Ex. John A. Seeger Collection?

John A. Seeger was probably a lesser collector who may have had his collection auctioned and perhaps out of his estate.
It may be possible to stumble across his name with a search of the records of some of the major auction houses.

That is a common way how coins get to attain an auction history. Provenance can be assisted with such a history.

You will need some documentary support to demonstrate how this coin fits into an auction history. That support may be in the form of pictures or text, most probably from an auction catalogue.

nice looking coin, now part of the "silver surfer collection".

I've often wondered who people's names where I've seen associated with coins, and it usually turns out to be a case like sel outlines. got to agree with ben, whoever mr. seeger was, he had good taste in coins.

Thank you for all of your insightful ideas. I will likely purchase the numismatic magazine with his article in it. I do like the coin quite a bit, its almost like a medallion. If anyone knows anything further please post! Thanks again
