<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 8206467, member: 103207&quot;]Pedigreed coins can be good or bad.&nbsp;&nbsp; The good part is that you get to own a coin that was once owned by a well know collector.&nbsp; The bad part is when they are first auctioned off, they usually sell for a high price.&nbsp;&nbsp; Great for the person or estate selling them not that great for the collector.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a number of coins that are pedigreed to big time collectors but, they weren&#039;t bought the first time they were sold.&nbsp;&nbsp; What I&#039;ve noticed is that once the original auction is over and the coins are then sold in a future auction mixed in with other coins they seem to sell for less money.&nbsp; Not aways but very often do.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>John McCloskey is well known to many people but, I didn&#039;t see his coins drawing the excitement that was generated by the sale of the Pitman collection or Bass collection.&nbsp;&nbsp; The coins sold in the recent Heritage auction were mainly good &quot;collector&quot; coins.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t see any coins that I would consider high end.&nbsp;&nbsp; Don&#039;t be surprised to see some of his coins being sold at another auction later this year or in the next few years and realizing a much lower price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
