Notes

• Schaefer Notes: ex RBW
• New Notes: The images for the lots of this auction are mixed up at least in the online records. The image of this coin appears as lot 150 on CoinArchives, but the lot is for a denarius (RRC 113/1). This semis is actually lot 144 and cited correctly as ex Vecchi 3 lot 105, though the wrong image is illustrated on CoinArchives. Schaefer erroneously identifies this coin as ex Garrett 29 Mar 1985, 362 following the description for Agora 53 lot 150 but that coin is the denarius. On the Agora website the image for lot 150 is correctly the denarius, but the image for lot 144 is still incorrect (duplicate of lot 137).
