An interesting case rocking the ancient numismatics: https://www.artnews.com/art-news/ne...oin-fake-provenance-roman-eid-mar-1234659762/ Richard Beale, the owner and managing director of Roma Numismatics, a London-based auction house that dealt in ancient coins, was arrested in New York in January on multiple charges relating to the sale of a multimillion-dollar coin, according to arrest warrants and a report by U.S. Homeland Security Investigations obtained by ARTnews. The ancient coin in question is one of the most valuable in existence. After Julius Caesar was murdered, Brutus minted coins to commemorate the historical event. Only three of these such “Eid Mar” (Ides of March) coins are known to still exist. In 2020, Beale and Roma Numismatics set a world record for an ancient coin sold at auction when they sold the coin for nearly $4.2 millon. It appears now that the coin was sold using false provenance. Court papers here: https://www.numisforums.com/topic/3...parent-arrest-of-richard-beale/#comment-43919
