Hi Gert,
Thank you for your reply.
It is indeed possible that it is the same type of seal.
As I have other similar seals in my collection, I will see if I can get more details.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
Danny

Ancient Coin Forum / Anyone know anything about the Weise collection?

« Last post by Ron C2 on Today at 10:31:24 am »

One of the big US auction houses has been auctioning off the Weise collection for what looks like a couple months now, and many of the coins are very high condition, many are very rare, etc. lots of Roman imperial, some Hellenistic, etc.

In the specialty areas I collect, it has included coins I’ve never seen before, some uniques not in ric or the big museum collections, etc.

I had not heard of this collection before but based on what is posted in the sales it looks to have mostly been put together in the 2000-2005 timeframe.

The size and quality of it would have cost a king’s ransom to build in just 5 years with prices at that time.

Anyone know who Weise is or was? Was he/she a member here?

Best!
