    That's OK. I logged on to Collectors Universe this morning (for the first time in a month or two), and my new Amazon Fire tablet autocorrected my username to "Lord Marginal". :facepalm:

    Thanks for the brutal honesty there, Autocorrect!

    I always love envelopes and tags with interesting notes on them. This one came with a Republican bronze I purchased a while back and mentions the find context of the coin:

    Another from the same collection describes how the coin was cleaned and what it was like before cleaning:

    I still don't know what the text at the top refers to(looks like Santamaria 88 but I'm not sure if that's a dealer or an auction or what).

    Find provenance is ALWAYS cool, and every bit as interesting as a famous collector pedigree would be- maybe even more so. That's a really cool notation.

    I've provided such notes when I sold some of my buddy's detecting finds (I don't sell my own dug coin finds.) For example, I once sold a high grade and very well preserved 1798/7 Draped Bust cent he dug, and noted in detail the contemporary counterfeit 1775 British halfpenny that had turned up in the same hole.

    These also have famous collector provenance as well, to the Goodman collection which is probably the most complete collection of RR bronzes built in the last century or so, but I agree that the find provenance is very cool as well and something I'm always a fan of. Your example with that British Halfpenny is pretty cool as well and definitely something I'd note on my tags for future collectors.
