<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jack77, post: 256628, member: 9368&quot;]<font face="Times New Roman"><font size="3">After reading Shortgapbob’s thread on ‘Significant Coin Auctions’ I have a question about famous previous owners of coins. </font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">If you purchase a coin or set of coins from a famous coin collector’s collection, does that increase the value over and above the normal value? Does this fact add a premium to the value?</font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">I purchased a 1950 &amp; a 1954 proof set, my wife’s and my birth years, from the Eliasberg collection through my coin dealer, in original cardboard boxes and stapled individual soft plastic sleeves. The boxes have the Eliasberg brother’s names and other info written on the top. I trust my dealer’s word about prior ownership, as he has a fine reputation in the coin community. Yes, I did pay a premium. Also, I have decided to leave them in their original packaging and not slab them. </font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="3">Jack</font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
