Jochen,

My suggestion:

A coin currently in a private collection should be cited as, for example:

"Coll. C. L. Clay, shown in Numismatikforum, Nov. 2010."

Coins offered online:

"Numismatik Lanz, eBay, 18 Nov. 2010" or

"Numismatik Lanz, VCoins, Nov. 2010" or

"Forvm Ancient Coins, RB48345, Dec. 2010."

A coin in a printed catalogue:

"Rauch 87.I, 8 Dec. 2010, 559."

As Pat says, "ex" should only be used to indicate FORMER owners, as for example

"Coll. C.L. Clay, ex Rauch 87.I, 8 Dec. 2010, 559, shown in FAC, Jan. 2011."

Season's greetings,

Curtis

Dear Pat!

You are right. I have used the term 'ex' in two different ways. If I have written 'ex coll. ABC' it should mean that this coin is 'in' the collection of ABC, at least in the moment I have posted it. If I have written 'ex ABC' without 'coll.' I mean that I have the pic from a seller, in whose possession the coin is - at least I hope so - who offers this coin on a platform.

Do you have a recommendation to differentiate between these two sources?

Best regards!

Of course your form of citation makes no difference whatever for Hristova and Jekov's proposed new editions of their mint monographs, if the authors continue to eliminate any reference to the source of the photos they use, as in their books so far!

But I consider this a bad mistake, and hope that Hristova and Jekov will actually correct it in future editions.

This is actually what I was thinking.  It seems more important to me to have all the coins recorded in AMNG, Ruzicka's and Mushmov's works collated and properly assigned catalogue numbers (whether there is an example to illustrate or not) than to assign precise listings for coins that have come to light in the market.

I'm all for exactness, but the basic framework of these monographs needs to be shored up if they are to be used in a scientific manner. Otherwise they should just be viewed as collector handbooks, not of the same caliber as the aforementioned works.  A thorough editing of all of them wouldn't hurt either.  It seems one may find a mistake on every page of every volume if so inclined.

Unfortunately the nature of the books so far is, "a collection of available photographs of coins of a particular mint, primarily from online catalogues, sales, and databases, with the addition of a number of highly important private collections, all however unsourced, with descriptions of the legends and types and cross references to the excellent AMNG and the useless Mouchmov 1912."

How can one contemplate a corpus of the coins of a lower Danubian or Thracian city without access to the world's best collection of them, in Sofia's National Museum? Yet Hristova and Jekov have not had such access, through no fault of their own as I suppose. AMNG of course catalogues the complete Sofia collection as it was a century ago, but with almost no photographs, and Hristova and Jekov want only illustrated coins for their book, so have to leave Sofia out almost entirely. It's as though you wanted to write a catalogue of Anglo-Saxon coins but were denied access to the British Museum collection!

I also find it extremely regrettable that the authors have abandoned AMNG's clear and essentially chronological arrangement of the coinages, first by governors in chronological order, then by module from large to small, finally by reverse type in the conventional order, gods and goddesses-heroes and personifications-emperors-animals and objects-architectural, the small coins without governor's name coming at the end. Instead Hristova and Jekov arrange the coins of each emperor and empress primarily by reverse type, jumbling together all the different governors and the different modules. Good luck if you want to form some idea of the typological, stylistic, and denominational development of the coinage of a particular city during a particular reign!

Nonetheless, as mere collections of material, the books are highly useful, given the abysmally low quantity of illustrations in AMNG!

#40 (I think a new die combination, and the reverse, at least, a new die)
I saw that the coin offered was very attractive, but with all the combinations already known of Nemesis - Dikaiosyne (Aequitas), I did not expect a new one.
From the partially preserved letters I cannot be sure whether it is Pontianus or Agrippa, though the bottoms of the letters look like  :Greek_Alpha: :Greek_Gamma: :Greek_Rho: rather than  :Greek_Pi: :Greek_Omicron: :Greek_Nu:, but, on the obverse, the boy is certainly called Antoninus rather than Diadumenianos.
