<p>[QUOTE=&quot;YOC, post: 2008523, member: 58941&quot;]I have read members comments on other threads on the value of good provenance and have seen coins described as being from &#039;such and such&#039; hoard sell for £50 when other coins of the same type/grade have sold for £10.&nbsp;&nbsp; My question is, what value do you put on provenance.......</p><p>I know coins from well known and respected collectors are deemed to have provenance......but what if you knew exactly where, to within a square meter on a map a coin came from?&nbsp; With photos of the finder and hoard? with museum reports detailing each and every coin?</p><p>I am curious because I am in the process of buying a disclaimed hoard......800 coins found with pot fragments, photographed in situ, recovered with the aid of archaeologists, reported, recorded and soon to be disclaimed?&nbsp; Coins are mainly of Probus and Tacitus.&nbsp; &nbsp; Is a coin with a value of £15 if sold without provenance, worth £30 with all the above? more...or less? </p><p>Just thought I would see what you all thought...... I am interested as to the value experienced collectors put on such things..</p><p>Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
