[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 8599027, member: 24754"]I'm not talking about secrecy with respect to the owner, I'm talking about secrecy with respect to the coin's appearance/existence. I can't think of any rational reason that I would not want the world knowing that my coins exist, but then again, I do not deal in million dollar coins. This example in particular sparked my curiosity on the matter because [USER=79368]@Barry Murphy[/USER] said "[I]The sixth known[/I]", as opposed to "[I]One of six known[/I]", which leads me to believe that the coin wasn't known to the wider community until it showed up for grading (or maybe I'm misinterpreting this). In the case that a person has a coin this rare, that is relatively unknown to the collecting community, maybe they would want to keep it that way for some reason? Dunno. They have to return the coin to somebody....... I guess I'd start there. Unless I'm missing something, I do not think that the coin in question was said to have been sent in by an auction house. But, if the coin is being evaluated for the purpose of auctioning, then of course, publishing pictures would almost certainly not be a problem. In any case, like I said in the original post, I'm not being judgmental. I do not feel one way or the other about "whether" permission should be obtained, I'm just curious about whether it has (or about Barry's, NGC's, or other's perspectives on the matter).[/QUOTE]
