<p>[QUOTE=&quot;akeady, post: 4507907, member: 83175&quot;]Well, I wouldn&#039;t say I&#039;ve directly paid anything for documents such as pieces of paper but I have bought some coins based mostly on the provenance - a denarius from the Haeberlin Collection and a couple from the Duke Of Northumberland Collection, catalogued in 1856.&nbsp;&nbsp; These were far from the highlights of these collections and made their first sales appearances as parts of group lots.</p><p><br /></p><p>I dug around in the big plastic bag to find a few representative pieces of paper that have come to me accompanying coins and that I will keep.&nbsp;&nbsp; I do need to sort them out better to preserve the connection with the coins and intend to do so, sometime.</p><p><br /></p><p>Clockwise, from top left.</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp; This came with a quinarius from a DNW group lot - there were two quinarii, Augustus RIC 1a &amp; 1b, as it happens.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is a small cardboard holder with a cutout on the other side, on which someone has written the Cohen, Babelon, BMC and (probably) the old RIC numbers.</p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp; This came from Naville and included two CNG sales tags, the previous collector&#039;s envelope (RBW&#039;s) and a tag saying &quot;Blom 84 29&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. This came from Agora and consists of another RBW envelope and a Christian Blom tag from 1980.&nbsp;&nbsp; I paid less in 2016 than this coin cost in 1980.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. From a fellow CoinTalker, an intriguing piece of tissue paper with the legend &quot;T.
