<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3459340, member: 74968&quot;]I am a fan of auction catalogues. Whenever I win a coin in a auction that has a catalogue, I always ask the auction house for a copy of the catalogue. I enjoy having the catalogue that matches the coins in my collection. For me it adds to the experience of owning the coins. Of course it is also nice to have a record of the provenance for the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of my favourite catalogues is NAC 92 Part II. One of my coins is lot 2133 in the catalogue. The catalogue is notable because it contained many coins from the E.E. Clain-Stefanelli collection. My coin once belonged to her. I really like being able to trace the history of my coin. Knowing that my coin once belonged to her adds to my enjoyment of the coin because it adds to the story of my coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]919866[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I also have the catalogue from the last Jacquier auction. It is notable because like the NAC catalogue it contains the coins of a collection. In this case the auction features the collection of Phillipe Gysen. I was fortunate enough to win 2 coins from this auction. One of them is unique and published only in this catalogue. For that reason this catalogue is an important resource.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]919867[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I could give many other examples. For me, it is important to have the auction catalogues that contain my coins. They are a part of the history of the coins and as such are very useful still.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
