I just won these coins from Leu that are ex Lars Ramskold. Both are also ex Mazzini and the first is a plate coin in MONETE IMPERIALE ROMANE (1957- 1958) which is a five volume set of the finest private collection of Roman coins with over 8000 coins. I don't have Mazzini; but the only volume I am interested in is vol. V; but you never find the set broken up.
