<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 26365615, member: 77639&quot;]Provence value depends on a number of factors.&nbsp; Fame of the hoard, collection or former owner is one.&nbsp; A coin that has been positively identified as one pictured in an important reference book (often referred to as “that coin” in sales catalogs) may have its value enhanced.&nbsp; There can be a time distance value in provenance.&nbsp; For example, the provenance value of a former Norweb, Eliasberg or Bass U.S. coin is a lot higher than that of a Hansen coin.&nbsp; The provenance value of the latter is probably zero because he is still alive, and those coins on the market are his rejects (still amazing coins).&nbsp; A shipwreck provenance adds some value especially if the recovery effort is over.&nbsp; I have a Morgan dollar with a slab label of Michigan Collection.&nbsp; I have no idea what that collection is or was, and it had no influence on the purchase price.&nbsp; For a few bucks, anyone can have their name or collection name put on a slab label.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
