Prov: Ex "Wareham I" Hoard, 1994 (Wareham Dorset, UK), No. 163; Spink Auction 110 (London, 4 Oct 1995), Lot 35 (part of); acq. from Rudi Smits, Roman Coin Auctions 9 Jun 2013 e-Auction (w/ N. Hochrein, DePere WI USA), among lots #85 - 91.
Notes: Rudi Smits (d. 21 Mar 2014) was a Belgian coin seller (Romadrome on MA-Shops) & staff numismatist at Numismall (at the time it was a multi-firm venue like VCoins or MA-Shops, but later acq. by A.C.Canada). He & N. Hochrein had just started RomanCoinAuctions less than a year before his death. I consigned some coins & interacted regularly with Smits for a time, but unfortunately he died within the year. RCA did not continue without him. I kept the 7 "reportedly ex-Wareham" Ants I bought from him. The hoard report published in Coin Hoards of Roman Britain vol X does not illustrate the coins (there were far too many), but did list them individually w/ 0.01g weights (all matched to +/- 0.01g, confirming their provenance).
