my one and only BCD coin (below). The coin was originally purchased by BCD in Jan 1997 from "Thr.S." . I assume it's a Swiss dealer, since we have a price of Swiss Francs 50. Any idea who that seller might be? (Sorry for the dark image.)
