The pedigree of this coin is interesting. It was owned by George Bauer, who is primarily known for his Roman bronze collection. The coin was likely purchased by the dealer Edward Gans (1887-1991), who lived to the ripe old age of 104 years. Gans was born in Hamburg, Germany and worked as a banker. In 1938, likely due to the war, he moved to New York and finally settled in 1953 in Berkeley, CA. Some would be interested to note that prior to 1975, Gans worked under the name NFA (Numismatic Fine Arts). After 1975, this name was used (with permission from Gans of course) by the infamous Bruce McNall to form the NFA that most collectors are familiar. According to the Newman Portal, Edward Gans offered to sell his numismatic library to the ANA but fund raising was actively dedicated for the move to the current headquarters in Colorado Springs. With that rejection, Gans arranged for the library, which contained over 10,000 titles to go to the UCLA library. In addition to this his collection of seals was donated in 1987 to UCLA. This coin came from the last auction sale Gans conducted in 1960.
