<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1382329, member: 27832&quot;]Of <i>course</i> known history isn&#039;t the only thing that makes a coin worth keeping.</p><p><br /></p><p>I interpreted d.t.menace&#039;s comment as referring to <i>family</i> history. And that&#039;s what I was talking about, too. The coin might have been given to a nearly-forgotten great-grandfather by an even-more-nearly-forgotten great-great-great-grandfather -- but if nobody alive knows the story, that story is lost, and keeping the coin in the family can&#039;t bring it back. Its <i>known</i> history starts with whoever currently holds it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
