This new part of rnumis is designed for provenance exploration. It's different from other auction research sites as we cover much older sales and searches can be filtered by Weight as well as Region, Issuer, and Metal (more filters and auctions will be added). When researching a coin we'd like it to be easy to check the older references.

In cases where a provenance is known (or later found by us) we tie connected appearances together in a Provenance Chain, denoted by . Heres's an example: Akragas Tetradrachm. Click on individual coin cards for chains and more auction & lot details, including prices and links to external catalogs.

Using this page we are spotting new provenance connections every day. If you see a new one, let us know!
