<p>[QUOTE=&quot;canudigit, post: 4216710, member: 111193&quot;]Dave right on!&nbsp; That is why the actual provenance is important I think as well.&nbsp; The full story behind this collection may be difficult as all of the real old timers in this family are gone, and what I am handling is only PART of the original entire collection.&nbsp; The originator was a great uncle to my friend who is recently the heiress (POA) .&nbsp; This man was a bachelor and upon his death bequeathed his nephews (3- or 4?) with a portion of his collection. What the rest of the collection consisted of is a mystery at this point.&nbsp; My friend must reach out to any surviving family members who may have another portion- or any information on this Great Uncle.&nbsp; It is my feeling he may have been well known in the numismatic circles of the day.&nbsp; My friend can&#039;t even remember his full name.&nbsp; This is a wealthy family who just did not have that much interest in the clinking clanking collection. Apparently these and the other coins were never discussed among family members??!&nbsp; I am hounding her to find out any facts if possible.&nbsp; I am in charge of how to handle the coins at hand.&nbsp; If they should be taken out of these horrendous pages I&#039;ll have to just do it. The silver I have examined is nothing&nbsp; - rest assured on that.&nbsp; The gold.......about 40 pieces all early US of various denominations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
