From the Belgica Collection. Ex Classical Numismatic Group Electronic Auction 260 (20 July 2011), lot 69.

The description of Price 2067 and 2068 are identical, except for the cross-references. A comparison of the cross-referenced coins, however, reveals that they are all the same denomination, type, and variety. Thus Price 2068 is redundant, and should be omitted. At the same time, it is also notable that these coins are actually quarter, not half, units--a mistake corrected for Price 2068 by Charles Hersh (in his Corrections, no. 119), per Richard Ashton (though they did not realize the redundancy of 2068).
