<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billy Kingsley, post: 892661, member: 19456&quot;]I have a difference of opinion within myself on this whole topic. I oft say that history is my passion, and it&#039;s why I collect coins. Yet I also don&#039;t particularly care who owned the coin before I did. I even prefer circulated examples over uncirculated! (Because they actually made the history that I love)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>They should go hand in hand but yet for me, they don&#039;t. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A large part of that may be in the fact that I don&#039;t care what anyone says about the coins...including grading services or former owners...I judge each coin based on it&#039;s own indivigual merit. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Both the coins in this thread are spectacular, and had I the means/or was there then, both or either could have found their way into my collection. But not because of the previous owner, because they are quality coins that I would enjoy studying for years to come. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I don&#039;t even know who that Boyd person is, though I do know of Adams. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Perhaps one day my collection will carry the pedigree...I wouldn&#039;t know though as I don&#039;t plan to be on this plane of existance when/if that should happen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
