<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 2008702, member: 22729&quot;]Provenance is very important to me whether the coin was previously owned by a famous collector or by a ham-n egger like me. I&#039;ve kept records of every coin I&#039;ve acquired in the last 40 years or so. They include the date I bought it, the amount I paid, who sold or gave it to me and general notes of interest. I&#039;ve actually researched some pieces to see if I could come up with previous auctions or sales results for the coin. Many times when I bid on a counterstamp I&#039;ll contact the seller and see if they know anything of interest about it.</p><p>As far as added value goes...I would say double the &quot;book&quot; value or even more depending on how much I&#039;m interested.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
