Why slabbed?

I have a raw coin pedigreed back to the early 1940s. Ugly, corroded, rare. I have others that I can trace back to being plated in books 30 years old.

 

what do you mean by pedigreed?

 

He means coins in a coffin....ya know slabbed, graded, pedigreed with papers in a plastic death chamber.
LOL...

Like this from the Bingham Collection: A super cool plastic death chamber with a pedigree, "T" designation, and a star designation, all with an MS67.

OK. so nobody has a Binion, Fitzgerald, Battle Creek, or Omaha Bank Hoard coin in their collection. I find that extremely difficult to believe.

 

I'll play:

 

Although I myself don't own any, there are many ancient coins available from the John Quincy Adams collection. As in the former President. There's a pedigree I'd like!

 

I can't play in that league, but I like looking!

 

Some might have them but are embarassed to admit it.

The whole attribution thing was pretty much ruined by the folks at shop at home tv's coin vault. They would buy a couple bags of peace dollars or Morgans and name it this hoard or that hoard as a marketing scheme.

Now I avoid attributed coins like the plague. If I liked the coin and had to have it, I would crack it out. I don't care if the coin was buried in the desert outside Las Vegas buy some crazy guy.

 

This is the only one I have left.

 

Please define "pedigreed". Are "hoards" an example of pedigree?

That asked, I have a large number of pedigreed coins, most are large cents. Here's a modest example from the Rasmussen collection:



Have fun...Mike
