<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2655964, member: 19463&quot;]The only time I consider it appropriate to place a name on a sale is when that sale represents a person who contributed to the study of the coins being sold or passed away leaving a life&#039;s work not just a few hundred coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; We have coins from Alexandria flagged from the massive Dattari collection and books organizing them.&nbsp; Fred Shore is quite alive but wrote a book based on his collection since dispersed.&nbsp; I consider coins used to illustrate that book notable but coins I buy from him at a coin show now that he bought recently are no more that items in the trade.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I prefer coins of mine used in books be noted as &#039;Private Collection&#039;.&nbsp; When I am gone, no one will care who owned them unless I do something soon like run for President or write the next Star Wars level blockbuster.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
