Bastien 128 (projected only, no spec. found). RIC 26 (R, citing BM, probably in error). Our coin is apparently the first known of this variety for Decentius at Ambianum, confirming the hypothesis of Bastien 128 and Late Roman Bronze Coinage 16 that such a coin should exist. Mint State Since this type and mintmark are definitely known for Magnentius, they could be expected to occur for Decentius also. RIC 26 cites such a coin of Decentius from the British Museum, but probably in error, since Bastien 128 projects the type only, and could find no actual specimen anywhere

Fine Since the mintmark RPLG occurs for Magnentius, Bastien assumes that RSLG must have been struck for Decentius, though no such coin has yet been recorded.

Rx: IOVI CONS AVG Goat-stag mixture walking left, S (=officina 6) in exergue. A rare and elaborate left-facing military bust, Göbl`s bust r, unknown to him in combination with this reverse type, his 730, so apparently a unique new variety. (2) 2.64g, 1h. Obv: GALLIENVS AVG Bust radiate, draped, cuirassed right, one wreath tie overlaps neck. Rx: APOLLINI CON[S] AVG Centaur walking right about to shoot arrow from bow, Z (=officina 7) in exergue. Normanby Hoard pl. 10, 342 (same obv. die) = Göbl pl. 57, 735w (bust misclassified as cuirassed only rather than draped and cuirassed); not in Cunetio hoard, RIC, or Cohen with this bust type. Appparently only the second recorded specimen with this bust type, and from the same obverse die as the first specimen, which was part of the Normanby hoard. (3) 2.99g, 11h. Obv: G[ALLIEN]VS AVG Bust radiate, cuirassed right, seen from front, fold of cloak on front shoulder. Rx: DIANAE CONS AVG Gazelle standing right, XI (=officina 11) in exergue. Göbl 747u (1 spec.), RIC 181, Cohen 164. Very rare with bust cuirassed instead of the standard "Head radiate right". Göbl knew only one such specimen, whose source he unfortunately misquotes. There may have been another example in Cunetio 1402, not illustrated, if the bust description there is erroneous ("draped and cuirassed, seen from front"). VF to Fine

Very rare reverse variant with hippocamp left rather than right, unknown to Cohen and not represented in the Cunetio hoard. Göbl 742b records four specimens, illustrating one from the Baldersdorf hoard. (2) 2.95g, 12h. A similar coin with hippocamp left, but with bust radiate, cuirassed right on the obverse, an apparently unpublished bust variant of this rare coin. The hippocamp is larger and has a fork-like fin emerging behind its front legs. (3) Salonina, Milan, Antoninianus, 2.37g, 5h. Obv: SALONINA AVG Bust draped right on crescent, wearing stephane. Rx: VENVS [VI]CT Venus standing left holding helmet and transverse scepter; a fold of drapery hangs from her left elbow, but there is no shield there. Reverse type variant of Göbl 1313r (11 spec.), RIC 67 corr., and Cohen 127, apparently unpublished without the shield behind Venus on which she usually rests her left elbow. VF to EF
Lot of Three Rare Animal Antoniniani of Gallienus. (0h). . Mint of Rome, c. 267-8 AD. (1) 2.95g, 7h. Obv: GALLIENVS AVG Head radiate right. Rx: LIBERO.P.CONS AVG Tigress walking and looking right, B (=officina 2) in exergue. Göbl 715b (6 spec.), RIC 230, Cohen 591 (BM, 3 Fr.). Rare with tigress walking right rather than left: Göbl`s photofile included only six such coins, there were none in the Cunetio hoard, and Cohen 591 cited this variety from the BM, meaning that it was not in the Paris collection in his day. Moreover, our coin shows the tigress looking forward, not with raised head as on the Vienna specimen illustrated by Göbl, pl. 56, 715b, and the BM specimen reproduced by Carradice`s sketch in the Cunetio report, p. 190, fig. 4. (2) 3.09g, 11h. Obv: GALLIENVS AVG Head radiate right. Rx: APOLLINI CONS AVG Griffin standing right, Δ (=officina 4) in exergue. Göbl 721b (2 spec.), RIC 166, Cohen 75 (Paris, 1 Fr.). Very rare variant with griffin standing right rather than striding left as usual. Göbl 721 knew of only two such coins with obverse legend GALLIENVS AVG like ours, plus six specimens with obverse legend IMP GALLIENVS AVG; there were no specimens of either variety in the Cunetio hoard. (3) 2.38g, 6h. Obv: IMP GALLIENVS AVG Head radiate r. Rx: APOLL[INI CON]S AVG Griffin sitting l., Δ (=officina 4) in exergue. Göbl 722z, Cunetio 1350 (1 spec.), RIC 165, Cohen 78 (citing BM, 3 Fr.). Rare with griffin sitting left rather than striding left. There was only one such coin in the Cunetio hoard; Cohen cites it from the BM, indicating its absence in the Paris collection in his day. Göbl`s Table 20 alleges that he knew 66 specimens of this coin, but that figure must be an error, meant to apply to some other variety. VF to Fine

Perugia, 1942. 4to, original printed card covers. xxxi, (1), 202 pages; 7 superb photographs depicting ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine coins, Italian coins, engraved gems and jewelry. Inscribed and signed by Baranowsky. Fine. An extremely rare catalogue, and an important photographic record. It is one of only a few examples we have encountered in four decades. The text features an Elenco delle Opere Fondamentali; a description of coin grading; an “elenco” of important European auction sale catalogues featuring ancient Greek, Roman, Italian, Papal and other coins; followed by a catalogue of over 2600 items, with printed values exceeding 1.2 million lire.
Various. OVER 250 OFFPRINTS AND EXTRACTS FROM VARIOUS NUMISMATIC PUBLICATIONS. Housed in four large clasp-locking cardboard filing boxes. Varying formats. Approximate dates 1870–1999. Condition varies, but generally near fine. Includes some photocopies and whole works, but mostly original offprints. Some inscribed by authors. See comments. A veritable trove of information in a number of languages, taking a multitude of forms and from a very wide variety of publications.

Clain-Stefanelli 1929*. Daehn 2045. Grierson 57. Kroh 10: “The most striking thing about this collection is the superb quality and style of the 3,152 coins (of which 2,520 are Greek). It remains to this day one of the finest collections ever formed by an individual and all coins are illustrated on 164 plates. Dispersed throughout the trade in the 1940’s and 1950’s, many of the finest items to appear in recent sales are ‘Jameson’ coins.”

Lacking engraved portrait of Frederick II called for. Minor intermittent spotting. Near fine. A massive, quite handsome production, meticulously recording the remarkably fine collection assembled by the princes of Saxe-Gotha. According to Babelon, at the turn of the twentieth century it still “formed the core of the current collection of Gotha.” Bassoli, however, reports that the collection was dispersed at the end of World War II. Babelon 113. Bassoli 32. Clain-Stefanelli (Numismatics—An Ancient Science) page 31: “The little principality of Saxe-Gotha could claim an important collection which had been assembled by its princes. Frederick II (1691–1732) proclaimed that he created this cabinet ‘for the reputation of Our Princely House, and for the good of the public.’” Hennin 218. Hirsch 76. Lipsius 229. Strandberg 103.
