<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 8216097, member: 110226&quot;]As I muddle along collecting (muddling is the most sophisticated method for me), I due create labels for my coin that include provenance, when it is available.&nbsp; This is usually with auction lots, but occasionally also with coins from dealers.&nbsp; I assume that this information will travel with the coin, but of course there is no assurance.&nbsp; The fact is that the vast majority of my coins have little or no provenance, other than references to the dealers they were purchased from, if I can remember.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for a provenance to my collection or to me personally, heavens no!&nbsp; What an appalling prospect!&nbsp; I am just one of those folks who wish to remain forever faceless.&nbsp; Even the slightest compliment makes me feel uneasy.&nbsp; I guess it all goes back to the water or milk I consumed as a kid.&nbsp; So, if and when the collection hits the market, and I am still around, perhaps a reference such as &quot;From a big pile of stuff in an obscure corner of the Western Hemisphere&quot; will suffice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
