  Of course, the general significance and value of pedigrees depend on the series or numismatic specialty. For my collecting interests (colonial and early American), I'd say:
  
  John Roper
  Garrett
  Norweb
  John Ford (including FCC Boyd)
  Hillyer Ryder
  Richard Picker
  Frederick B. Taylor
  Sylvester Crosby
  Joseph Mickley
  Edward Maris
  
  And, since there are so many others that are very much worth collecting, here's my honorable mention list:
  Eliasberg
  Pittman
  Robert A. Vlack (plate coins for his books)
  Walter Breen (plate coins for his books)
  James A. Stack
  Hain
  John Griffee
  Colonel James Ellsworth
  Lorin Parmelee
  John Story Jenks
  Waldo Newcomer

  Alright, I searched on here and couldn't find any information about the Jenks Pedigree.
  Anyone have any good info on it? I live down the street from the JS Jenks Elem. School in Philadelphia
  and I'm a big history buff. Had no idea he was a coin collector

  It would be an interesting "registry" so to speak to try and research the top 10 of all series, ie: gold dollars, quarter eagles, half eagles etc etc etc etc.
  
  Anyone interesting in giving that a try, we would be happy to give you the appropriate page on our website with credit to you ( or y'all if there's more than one person involved in this research ) and also issue the appropriate press releases etc.
  
  Good idea Al

  For those interested in patterns, check this out.
  
  Actually, it's not a bad example for anyone interested in assembling a list of great collectors/collections in any area of numismatics.
