Might anyone have a scan of Auktion Auctiones A. G. 23, Basel 1993, Nr. 535?

It should be a rare denarius of Elagabalus RSC 252.

Thanks in advance.

I have it. Do you want just a picture of the coin?

I wanted to confirm if it was the coin in my collection and, if so, if there was any other provenance or information worth noting in the listing.

Here is the coin in question:

O: Laureate bust of Elagabalus, draped, horn. "IMP ANTONINVS PIVS AVG"
R: Elagabalus standing left holding patera over altar. Club in left hand, star in right field."SACRED DEI SOLIS ELAGAB" - RSC 252

Thanks so much Akropolis

Good news. It is the SAME coin!
Taking a picture of a small image in a catalog makes linking difficult.
BUT, note the six black dots of corrosion/deposits in the upper left quadrant of the reverse.
It is the same on both, making the link certain.

PS: You have a SPECTACULAR coin!
Also, there is no provenance cited.
