I could care less if someone down the line decides coins from my collection with the label "Sallent Collection" or "Collection of a California Dentist" don't have any extra value....that's up to the future bidders to use their brains and decide for themselves whenever my collection goes for sale (when I get too old and decide to downsize, or die). The facts remain that those attributions are factual and not misleading. My coins, which I personally own, are the Sallent Collection. That is an easily verifiable statement.
