| LOL. Provenance. I knew someone would call me on that. You cant push my buttons. This place is way to laid back for that It is one svdb that has a provenance, I personally havent seen to many with one. It formerly resided in the Norweb collection. Not sure how many collectors are into the provenance thing, but I do like knowing a big time collector of their day thought it deserving enough to be in their collection. |

I would love to have it in mine thats for sure.
One thing about this site vs across the street. No uppity snobs here, we do not judge others on their wallet or their connections.....
Here in Phoenix, we call it Snottsdale for a reason, uppity and snooty people. This site is not like that.

A couple of months ago I bid on a Proof Liberty Nickel on Teletrade. I don't recall the exact grade (probably PF-64 or 65) but it had a provenance. It had been in Walter Breen's collection. I bid a fair amount over Grey Sheet but it was a No Sale. I don't know what the reserve was for that coin.

So far this site has been very positive in my collecting.
I have afew "pricey" coins, but Im mostly a budget collector. I like collecting what I can afford.
Not knocking the "big" money spenders, just not one of them. Yet.
If I had a choice between 2 coins that were very similiar in apperance, and 1 had a provenance and 1 did not. I'd go with the one that had it.
Its theonly provenanced coin I own currently, but I do plan to add some more. Maybe a coin from all the "great" collectors. Like a type set of sorts.

The average price of PCGS graded MS-65 Red specimens is at $7,367 and Coin Values gives a price of $8,500! Due to the coin's provenance, if offered through Bowers & Merena who sold the majority of the Norweb Collection or through Heritage at the 2008 May Long Beach, CA Signature Auction, it is possible that the coin could bring $10,000 and possibly more. I think that this kind of final bid price is possible, especially with the current feeding frenzy that is going on for early Lincoln Cents!

Really?
Id really be interested in that. I was thinking of selling or at least taking offers, but I didnt think of that. I dont think I would want to put it on ebay.
Who knows, maybe its one to tuck away for several decades and give to the kid.
It was my very first key date and my first svdb.

You guys and gals are starting to give me a complex as many times when I make a post, the Thread dies and no other posts are made! I am sure that bajablu as well as myself, would like to read some follow-ups about a possible price, his' 1909-S VDB Cent might bring due to it's Norweb Collection provenance. My assumptions may be wrong and totally off the wall "per say" and lots of opinions and thoughts are always better than a few.

LOL, this place is great.
Should this be a coin thats sold at an auction? Like by heritage or Bowers & Marina? I dont think ebay would be the best. I think I would worry to much about getting hosed.
