<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scarborough, post: 6563964, member: 93146&quot;]I’d like to get back to the main premise of his thread to ask a couple of questions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Firstly, if our coin is not photographed in an auction catalogue featuring a named collection how can we ourselves prove provenance?</p><p><br /></p><p>(I think the answer is that we cannot.)</p><p><br /></p><p>And secondly if we cannot prove provenance, how valuable is that claim if challenged?</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I ask my second question is that members here have written of the importance of provenance in an increasingly regulated market. But I would think that if challenged by any governmental authority the only proof would be a photo in a catalogue that pre-dates regulations. No?</p><p><br /></p><p>This note isn’t to be negative about anyone’s collecting preferences; it’s to benefit from others’ experience.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you</p><p><br /></p><p>D[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
