<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3212617, member: 74968&quot;]I for one will pay more for a coin that has a verifiable provenance. I have a number of coins that fall under this category and I feel lucky to have acquired them. Provenance is becoming more and more important because of the regulations [USER=76440]@Carausius[/USER] wrote about and so having a chain of custody, so to speak, is important. However, just as important to me is the idea that someone notable has owned the coin before. All coins have stories and knowing who owned the coin adds to the story of it. When we buy a coin with a provenance we are also buying the associated stories. Since my collecting interests are mostly historical, story is an important factor both in terms of the story that the obverse and reverse tell and the story told by a chain of ownership.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
