<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3071786, member: 76194&quot;]You don&#039;t know that. And even if it was &quot;no one of any note&quot; who handled these coins, so what? History doesn&#039;t happen in a vacuum by great men living in total isolation. Even the humblest craftsman, poor person, prostitute, etc., who lived during those times is part of the history of our past. They might not have made the books, but it is these people who made up the society which could sustain and produce &quot;people of note&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Also pure speculation in your part. That mint state coin could have just as easily sat forgotten in a bank vault for many decades until sold off to collectors a few decades ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>Besides, most coin collectors in the world are not rich. That coin with wear which you dismiss so casually could have just as easily been treasured and loved within the humble collection of some boy from a working class family. YES, this is speculation in my part, but it is not less believable than your fancy story about some dignitary owning your Mint State coins, or them being this major family heirloom to people in the past. In fact, I contend my story might be slightly more plausible than yours.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
