<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 7829257, member: 44357&quot;]It&#039;s more than just the insurance of it being genuine (there are certainly fake coins even with early pedigrees). A lengthy pedigree makes the coin much more &quot;portable&quot; - salable to museums and free of cultural property concerns - and the ownership history adds another level of interest to the coin. There were some absolutely incredible collections built over the last centuries and if a coin is part of one of them, it&#039;s probably one of the nicest examples in existence.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>For this coin, for me, the pedigree adds probably $5K vs if it were unpedigreed. That&#039;s not to say that every Jameson coin immediately costs $5K but the coin itself is nice and the pedigree is meaningful, applying more of a multiplicative factor to the value.</p><p><br /></p><p>On other coins, it truly depends. Higher-tier pieces tend to have higher premiums for pedigrees. While it should technically apply uniformly, the price of Roman aurei today is not quite as influenced by pedigree whereas Greek coinage tends to have a sizable premium applied.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
