THE LUGDUNUM AUCTION 23Dr. Jonas Emmanuel Flueck writes:
"Interesting I find, is a small collection of almost 100 Greek coins that nearly all have a documented provenance. They come from a collection made by a Swiss collector from the 1970s to the 1990s. If you look at the decription of the provenances on Numisbids, I have added a link to my Ex Numis site that shows, when you click on a given provenance, the picture of the coin in the original catalogue. I call it Ex Numis Check. It helps to make sure that the given provenance is correct. "I have also done videos of the Ancient coins." Here are some selected lots that caught my eye. -Editor
