I was just wondering which pedigrees are held in high regard among collectors here. I personally don't put too much value in them, but might increase a little what I'm willing to spend for certain well-known pedigrees. Off the top of my head some of the ones I see often are Omaha Bank Hoard, Manhattan Collection, and Benson. Any other ones you know of or collect? How would you rank them?
We just recently had a thread on the topic: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-coins-with-a-famous-provenances.327517
Usually I don’t buy in to premiums for pedigrees. I also have a thing for classic rock guitars. Thing with those is the classic greats that ring my bell aren’t recognizable to today’s generation. Makes it hard to justify a premium unless I can find another old fart like me with the same interest......... I did get an auction email a while back with Fred Weinberg collection listed. I bid on a couple of those just because I have interacted some with him here on CT. Pockets weren’t quite deep enough though.
Coins with pedigrees have no extra value to me. Separate them from their slab and they are like any other coin. Currency that is signed to me is damaged. Not surprisingly I don't collect autographs either.
