[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2453581, member: 76194"]I recently purchased these two coins from Agora Auctions, for an average price of $63 per coin (including shipping and auction house fees). [ATTACH=full]512904[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]512905[/ATTACH] None of these coins had any provenance listed for them, nor did the description mention that there would be any collection tickets along with the coins, so I expected to receive the coins with a simple Agora Auctions ticket and nothing else.

Although I never met the great Tom Cederlind, nor had the pleasure of purchasing a coin from him, I've heard so many great things about him that I am deeply honored to have these two coins that passed through his hands in my collection. It makes owning these great coins a little extra special. Maybe it doesn't mean as much to others, but I'm glad I've got two of his coins.
