LibertyEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1214 Posts	Posted Yesterday 7:56 pm Does a "collection" pedigree on a coin mean anything to you (ex: redfield hoard, etc)? They never meant much to me but I recently came across a walker from the "littman collection." I did a little research and it appears he was someone who valued strike and eye appeal. I thought the history was kinda cool so I picked it up. Normally these things don't mean much to me so this is the only one in my collection. Report this Post to the Staff

livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2272 Posts	Posted Yesterday 8:39 pm Some labels are just marketing gimmick created at request of the owner getting coins graded in my opinion. The grading companies make labels like "first strike" "early releases" which a lot of collectors like but I don't. Coins labeled from a notible person's collection are interesting like the Ted Binion Hoard Morgans and Peace from Las Vegas. Reading about his life, the Casino, how he hid the coins in a bunker, how he died and the murder trial provides a history to the coins. A have a few of them. Pedigree coins from a famous collection or well known holders such as Redfield I think add value. But as always buy the coin, not so much the label or it's grade.

Vector Ze Pillar of the Community United States 576 Posts	Posted Yesterday 9:14 pm Not a tiny bit. I've only purchased one slabbed coin in my 50+ years of collecting, and I freed that coin to occupy my 7070. I couldn't tell you at the moment which company slabbed it. I tend toward raw coins to avoid the hassle. Edited by Vector Ze Yesterday 9:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
