<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ignoramus Maximus, post: 7297002, member: 104741&quot;]I&#039;m not a lawyer either, but provenance is not mentioned in the terms, only (among other things) attribution and the rather broad term &#039;other descriptions&#039;, which are &#039;the opinion of the cataloguer&#039;. Provenance relates to verifiable facts, not to the opinion of the cataloguer. So, as I read it, a faulty provenance is not covered by this article, and you might (possibly) still have legal recourse on the grounds that the coin you buy is demonstrably and factually not what it purports to be. (and all the more so, if you can demonstrate that provenance affects value/ legality etc.). But, as said, I&#039;m no lawyer...Ask [USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER], she&#039;s the in-house legal specialist. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I bought this one from Leu. According to them, it was previously sold in the CNG e-auction 399, lot 120. I checked and it wasn&#039;t. Didn&#039;t really bother me at the time. I just assumed someone somewhere made an innocent mistake which the auction house simply copied. But it does demonstrate the carelessness of the auction house in checking provenances. And often, finding carelessness in one area of a business might suggest an increased likelihood of finding carelessness in other areas as well. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1276654[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
