<p>[QUOTE=&quot;srkjkd, post: 362322, member: 7248&quot;]hi ben!</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; hope your daughter and all&nbsp; involved are doing well.&nbsp; i truly would love to know my coin&#039;s pedgree as well as history. it will probably make me pay a premium, but not for grade. grade is grade and still subjective !!! don&#039;t think i will ever worry about buying king farouk&#039;s coins!!!!!</p><p>&nbsp; however, off topic, i have books from my martial arts instructors which i purchased at face value $19.95, that are now worth close to $200 because they were never allowed a reprint.</p><p>&nbsp; they are worth even more due to the fact that my instructors&#039; have signed them.&nbsp; once again, as in coins, they are only worth what someone else will pay, but still, due to another collector or student&#039;s interest,, they are worth more. it is only from mine and their viewpoint(and others who share the same opinion).</p><p>&nbsp; from a personal viewpoint, i honestly think i would pay more money for a pedigreed david bowers&#039; coin than a coin from an unknown collector, no offense to them.</p><p>&nbsp; it doesn&#039;t really make economic sense, but due to my admiration for him, i would pay more. he has taught me so much thru his books, auction catalogues, and columnns.&nbsp; &nbsp; the premium would still depend upon my economic situation and what the item was.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; only my opinion, however and everyone has their own viewpoint and &quot;heroes&quot;.....great topic&nbsp; Ben....steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
