<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 5206633, member: 87200"]I suppose it is nice to have a detailed provenance. The fact is, most if not all of our coins were owned by someone else beforehand. I only have a handful of coins with provenances. If the owner was a personage of some repute, I guess that pushes up the value. I have a few formerly of "the doctor so-and-so collection" suggesting that because the owner was an M.D. they are somehow more valuable. When I or my heirs decide to sell my collection I guess I will tag it with the Dr. designation as well. (Ph.D. in Finance in my case). If it makes more money for the grantees of my trust then I suppose it will be a good outcome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
