Mine:
It was sold unpedigreed but through some sleuthing and a lot of luck, I've pieced together a pedigree reaching back to ancient Rome:
Calico reference guide plate coin (number 604)
Ex. CNG Auction 78, lot 1744 (May 2008)
Ex. HD Rauch Auction 75, lot 360 (May 2005)
Ex. Lanz Auction 70, lot 166 (Nov 1994), the collection of Margaretha Ley, one of the most famous and successful personalities in the world of fashion
Ex. Leo Biaggi de Blasys (coin 306)
Ex. Bank Leu Auction 30, lot 326 (Apr 1982)
Ex. Auktion Glendining (Jan 14, 1953), lot 22
Ex. J.C.S Rashleigh collection (formed ca. 1920)
Ex. Boscoreale Hoard of 1895
Originally found at Villa Pisanella, part of the wealth of Lucius Caecilius Iucundus and his family.
<< <i>This aureus of Vespasian is from the Boscoreale hoard, a group of Roman gold coins excavated in 1895 in Pompeii, found beneath the ash of Mt. Vesuvius when it erupted in 79AD, resulting in toning on some of the coins (but few are dramatic):

Compare the top 2 images taken with my digital camera, and the next 4 Images taken with my iPhone, versus the bottom 2 Original Heritage Auction Images... She's stunningly beautiful in person. I was surprised by the quality of the handheld iPhone Images.
I was able to examine this coin in hand prior to bidding on it. -- Would you have purchased this coin based solely on the original Heritage Auction Images?
