<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1085588, member: 19463&quot;]I&#039;m glad to see you set your sights high for the future. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; We all would like to think that our treasures will be appreciated and the efforts we made to learn about them would not go to waste but it is probably a good thing that the worms will have their way before we find out that our denarii were melted for bullion.&nbsp; In my case I wonder if my grandson will develop an interest in keeping my coins or, perhaps, benefit financially from selling coins that had starred in my web pages.&nbsp; I own a coin that appeared in the Numismatist magazine before I bought it but must not have cared a lot since I have lost the issue (or just can&#039;t find it anymore).&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It has been shown that there is a slight premium paid for coins from collections of note.&nbsp; Currently there is a dealer selling coins from the collection of Victor Failmezger.&nbsp; He specifies when a coin was illustrated in a plate.&nbsp; Does that make the coin worth more?&nbsp; Every so often you see coins that made the plates for Fred Shore&#039;s excellent book on Parthian coins but you have to wonder how long after a book goes out of print that anyone will continue making that note.&nbsp;&nbsp; Would you like to own a coin that appear in your reference book?&nbsp; Would you pay extra?&nbsp;&nbsp; Major dealers like CNG always note when a coin was once part of a &#039;name&#039; collection but, again, I wonder how many buyers cared and bid more to have a coin with a pedigree.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
