Holder pedigrees - What do you think?

What is the best way to pedigree on a holder?

I have a coin from one of the FORD sales that has a long pedigree.

ex: John G. Mills, Hillyer Ryder, F.C.C. Bord, John J. Ford, Jr.

All can not fit ona holder. Is there a protocol to follow, like first name or last one?

Any opinions about the benefit or not on putting the pedigree on a holder?

    i would put



    Ryder-Boyd- Ford on the holder as the pedigree

    yea in this case i think the pedigree will bring positive synergy to the coin

    Another possibility would be Ford, the sale date and Lot #. That lets you know it is a Ford coin and where to go to get a full pedigree.

    Unless you have one of these, you don't have the rarest of pedigreed coins!!

    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    I sent you a PM with some examples, but in the specific question you raised I prefer

    Mills-Ryder-Ford

    If the names are extremely well known, like Garrett or Norweb or Mills of Ford, last name only will suffice.

    In a multiple pedigree chain, I would always take the most significant 3 names (thats all that fits), last names only, oldest to most recent, hyphenated with no spaces.

    I have a coin pedigreed to James A. Stack and in that case I wrote out the whole name first, last and middle initial.

    You don't need to say 'collection' - that just takes up space, and in a multiple name chain you don't have enough space anyway.

    They have removed a bunch of stuff from the front of the label. There is a good chance it all will fit as each pedigree is its own. If you look up cert number 21250096 you will see in the vaariety the are some bars, the pedigree, and some more bars. I believe pcgs uses these bars as spacers where the pedigree will go. There are four spaces that can be used, and that is a lot of room for a bunch of pedigrees. Good luck getting it just the way you want it. When you get it done, please post a photo of the label.



    According to the PCGS Certification Database, certification number 21250096 is defined as the following:

    I had been reholdering with newest to oldest in sequence. The easiest reference to find is the newest. Although, I like the idea of a name + auction date or other reference for full history.
