<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2008717, member: 19463&quot;]Every one of us has a provenance.&nbsp; Some of us don&#039;t know who daddy was.&nbsp; I have 16 great grandparents and know the names of 8.&nbsp;&nbsp; One of the 8 is connected with an interesting (to me) story and I have a tintype photo of him.&nbsp; He is worth more than the others.&nbsp; If he had been President of the US, that would be worth more.&nbsp; If he had been hanged for being a thief, that would be worth more (especially if I had that photo!).&nbsp;&nbsp; It is the same with the coins.&nbsp; Being part of a recent hoard found in England adds very little interest to a coin.&nbsp; Having been the denarius handed to Jesus in the Tribute Penny story (and could prove it!!!) would be priceless.&nbsp; It all depends on what we will pay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
