bosox Pillar of the Community United States 1353 Posts	Posted 04/27/2012 3:06 pm 1914 PCGS and ICCS MS-65 Red. Photo through the ICCS plastic. The coin is much nicer than this photo shows. I need to re-image, now that it is in the PCGS holder. I won the coin in spirited bidding at the auction of the Dominion Collection at about twice trends. It was the nicest large cent in his collection. Both I, and the dealers who were bidding against me, thought this could go 66. Alas, PCGS put it in a 65 holder. Probably a 65+ under their secure grading system. http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Literary Award Winner, 2020 J. Douglas Ferguson Award Winner, & 2022 Paul Fiocca Award Winner.

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 04/30/2012 10:38 am My only slabbed large cent. A recent impulse buy.I read an article from the '50s stating that provenance was an important factor in the desirability of a coin.I figure I've got a pooch with a pedigree why not a penny.And who better than John J. Pittman (the Canadian spelling of his name always includes the dot) a man of moderate means who assembled one of the greatest collections ever.Although I don't see what he saw in this large cent,should've been MS63.

coingirl Previously Ousted Canada 398 Posts	Posted 04/30/2012 11:35 am I fail to see WHY someones name on a coffin should command a premium for a GRADED coin.. Does that make it a different coin? Maybe a specially graded MS 64 ? I know, I had some and released them all from their grave. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 05/01/2012 12:06 am Quote: I fail to see WHY someones name on a coffin should command a premium for a GRADED coin.. Provenance is an important factor in the collection of high grade coins.Some collectors have a great eye for and pockets deep enough to aquire only the best of the best.When their collections are sold the next generation of discerning collectors takes over and further separates the best of the best.This has been going on generation after generation long before TPGs or even the Sheldon scale existed. bosox mentions the provenance of his coins no fewer than six times in this thread.Someday in the distant future "ex bosox collection" will bring a higher dollar than similarly graded coins. For my Pittman coin I knowingly bought the holder not the coin.It's not the first Pittman coin I've owned,a number of years ago before I knew anything of John J.(don't forget the dot),I bought a Pittman coin in a lot and resold it.He has since become at once my numismatic hero and anti-hero,and I felt a need to own part of his legacy.
