<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robp, post: 4986974, member: 96746&quot;]Provenances from the digital age are somewhat easier given the amount of online archiving, but even these are reliant on someone maintaining the site. If it shuts down, all can be lost. </p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s only one effective way to research provenances and that is to acquire as many auction catalogues as you can get your hands on, the old and the more recent and then do an awful lot of reading, compiling a database of those coins in areas in which you have an interest. That includes coins you don&#039;t yet have, but intend to purchase in the future. By building said database, you are then better prepared to put a coin of interest in perspective relative to its peers when deciding how much to spend, or indeed if it is worth spending money on in the first place. There&#039;s no quickfire solution to this, just perseverance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
