<p>[QUOTE="Mr. Coin Lover, post: 574901, member: 16060"]I'm sure certain coins owned by certain owners carry a premium because things like that are important to some people. I saw on the news once a fairly common guitar sold for thousands becuase of the previous owner, sort of like the elvis shoe thing to me. We seem to be getting more pedigrees as we go along. Shipwreck coins, first day of issue, first strike, and tv appears to like having coins now from certain hoards they name. If these things appeal to someone then buy it of for no other reason as a conversation piece. But to buy a coin based on a pedigree as an investment, I don't think that is a great idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>Two coins in my Peace Dollar collection are supposed to be from a nazi hoard of foreign currency and precious metal coins found toward the end of WWII. Is this true, I have no idea since I have no COA from Adolf. Did I or would I expect anyone else to pay a premium for coins from some story like this? Of course not, but just another possible story to add to where coins have been. If only they could talk and share their experiences[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
